H5302 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE July 26, 2012 

And say a prayer for all of them, 

and all of those, and their loved ones who 

now so cry! 

So cry! 

Whose pain shall not so die! 

So die! 

And somehow find the strength, 

all in what their short lives so meant! 

All in the hope and light, 

that over evil . . . the goodness so burns 

bright! 

Burns bright! 

To the sense to find, 

upon this very night! 

The sense to find! 

As we lay their sacred bodies so down to rest! 

Amen! 

Mr. COFFMAN of Colorado. Mr. 

Speaker, I yield back the balance of 

my time. 

Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support 

of H. Con. Res. 134 and in support of the 

greater Denver community in the wake of the 

Aurora, Colorado tragedy. 

Twelve lives have been lost, 58 injured, and 

countless others affected by the shooting in 

Aurora, Colorado on July 20, 2012. 

This horrible crime reminds us that our time 

here is short, and that while we cannot always 

prevent senseless acts of violence, families, 

friends and neighbors can come together as a 

community to honor those we have lost, celebrate those who are still with us, and resolve 

to do all we can to prevent future violence. 

The Aurora community has exemplified this 

spirit of resiliency in the wake of tragedy, and 

is truly an inspiration for all of us. 

While we know not every senseless act of 

violence can be avoided, we can—and must— 

work every day to treat each other with decency and genuine respect. 

And I hope that this act of violence will not 

just sit on a page in our history books, but be 

a catalyst for the important conversations we 

have avoided all too long. 

There is more that we can do to protect our 

families and communities from gun violence. 

There is more that we can do to support our 

mental health care systems—both to avert future violence and to support those who are 

touched by it. 

And there is more that we can do to create 

a culture of tolerance and understanding. 

We stand together across our nation, knowing we are not grieving alone, and that others 

share our outrage at violent actions and violent rhetoric. 

As the Denver community heals from this 

senseless tragedy, please know that you are 

in the thoughts and prayers of all Americans. 

Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H. Con. Res. 134 to condemn in the 

strongest possible terms the heinous atrocities 

that occurred in Aurora, Colorado. 

But future generations will condemn us if 

sole response to this massacre is the passage 

of this resolution. 

As we watch the news from Colorado with 

horror and sympathy for the families, we 

should remember that each day more than 80 

Americans are killed by gunfire, unnecessary 

tragedies. Arguments that gun safety legislation won’t help the situation seem to me illogical or blindly ideological. 

Earlier this week we held a moment of silence for the victims and their families. I hope 

Congress does not remain silent about the 

many things we can do to try to prevent such 

tragedies from occurring in the future. We 

must increase our attention to mental health 

issues, we must support our local first responders with the tools and resources they 

need, and we must implement real and sensible gun control measures. 

Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 

condemn the unspeakable acts that were carried out in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20, 2012. 

I offer condolences on behalf of myself and 

the people of Texas District 11 to the innocent 

men, women, and children and their families 

who were victims of this cowardly act. 

While the pain and anguish continues, the 

people of Aurora should know they are not 

alone in this time of suffering. The hearts, 

thoughts, and prayers of the people of Texas 

are with them. 

The Lord’s words can provide comfort in 

times of tragedy. I am reminded of Psalms 34, 

which says, ‘‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in 

spirit.’’ It is my fervent prayer that the Lord will 

be a constant comfort to the victims and families and that he will hold them close to him as 

he begins to heal their wounds in body and 

spirit. 

May the Lord bless them with comfort in the 

face of senseless tragedy and peace in the 

face of unanswerable questions. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time 

for debate has expired. 

Pursuant to the order of the House of 

Wednesday, July 25, 2012, the previous 

question is ordered. 

The question is on the concurrent 

resolution. 

The concurrent resolution was agreed 

to. 

A motion to reconsider was laid on 

the table.

A message from the Senate by Ms. 

Curtis, one of its clerks, announced 

that the Senate has passed without 

amendment a bill of the House of the 

following title: 

H.R. 5872. An act to require the President

RED TAPE REDUCTION AND 

SMALL BUSINESS JOB CREATION 

ACT 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, by direction 

of the Committee on Rules, I call up 

House Resolution 741 and ask for its 

immediate consideration. 

The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: 

H. RES. 741 

Resolved, That during further consideration 

of the bill (H.R. 4078) to provide that no 

agency may take any significant regulatory 

action until the unemployment rate is equal 

to or less than 6.0 percent, as amended, pursuant to House Resolution 783, the further 

amendment printed in section 2 of this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the 

House and in the Committee of the Whole. 

SEC. 2. The amendment referred to in the 

first section of this resolution is as follows: 

In section 102(b), strike ‘‘employment’’ and 

insert ‘‘unemployment’’. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 1 hour. 

AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE

OFFERED BY MS. FOXX

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be 

amended by the amendment I have 

placed at the desk. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

Clerk will report the amendment. 

The Clerk read as follows: 

Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the following: 

That during further consideration of the 

bill (H.R. 4078) to provide that no agency 

may take any significant regulatory action 

until the unemployment rate is equal to or 

less than 6.0 percent, as amended, pursuant 

to House Resolution 738, the further amendment printed in section 2 of this resolution 

shall be considered as adopted in the House 

and in the Committee of the Whole. 

SEC. 2. The amendment referred to in the 

first section of this resolution is as follows: 

In section 102(b), strike ‘‘employment’’ and 

insert ‘‘unemployment’’. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentlewoman from North Carolina? 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. 

Speaker, reserving the right to object, 

I think we should have an explanation 

here. The Clerk read the technical language; but as I understand it, what 

happened was that the bill that we 

were voting on yesterday and will vote 

on today has an error and gets ‘‘employment’’ and ‘‘unemployment’’ confused and that this is a bill that would 

correct the error in the bill that we debated yesterday. 

