sundry amendments adopted in the committee of the whole with a recommendation that amendments be adopted and that the bill as amended to pat on the house resolution five forty seven the previous question is or is a separate vot five minutes the clerk will report about history lewis of california moves to recommit to billing to our thirty forty three to the committee on appropriations with instructions to report to same back to the house promptly with an amendment providing funds made available to any child welfare agency private or public elementary school private or public secondary school local educational agency or state educational engine c one or titles two or three of the bill may be used to pay for any fees charged  school's safely acquiring faculty excellence act of two thousand and six for conducting background checks authorized by law the gentleman is recognized five minutes this speaker  is all about essentially for the house is a new and better understanding we provide simply discretionary flexibility to school districts to use funding in these titles to make certain that they know well the backgrounds of those people who will be working with and around children and with that i would yield to my colleague from the data john ford or because he spent a good deal of time and in this arena and is deserves a jason to mine and the beautiful downtown the better we understand some of the amendment that i passed last year has helped protect twenty seven more twenty seven million more children across this country by providing for school districts that could not in the past do criminal background checks this session alone we pass additional legislation to help kids that are in head start by giving them additional protection for a million children that did not have that before an example of what's happening this epidemic nationwide and we have teachers we have professionals we have individuals that are our predators sexual predators following our children we need to make sure we add one additional tool and that eliminates a barrier to help fund these programs that we've passed last session in this session headstart alone one particular program had six hundred sixty teachers that they were not inspected for five years they discovered out of six hundred sixty teachers one hundred one hundred teachers and support staff had criminal backgrounds of that fifty had serious from first degree murder to child predator to domestic violence what i'm asking this by to do is use common sense allow for these school districts to eliminate one more barrier to help them pay for these background  problem it can easily be dealt with in conference by mr wallace and myself and the rest of the committee but in fact it's not a problem the fact is that under the bill money in the safe and drug free schools account can already be used for exactly the same purpose i would also like to point out however that this is a program which was cut by the president to one hundred million dollars and the house has restored one hundred forty six million dollars above the president's figure to take care of problems just such as this but the membership should also understand that this recommit kills the bill it is dressed up in language on fees but the in fact it calls for the bill true to be referred to the committee and reported back promptly not forthwith and as members know that is a device that kills the bill we have endured over the last three days filibusters by amendment we've had twenty five hours of amendments sometimes repetitious amendments we've spent twice as much time on this bill as was spent the last time that the bill was considered by the congress and i would make one other point the sponsors of this amendment are of this proposal could used used it to do anything they wanted to do with the bill they could have cut the bill they could have changed the priorities they didn't and the fact that they didn't in my view is an admission that in terms of policy this is a good bill it is a backhanded admission that this bill out of pass as is so i would ask members to vote no on the motion and vote yes on passage they can then go home being done good things for america's children for americans who need help to get health care and for american workers let me also take just a second thank the house for its indulgence over the last three days i know that it is often been tiresome but i appreciate the fact that they understood that the committee was just trying to do its job and i yield to the distinguished majority leaders i thank the gentleman for y be defeated because it kills the bill the gentleman from and obama were serious about this motion he would have asked that to be forthwith that would have passed his amendment this is not a serious amendment i tell my friend this is unfortunately however why the american public is so upset with the congress of the united states because what they see they say the congress is not getting its work done and they are right and they are right because obstructionism is occurring on this floor and on the floor across the wa and if it were in the name of serious legislating perhaps they would understand but this is not serious legislating a because the money can be spent for that now  because it kills a bill that is for the education and the health care of our people reject this delaying specious motion passed this bill the gentleman from wisconsin mr speaker again i want to thank members of both parties who have helped through the process i urge a no vote on this motion and a bipartisan yes vote on final passage thank you very much the gentleman from georgia quite true that if indeed this motion passed this bill could be reported back to the respective committee to which it was designated and it's a bill could be reported back to the house the very next adoption of a motion to recommit with instructions to report back promptly send the bill to committee whose eventual report if any would not be immediately before the house this is alumina it the president of the will reduce to five minutes the minimum time for any electronic vote on the question of pass thank