So I wonder, why do we now need a 

unanimous consent? Are we correcting 

the correction? It’s the old Latin 

phrase ‘‘Quis custodiet ipsos 

custodes?’’ which means, ‘‘Who guards 

the guardians?’’ I guess the question 

today is, Who corrects the correctors? 

I would yield to the gentlewoman 

from North Carolina if she would explain why we had to get a bill to make 

a correction and why we now have to 

have a unanimous consent to probably 

correct the correction. What is the 

error? I guess I should ask, What is the 

error of the day? We know what yesterday’s error was. What’s today’s error? 

I yield to the gentlewoman. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, if I might 

respond to the gentleman from Massachusetts, I appreciate his asking the 

question because it gives us an opportunity to do a mea culpa. That’s my 

ability to quote Latin this morning in 

response to the gentleman from Massachusetts. 

Yes, there was a very minor error in 

the rule that was passed the day before 

yesterday, which was that two letters— 

the letter ‘‘U’’ and the letter ‘‘N’’— 

were left off of one word. 

b 1000 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Reclaiming my time to say, if that’s the 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
July 26, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5303 

case, if the letters ‘‘U’’ and ‘‘N’’ were 

left out, knowing the animosity on 

that side to the U.N., I can understand 

why psychologically that would have 

happened. 

I yield again to the gentlewoman. 

Ms. FOXX. Then in preparing the 

correction for that, inadvertently two 

numbers were reversed in the number 

for the resolution. 

I don’t have a Latin quote from Murphy’s law, but I would say that it appears as though, in the attempt to 

make one correction, unfortunately, 

another mistake was made. It was 

purely clerical errors, no nefarious intent. 

We would like to move on in as expeditious a fashion as we possibly can because we know we and our colleagues 

are looking forward to a weekend of 

work at home, and we would like to 

move along and get this accomplished 

so we can get to the important work, 

the underlying bill. 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. 

Speaker, proceeding on my reservation, 

I appreciate the gentlewoman’s mea 

culpa. She wasn’t here at the time. I 

would note that it is my predecessor, 

the late Reverend Robert Drinan, S.J., 

who was better than I at responding to 

mea culpas. I won’t be able wholly to 

deal with that. 

I do think this is more than simply a 

double error. It’s a matter of haste. I 

would take exception to the gentlewoman saying, well, it’s important 

that we get this done right away. I 

think, frankly, the problem has been in 

these past couple of years, and to some 

extent before, we haven’t met frequently enough. I understand people 

would like to get back to the districts 

they represent, but I think that this is 

emblematic of not having enough time 

to deal with things. 

We are going to be voting, I think, on 

20-something amendments today, important amendments on an important 

bill, that were debated for 10 minutes 

each late into yesterday evening, no 

proper airing of very controversial subjects. Indeed, I think this is what happens when you try to do too much too 

soon. 

People on the other side were critical 

of some of the legislation we passed. 

The financial reform bill, they said it 

was too encompassing. But it went 

through a much more thorough process 

than this very controversial, even more 

comprehensive bill that we’re dealing 

with today. The bill that we’re dealing 

with today deals with every single subject that comes before this Congress 

because it would put severe restrictions on the adoption of regulations 

about financial reform, about health, 

about the environment, about occupational safety, about transportation 

safety. 

Yes, it is a problem when you try to 

do too much too soon. I do not impute 

any nefarious intent. Let me say under 

the House rules, you can’t impute nefarious intent, even if you think there 

is some, and I don’t think there is any. 

So for two reasons, I don’t impute that. 

But it does seem to me that this is an 

example of a flawed legislative process. 

We’re doing this bill, which is kind of a 

big message bill. 

I know there’s a lot of criticism on 

the other side of the United States 

Senate, but the Senate passed an agricultural bill. This House isn’t even 

going to take one up, a very important 

agricultural bill. The Senate passed a 

transportation bill. This House had to 

go along with a conference without any 

chance to deliberate on it. The Senate 

passed a postal reform bill to keep the 

postal service going, and this House 

can’t take it up. 

When we can’t do the basic legislation that we should do and we do one of 

these broad message bills that’s overly 

comprehensive and then we make mistakes, I think it’s worth some notice. 

Mr. ANDREWS. Will the gentleman 

yield? 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. I yield 

to my colleague from New Jersey. 

Mr. ANDREWS. I thank the gentleman and the gentlelady. 

If I could speak on the gentleman’s 

reservation, obviously there is no nefarious intent. There’s no question 

about that. I would like the House to 

understand where we are procedurally. 

It’s my understanding that the 

House, yesterday, spent the better part 

of the day debating a bill which said 

that regulation should not take effect 

until unemployment hits 94 percent. Is 

that the gentleman’s understanding? 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Apparently, that is what was in the bill. 

They said it was a typo, that the letters ‘‘U’’ and ‘‘N’’ were left out. I will 

say there is certain equality here. The 

day before yesterday, the mistake was 

letters, and today it’s numbers. I suppose tomorrow it will be astrological 

signs. 

I yield to the gentleman. 

Mr. ANDREWS. I would assume that 

that flows from the fact that people 

didn’t read the bill, because we debated 

yesterday for most of the day on a bill 

that erroneously said ‘‘regulations 

can’t take effect until unemployment 

hits 94 percent.’’ The intention evidently was ‘‘until employment hits 94 

percent.’’ 

Then it’s my understanding that we 

find ourselves at the present moment 

in a situation where the correcting rule 

that would have fixed the word ‘‘unemployment’’ to be ‘‘employment,’’ itself, 

has an error in it, that it refers to another bill by reference; is that correct? 

And I yield to the gentlelady from 

North Carolina. 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. It’s 

my time. If the gentleman wants me to 

yield, I will yield. 

First, I would note that the error was 

in the first substantive page. This was 

not buried somewhere deep in the bill. 

Just to reinforce the point that a lot of 

people didn’t read the bill, that error 

was very much in the early part. 

Mr. ANDREWS. If the gentleman 

would yield, my understanding is it 

was in the fourth paragraph of the bill. 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Of the 

first substantive one. 

If the gentleman wants me to, I 

would yield to the gentlewoman from 

North Carolina. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, we are all 

human beings. How ironic it is that our 

colleagues were here just a few minutes 

ago on the floor discussing the tragedy 

in Aurora, Colorado. That was as great 

an example of what great human 

beings and how bipartisan we can be in 

this Chamber. It’s as great a bipartisan 

effort as I’ve seen in a long time. We 

know what to do as caring human 

beings, what to say in such situations. 

It’s such a great example of how this 

body can operate. That group was 

given 40 minutes to talk about a great 

tragedy. 

Now we’re engaging in a gotcha situation over an insignificant issue for 

which we take the responsibility. I’m 

frankly embarrassed that the tenor of 

the conversation is going in this direction after the wonderful bipartisan effort we just saw on this floor. A mistake was made, and then in attempting 

to correct the mistake, an extraordinarily minor other mistake was 

made. 

I would appeal to my colleagues on 

the other side of the aisle to say: We 

are human beings. We know how to forgive mistakes. Neither of these mistakes was made by a Member. We’re 

quite willing to overlook mistakes like 

this in the past. I think in the spirit of 

comity, in the spirit that was established on this floor this morning, we 

should move on, get to the work that 

the American people sent us here for, 

and understand, as was quoted this 

morning by one of our colleagues, ‘‘our 

time is very precious.’’ Don’t waste it 

by playing gotcha games. Think about 

what we discussed earlier. 

Mr. POLIS and I will debate this rule, 

and we’ll do it in a spirit of comity. 

That’s the way I think we should be operating. Yes, we made a mistake. Yes, 

a second mistake was made. We acknowledge that. We accept it. Now 

we’d like to get on to the people’s 

work. 

Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. First, 

as with regards to the tragedy, of 

course we all come together. But the 

fact that we can celebrate tragedy does 

not mean that we put aside, in a democratic body, our legitimate differences. 

This is not simply a small mistake, but 

it is a small mistake in a bill that is 

about as partisan as it gets. 

To make a plea for bipartisanship 

with this excessively partisan bill that 

is being put through in such a procedurally inappropriate fashion with 

major concerns about every aspect of 

the Federal Government, given 10 minutes of debate at 9 o’clock and 10 

o’clock at night to be voted on, no, 

that’s a mistake. 

b 1010 

Secondly, as the gentleman from New 

Jersey and I have pointed out, it is not 

simply that a mistake was made, but 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
H5304 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE July 26, 2012 

it’s a mistake that would easily have 

been caught earlier if people had read 

the bill. 

And I stress this because when we did 

some of the other legislation—financial 

reform, health care—there was constant repetition of the argument on the 

Republican side ‘‘You haven’t read the 

bill. Nobody’s read the bill.’’ Well, you 

haven’t read this bill, apparently, Mr. 

Speaker. At least not very many people 

have read it. 

And blaming the staff, I never like to 

do that, because the staff prepares 

things, but Members sign off on it. 

So, yes, we will proceed to this debate, but we are talking here about an 

indication, an overly broad bill given 

too little time for consideration. People on the other side—Members, apparently, didn’t read it. And that is not a 

small point. It is symptomatic of where 

we are. 

I will yield briefly to my friend from 

New Jersey. 

Mr. ANDREWS. I thank my friend for 

yielding. 

I agree completely with the gentlelady that human mistakes are made, 

but that is not what this is about. And 

certainly the House should review—— 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw 

my unanimous consent request. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. 

BASS of New Hampshire). The request 

is withdrawn. 

The gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 1 hour. 

Ms. FOXX. For the purpose of debate 

only, Mr. Speaker, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman 

from Colorado (Mr. POLIS), pending 

which I yield myself such time as I 

may consume. 

During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose 

of debate only. 

GENERAL LEAVE

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 

legislative days to revise and extend 

their remarks. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentlewoman from North Carolina? 

There was no objection. 

Ms. FOXX. To quote Rules Committee Chairman DREIER, ‘‘We are here 

playing out the 21st century version of 

the great Shakespearean play ‘Much 

Ado About Nothing.’’’ 

House Resolution 741 provides for the 

adoption of the amendment referred to 

in the resolution which would correct 

the technical error in H.R. 4078, the 

Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Job Creation Act. 

It’s very unfortunate that I must 

present this rule to the House today. 

The reason we are here is due to a typographical error. This innocent mistake could have been quickly and easily corrected through a unanimous consent agreement, but, tragically, the 

Democrat minority could not resist 

this opportunity to attempt to score 

political points. 

Not a day goes by that I don’t hear 

from constituents disheartened by the 

rigid partisanship emanating from 

Washington, D.C. This week, we had an 

opportunity to demonstrate the kind of 

cooperation the American people are 

craving without in any way compromising our principles. It’s a shame that 

the Democrats missed this opportunity, choosing, instead, to force this 

exercise in futility, tying up this House 

unnecessarily. 

There’s not much more that needs to 

be said on this issue at this point, Mr. 

Speaker, and I reserve the balance of 

my time. 

Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the 

gentlelady for the time. 

The bill before us here, referencing 

H.R. 783, is the Thomasina E. Jordan 

Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2011. It is a bipartisan 

bill, sponsored by the gentlemen from 

Virginia, Mr. MORAN, ROB WITTMAN, 

BOBBY SCOTT, and GERRY CONNOLLY. 

My party did intend to withdraw the 

objection and allow the change to proceed. Unfortunately, absent any 

change, we are still talking about a 

change to the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2011. 

This act extends Federal recognition 

to several tribes in Virginia and establishes their relationship with the Federal Government. The tribes that it establishes are the Chickahominy Tribe, 

the Chickahominy Indian Tribe-Eastern Division, the Upper Mattaponi 

Tribe, the Rappahannock Tribe, the 

Monacan Indian Nation, and the 

Nansemond Indian Tribe. 

This makes members of those tribes 

who apply and enroll eligible for services and benefits provided by the Federal Government to federally recognized Indian tribes. It also requires the 

Secretary of the Interior to take the 

specified lands into trust for the benefit of those tribes. 

This bill does have bipartisan support, and I think it’s a good thing that 

we’re taking up a bipartisan bill. We 

were willing to, again, withdraw our 

objection and allow a change to be 

made. The only problem now with the 

discussion of this bill is that the corresponding change indicated in the resolution doesn’t really make sense, as 

applied to this bill. Again, this is a bill 

that establishes several tribes, and yet 

a corresponding change is being made 

to the definition of the unemployment 

rate, which I can’t find in the bill. 

So I would like to ask my colleague, 

Ms. FOXX, where in the bill is the reference to the unemployment rate that 

is being changed in this resolution? 

Ms. FOXX. I believe that the Murphy’s law that was operating on our 

side of the aisle has skipped over, and 

the gentleman is referencing the wrong 

bill. 

Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, this 

is the bill that is referenced in the resolution that the Clerk read. I heard 

that. And I am here ready to discuss 

the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes 

of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 

2011, but I can’t find the corresponding 

change that this resolution makes. 

I just would like to ask the gentlelady, where in the bill is the unemployment reference in this Thomasina Indian Tribes recognition bill? 

Ms. FOXX. I believe, again, that the 

gentleman is referencing the wrong 

bill. We are dealing with House Resolution 741 at this point, and I believe the 

gentleman is on the wrong bill. 

Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, if I 

can ask the Clerk to read the current 

resolution before us. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without 

objection, the Clerk will report the resolution. 

There was no objection. 

The Clerk read the resolution. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I think by 

having the Reading Clerk read this, we 

can see, as I said before, that, unfortunately, it appears that the mistakes 

have gone over to the other side of the 

aisle. As the gentleman would see, he 

was quoting the wrong resolution. We 

are dealing with changes to House Resolution 783. 

Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, 

again, looking at the THOMAS registry, H.R. 783 is called the Thomasina 

E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia 

Federal Recognition Act. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker—— 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Colorado controls the 

time. 

Mr. POLIS. But let us get on to it. 

Again, the corresponding change does 

not exist in the spirit of bipartisanship. 

I was informed that my party was willing to withdraw their objection to a 

change that would have made a proper 

reference in this resolution to a corresponding bill that made sense. 

Absent that, the change does not 

make sense. I think it speaks to, again, 

the broader issue of: Why the great 

rush on a bill that is not an emergency 

bill by any sense of the word? 

There are critical bills we face that 

we need to move quickly on. My goodness, the Senate just passed the middle 

class tax cut. If the House doesn’t pass 

a corresponding middle class tax cut, 

taxes will increase for tens of millions 

of American families on January 1. 

There should be, likewise, some urgency around reining in our budget deficit and balancing the budget. Likewise, there should be some degree of 

urgency about creating jobs and ending 

the recession, putting people back to 

work. 

Here we have a bill, H.R. 4078, which, 

of course, is referenced under either 

version—the corrected or noncorrected 

version of this particular resolution— 

that is not a bipartisan bill. It’s a bill 

that, in Judiciary Committee, did not 

have any Democratic support. 

b 1020 

It is a bill that the President has indicated he does not support. It is a bill 

that we have no indication from the 

Senate that they would proceed with or 

pass. And I fail to understand the urgency of moving forward so fast that 

we don’t only make—that there is not 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
July 26, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5305 

only a mistake that was made in the 

original bill, but there is also a mistake apparently that was made in the 

correcting resolution, and there seems 

to be some uncertainty about whether 

we are even talking about a change to 

this bill or a Virginia tribe bill or an 

unemployment definition. 

And again, I would fully understand 

that if this was an emergency situation 

that required this body to move forward on behalf of our Nation. If this 

was a last-minute deal and something 

was expiring at midnight, we would 

need to immediately correct that and 

move forward. And I don’t think there 

would be any games from either side 

because that’s for the importance of 

the country. But that’s not the situation that we are facing here today. 

Now the American people, unfortunately, have grown to expect inefficiency and ineffectiveness from the 

House of Representatives. But this set 

of errors, this comedy of errors here 

today, is really just icing on the cake. 

The Republicans have put together a 

partisan, omnibus bill that they later 

find out had a typo. Then there was an 

effort to correct the typo, an effort 

that our side was willing to allow to 

move forward after briefly discussing. 

And then inexplicably, the Republicans 

decided not to correct the mistake. 

And now it is unclear whether we are 

talking about a tribal recognition bill 

or a nonexistent bill, a bill that has 

not been introduced. If there is no H. 

Res. 783, we are referencing a nonexistent bill, unless it references H.R. 

783 from a previous session. But in any 

event, these matters need to be corrected before we can proceed in any 

manner. This is an example of how the 

House of Representatives is run of late. 

There are many bipartisan, job-creating ideas that we can take up and we 

should take up on behalf of the country. 

Instead, we have a partisan approach 

that lacks bipartisan support, an innocent error made in the bill, another innocent error made in correcting the 

error to the bill. And that leaves us in 

a quandary, frankly, because we are 

discussing a fix to a nonexistent bill 

that it is hard to debate or talk about 

because how can one be for or against 

a change to a nonexistent bill. And 

that puts all of us in a very difficult 

situation. 

I’m sure, Mr. Speaker, the American 

public, even more so, the dismay that 

they show at this Congress, is only 

doubled and tripled, just throwing up 

their arms and saying, How are you 

even talking about a bill that makes 

reference to and changes a nonexistent 

bill which may or may not be a Virginia tribal bill, an underlying bill that 

is a partisan bill that confuses employment with unemployment? 

So that’s where we are, Mr. Speaker. 

We’ll get through this together. We’ll 

move forward as a country, but we can 

do better. 

I reserve the balance of my time. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I just have 

to point out to my colleague across the 

aisle that he has added a whole act to 

this comedy of errors, a whole act. 

I know that my colleague in his orientation must have learned the difference between bills and resolutions. 

Even though our staff attempted to 

help him and his staff understand this 

and save an embarrassment, we are not 

dealing with a House bill; we’re dealing 

with House Resolution 783, which my 

colleague said does not exist. It is a 

resolution, House resolution. That is 

different, Mr. Speaker, from a House 

bill, which is an H.R., has an H.R. number. So, unfortunately, again my colleague has compounded the situation. 

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take my 

colleague’s offer—I hope he will fulfill 

his comment that they won’t object to 

our getting this matter straight and 

moving on this morning so that we can 

get to the other business of the House. 

And with that, I reserve the balance of 

my time. 

Mr. POLIS. Prior to yielding to the 

gentlelady from Connecticut, I just 

want to the ask the gentlelady from 

North Carolina, what is House Resolution 783? We’re having trouble locating 

it. 

I yield to the gentlelady. 

Ms. FOXX. That does not exist, Mr. 

Speaker. 

Mr. POLIS. Reclaiming my time, 

again, in the absence of an actual 

House Resolution 783, I thought perhaps it was an erroneous reference to 

H.R. 783. Again, it is unclear what we 

are debating, but I know that we have 

somebody here who wants to debate an 

important topic that is critical to the 

country. 

I am happy to yield 3 minutes to the 

gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. 

DELAURO). 

Ms. DELAURO. Mr. Speaker, instead 

of debating whether we are going to 

have a resolution to fix a resolution or 

a resolution to fix a bill, what I want 

to urge is that what we do, that this 

House take up the middle class tax relief package that the Senate passed 

yesterday. So I rise to urge the House 

majority to bring to the floor the middle class tax cut that was passed in the 

Senate yesterday. 

Let me just take a quote from The 

Washington Post yesterday, the headline: ‘‘Republicans want to raise taxes 

on the poor. Why?’’ 

The tax cut plan passed yesterday by 

the Democrats in the Senate and supported by the President would provide 

tax cuts to 98 percent of Americans and 

97 percent of small businesses in this 

country. Failure to pass this bill would 

mean 114 million middle class families 

would see their taxes increase, including 1.4 million in my State of Connecticut. 

Yet, the House majority appears intent on holding these middle class tax 

cuts hostage to further tax cuts for the 

wealthiest people in this Nation. In 

fact, the House majority’s reverse 

Robin Hood tax plan, which failed in 

the Senate yesterday, would raise 

taxes on middle class and working families in order to pay for even more 

breaks for the wealthiest Americans. 

The majority’s tax plan is unconscionable. In order to pay for an over 

$160,000 tax break for millionaires, it 

would allow tax cuts to expire for 13 

million working families and raise 

taxes on the most vulnerable households in America. 

The Republican proposal would significantly weaken the child tax credit, 

leaving nearly 9 million families to 

lose an average of $854, with a family 

with one full-time minimum wage 

earner and two children seeing their 

credit drop far more drastically, from 

$1,812 to $267. As a result, the families 

of 2 million children would be pushed 

back into poverty. 

In addition, the Republican proposal 

would weaken the earned income tax 

credit, which supports low-income 

working families. This credit kept 8.3 

million people out of poverty last year. 

The proposal would also prevent millions of families from getting help to 

pay for college through the American 

Opportunity Tax Credit. And all to pay 

for more tax breaks for the wealthiest 

families in this country. 

This tax plan reveals the true colors 

of this House majority. They say they 

do not want to raise taxes on Americans in this economy, but their actions 

here speak louder than their rhetoric. 

Again, a quote from an article yesterday in The New York Times: 

Senate Republicans will press this week to 

extend tax cuts for affluent families scheduled to expire January 1, but the same Republican tax plan would allow a series of tax 

cuts for the working poor and the middle 

class to end next year. 

b 1030 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

time of the gentlewoman has expired. 

Mr. POLIS. I yield the gentlewoman 

an additional 30 seconds. 

Ms. DELAURO. There is a better way 

forward. Let’s take up the bill that was 

passed by the Senate, a bill that provides continued tax relief for the vast 

majority of American families. Let’s 

not hurt working class families with 

children who are struggling to get by 

in order to support tax breaks for the 

wealthiest few. Let’s have this House 

majority bring up the Senate-passed 

middle class tax plan. Support tax relief for middle class and working families, and I thank the gentleman. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I would like 

to inquire of my colleague if he believes that his side, in keeping with the 

theme of Shakespeare, has extracted 

their pound of flesh this morning? If so, 

we are ready to close. 

Mr. POLIS. We have one remaining 

speaker. 

Ms. FOXX. I will reserve the balance 

of my time. 

Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of the 

amendment in the RECORD, along with 

extraneous material, immediately 

prior to the vote on the previous question. 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
H5306 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE July 26, 2012 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentleman from Colorado? 

There was no objection. 

Mr. POLIS. If we defeat the previous 

question, I will offer an amendment to 

the rule to make in order an amendment which proposes that Congress 

will not adjourn until the President 

signs middle class tax cuts into law. 

With that, I would like to yield 3 

minutes to the gentleman from New 

York (Mr. TONKO). 

Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I thank 

the gentleman from Colorado for yielding time. 

I would hope that the order of business on this floor is guided by priorities, the most essential priorities that 

are calling for this body to respond to 

the people of this great Nation, and in 

these difficult economic times to do it 

with a degree of urgency. But what is 

our order of business here today on the 

floor? Fixing a typo. That’s what we’re 

doing here this morning. We’re fixing a 

typo in an election-year driven, politically motivated bill. But we are really 

wasting time and playing games. You 

see, our families and businesses are 

calling out for compromise, for confidence and for certainty. And this 

body has utterly failed to answer that 

call. 

Just yesterday, the other Chamber 

passed a bill to guarantee the current 

tax rate for our middle class. If this 

bill fails to pass, taxes will go up on 

nearly everyone in this country. 

But instead of passing the Senate 

bill, an extension of tax rates that 

nearly every single Member of this 

body supports, our order of business is 

an attempt to pass a rule on the underlying bill for a second time. Why? So 

that we can continue to hold the extension of middle class tax cuts hostage to 

enable the richest amongst us to get 

another Bush-era style tax handout. 

Make no mistake. There is but a single roadblock in the way for the middle 

class right now—and that’s the majority in this House. The other Chamber 

passed a bill. The President said he will 

sign that bill. And if just one of every 

10 Republicans in this body stands with 

our side of the aisle, we can ensure certainty and confidence for our middle 

class. 

Instead, it looks like we are heading 

down the road of yet another manufactured crisis. From government shutdowns to debt ceiling debacles to highway bill holdups, this body has consistently fallen short over the past year 

and a half. 

So let’s quit these games on the underlying bill. This is about more than a 

typo. It’s about priorities, and it’s 

about values. And right now, we must 

prioritize middle class tax cuts and 

provide the certainty and predictability that our American families so 

desperately deserve and need. 

Ms. FOXX. I will continue to reserve, 

Mr. Speaker, the balance of my time. 

Mr. POLIS. I yield myself such time 

as I may consume. 

Mr. Speaker, I didn’t like this underlying bill in its original form. I voted 

against several components of it on Judiciary Committee, and it’s a lost opportunity because there was real opportunity to do bipartisan regulatory 

reform. Both parties agree with 

streamlining government processes, reducing red tape, and helping important 

projects move forward, but that was 

the path not taken. 

Unfortunately, this body is moving 

forward in a different way now. With 

the underlying flaw in the bill, I would 

imagine it would have very little support from either side of the aisle— 

namely, prohibiting agencies from promulgating regulation until employment reached, or unemployment, 

reached 94 percent, which is nonsensical. But even this new bill now, this 

correction to the bill, which corrects a 

nonexistent House Resolution 783, 

which, it has been indicated, needs to 

be changed. And there was an effort to 

do that, which was inexplicably withdrawn. No one from my party indicated 

that they planned to object; they simply reserved the right to object and 

find out what exactly was going on. 

We have found out what is going on. 

Apparently, the Republicans need to 

change the resolution that is referenced in H. Res. 741. And I hope they 

do so. At the very least, then, this bill, 

while bad policy, will not be nonsensical as it is now, referencing a nonexistent bill. But consideration of all of 

this is the equivalent of fiddling while 

Rome burns. 

Consideration of this rule and this 

bill and the change to the bill and the 

change to the rule that changed the 

bill is all a major time sink while the 

country has real needs, like a middle 

class tax cut, like investing in infrastructure and like creating jobs. 

The only thing preventing tax cuts 

for 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses from going 

into effect now is this House of Representatives. We should not hold these 

tax cuts hostage to a change to a bill 

and a change to a rule that changes a 

bill that doesn’t exist. No—a change to 

a rule to a bill. Well, that’s where we 

are today in the U.S. House of Representatives, Mr. Speaker. Frankly, 

Mr. Speaker, this country deserves better. I cannot support this wasteful rule 

or bill. 

I urge a ‘‘no’’ vote on the rule and 

the underlying bill, and I yield back 

the balance of my time. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. 

We’re faced here today with trying to 

correct a couple of very minor errors 

that have occurred. But my colleague 

wants us to violate the Constitution by 

bringing forth a bill from the Senate 

which the Constitution clearly says is 

the responsibility of the House, and 

legislation related to taxes must begin 

in the House, so I find it a little unsettling that our colleagues have urged us 

to take up a bill that they know would 

violate the Constitution. All we’re 

dealing with here are, again, some very 

minor clerical errors. 

Mistakes happen. As silly and as embarrassing they are, but adults take responsibility for their mistakes, and 

that’s what we’re doing here. At the 

end of the day, we’ll still pass a bill to 

cut down on a bloated bureaucracy and 

to allow small businesses to flourish. 

AMENDMENT OFFERED BY MS. FOXX

Ms. FOXX. With that, Mr. Speaker, I 

move to amend the resolution with the 

amendment I have placed at the desk. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

Clerk will report the amendment. 

The Clerk read as follows: 

Page 1, line 5, strike ‘‘783’’ and insert 

‘‘738’’. 

The material previously referred to 

by Mr. POLIS is as follows: 

AN AMENDMENT TO H. RES. 741 OFFERED BY

MR. POLIS OF COLORADO

At the end, add the following new sections: 

SEC. 2. It shall not be in order to consider 

a concurrent resolution providing for adjournment or adjournment sine die unless 

the House has been notified that the President has signed a bill to extend for one year 

certain expired or expiring tax provisions 

that apply to middle-income taxpayers with 

income below $250,000 for married couples filing jointly, and below $200,000 for single filers, including, but not limited to, marginal 

rate reductions, capital gains and dividend 

rate preferences, alternative minimum tax 

relief, marriage penalty relief, and expanded 

tax relief for working families with children 

and college students. 

SEC. 3. Following consideration of the 

amendments printed in part B of House Report 112–616 pursuant to House Resolution 

738, there shall be pending in the Committee 

of the Whole an amendment described in section 4 as though it were printed as the last 

amendment in such part. That amendment 

shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by a proponent and an 

opponent. 

SEC. 4. The amendment referred to in section 3 is an amendment proposing to add at 

the end of H.R. 4078 the text of S. 3412 as approved by the Senate on July 25, 2012. 

(The information contained herein was 

provided by the Republican Minority on multiple occasions throughout the 110th and 

111th Congresses.) 

THE VOTE ON THE PREVIOUS QUESTION: WHAT

IT REALLY MEANS

This vote, the vote on whether to order the 

previous question on a special rule, is not 

merely a procedural vote. A vote against ordering the previous question is a vote 

against the Republican majority agenda and 

a vote to allow the opposition, at least for 

the moment, to offer an alternative plan. It 

is a vote about what the House should be debating. 

Mr. Clarence Cannon’s Precedents of the 

House of Representatives (VI, 308–311), describes the vote on the previous question on 

the rule as ‘‘a motion to direct or control the 

consideration of the subject before the House 

being made by the Member in charge.’’ To 

defeat the previous question is to give the 

opposition a chance to decide the subject before the House. Cannon cites the Speaker’s 

ruling of January 13, 1920, to the effect that 

‘‘the refusal of the House to sustain the demand for the previous question passes the 

control of the resolution to the opposition’’ 

in order to offer an amendment. On March 

15, 1909, a member of the majority party offered a rule resolution. The House defeated 

the previous question and a member of the 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
July 26, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5307 

opposition rose to a parliamentary inquiry, 

asking who was entitled to recognition. 

Speaker Joseph G. Cannon (R-Illinois) said: 

‘‘The previous question having been refused, 

the gentleman from New York, Mr. Fitzgerald, who had asked the gentleman to 

yield to him for an amendment, is entitled to 

the first recognition.’’ 

Because the vote today may look bad for 

the Republican majority they will say ‘‘the 

vote on the previous question is simply a 

vote on whether to proceed to an immediate 

vote on adopting the resolution . . . . [and] 

has no substantive legislative or policy implications whatsoever.’’ But that is not what 

they have always said. Listen to the Republican Leadership Manual on the Legislative 

Process in the United States House of Representatives, (6th edition, page 135). Here’s 

how the Republicans describe the previous 

question vote in their own manual: ‘‘Although it is generally not possible to amend 

the rule because the majority Member controlling the time will not yield for the purpose of offering an amendment, the same result may be achieved by voting down the previous question on the rule . . . . When the 

motion for the previous question is defeated, 

control of the time passes to the Member 

who led the opposition to ordering the previous question. That Member, because he 

then controls the time, may offer an amendment to the rule, or yield for the purpose of 

amendment.’’ 

In Deschler’s Procedure in the U.S. House 

of Representatives, the subchapter titled 

‘‘Amending Special Rules’’ states: ‘‘a refusal 

to order the previous question on such a rule 

[a special rule reported from the Committee 

on Rules] opens the resolution to amendment and further debate.’’ (Chapter 21, section 21.2) Section 21.3 continues: ‘‘Upon rejection of the motion for the previous question on a resolution reported from the Committee on Rules, control shifts to the Member leading the opposition to the previous 

question, who may offer a proper amendment 

or motion and who controls the time for debate thereon.’’ 

Clearly, the vote on the previous question 

on a rule does have substantive policy implications. It is one of the only available tools 

for those who oppose the Republican majority’s agenda and allows those with alternative views the opportunity to offer an alternative plan. 

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I yield back 

the balance of my time, and I move the 

previous question on the amendment 

and on the resolution. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

question is on ordering the previous 

question on the amendment and on the 

resolution. 

The question was taken; and the 

Speaker pro tempore announced that 

the ayes appeared to have it. 

Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, on that I 

demand the yeas and nays. 

The yeas and nays were ordered. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 

will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum 

time for any electronic vote on the 

question of adoption of the amendment 

and adoption of the resolution. 

The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were—yeas 235, nays 

183, not voting 13, as follows:

So the amendment was agreed to. 

The result of the vote was announced 

as above recorded. 

The Acting CHAIR (Mr. GINGREY of 

Georgia). There being no further 

amendments, under the rule, the Committee rises. 

Accordingly, the Committee rose; 

and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 

SIMPSON) having assumed the chair, 

Mr. GINGREY of Georgia, Acting Chair 

of the Committee of the Whole House 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
H5318 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE July 26, 2012 

on the state of the Union, reported that 

that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 4078) to provide that no agency may take any significant regulatory action until the unemployment rate is equal to or less 

than 6.0 percent, and, pursuant to 

House Resolution 738, he reported the 

bill, as amended by that resolution and 

House Resolution 741, back to the 

House with sundry further amendments adopted in the Committee of the 

Whole. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under 

the rule, the previous question is ordered. 

Is a separate vote demanded on any 

further amendment reported from the 

Committee of the Whole? If not, the 

Chair will put them en gros. 

The amendments were agreed to. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

question is on the engrossment and 

third reading of the bill. 

The bill was ordered to be engrossed 

and read a third time, and was read the 

third time. 

MOTION TO RECOMMIT

Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, I have a 

motion to recommit at the desk. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the 

gentlewoman opposed to the bill? 

Ms. SUTTON. I am opposed in its 

current form. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

Clerk will report the motion to recommit. 

The Clerk read as follows: 

Ms. Sutton moves to recommit the bill 

H.R. 4078 to the Committee on Oversight and 

Government Reform with instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith, 

with the following amendment: 

Add, at the end of the bill, the following: 

TITLE VIII—MISCELLANEOUS 

SEC. 801. EXEMPTION FOR DISCLOSURE OF OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNTS, MIDDLE 

INCOME TAX RELIEF, AND PROTECTIONS FOR CONSUMERS. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of 

this Act, nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall impose any 

limitation on agency action that would— 

(1) require the disclosure of a foreign financial account, including a bank account; 

(2) implement tax cuts for middle class 

American families; 

(3) protect against Asian Carp and other 

invasive species; 

(4) ensure the safety of prescription drugs; 

or 

(5) provide foreclosure relief and curb predatory practices by bank and non-bank 

subprime lenders. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Ohio is recognized for 5 

minutes in support of her motion. 

Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, at the 

outset, I want to be clear that this 

final amendment does not kill the underlying bill. It only improves it. So regardless of whether you intend to vote 

for the legislation or against it, you 

will have the opportunity to do so 

today. 

In a little more than a week, we will 

be getting back to our districts for the 

August work period. Some of us will 

have the opportunity to sit down with 

seniors to talk about the issues that affect them. Some will visit job sites or 

national parks. Regardless of where 

you go, there are basic protections that 

ensure the safety and the security of 

the people you’ll meet with. 

If you represent a district with a 

high foreclosure rate, there are commonsense protections that stand between your constituents and predatory 

subprime lenders. If you represent a 

district that borders one of our Great 

Lakes, like I do, there are basic protections that aim to keep invasive species, 

like Asian carp, out of our Great 

Lakes, protections that not only preserve and protect our natural species 

but thousands of jobs and the futures of 

the people from Illinois to New York. If 

you represent a district that has even 

one senior, as we all do, there are critical protections to ensure that their 

prescription drugs are safe and that the 

care they get must be safe as well. 

In a week, we will all face our constituents, constituents who rely on 

these protections to stay safe, to stay 

healthy, and to hold onto their share of 

the American Dream. What this motion to recommit does is to allow us to 

recommit ourselves to those essential 

protections for the people whom we 

serve. 

It ensures, while middle class Americans are paying their fair share and are 

playing by the rules, that those at the 

very top can’t simply hide their money 

away in foreign bank accounts, because 

those who do well in America should do 

well by America. It also ensures that 

we have the protections we need to protect the financial futures of our middle 

class families and that we have cuts for 

them, for the middle class families— 

those who really need it. 

It ensures that those protections that 

hold invasive species at bay, while allowing future generations to enjoy 

America’s environmental wonders, will 

be upheld. It ensures that our prescription drugs for our mothers and fathers, 

our sons and daughters, and our grandchildren are safe and that home ownership is still the American Dream, not a 

subprime nightmare. 

If you vote for this final amendment 

to the bill today, you will be able to 

honestly tell your constituents that 

you have voted to protect them, to protect their families, and to protect their 

futures. 

Mr. Speaker, the days left in this 

Congress are quickly coming to an end. 

What we have here is an opportunity to 

accomplish what our constituents sent 

us here to do nearly 2 years ago—to put 

politics aside and to put our neighbors 

first. For the good of our country, let 

us join together in this moment to pass 

these commonsense protections. 

I encourage my colleagues to vote 

‘‘yes’’ on this commonsense, balanced 

final amendment to the bill. Then we 

can immediately vote on final passage. 

I yield back the balance of my time. 

b 1220 

Mr. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in 

strong opposition to this motion. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the 

gentleman opposed to the motion? 

Mr. KELLY. Yes. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes. 

Mr. KELLY. Mr. Speaker, in 2011, we 

came to this House for one reason, and 

it was a motion to recommit. We recommitted to the people of the United 

States that we were going to change 

the way business was done in this 

town. This motion to recommit is a 

joke. This is ridiculous. 

Let me tell you about what it’s like 

to be in the real world and not inside 

the Beltway. I operate a business that 

my father started back in 1953, after 

being a parts picker in a General Motors warehouse, going to fight the war, 

and coming back home. I called our 

body shop manager today, Jason 

Sholes. He’s been with me for 26 years. 

I said to Jason, ‘‘I need to know the 

cost of tape, Jason.’’ He goes, ‘‘What 

are you talking about, Mike?’’ I said, 

‘‘In our body shop, when people wreck 

their car and bring their car in, I know 

we have to use a lot of tape.’’ He said, 

‘‘Oh, my goodness. Has the cost of tape 

gone crazy. We use two types of tape, 

Mike. We use green tape. Green tape is 

the tape we use when we have to use 

water on a job, and we have to make 

sure that the tape sticks, and that’s up 

to $4 a roll.’’ 

I said, ‘‘Tell me about the other 

tape.’’ He said, ‘‘The other tape is yellow tape.’’ I said, ‘‘Tell me about the 

yellow tape.’’ He said, ‘‘That’s when 

we’re going to paint a car, and we don’t 

have to use the green tape. The yellow 

tape is a little less expensive. It’s only 

$2 a roll. But, Mike, I’ve got to tell you 

that we’re spending $160 a month on 

tape, and it’s really making me wonder 

about whether I’m doing the right 

thing.’’ 

I said, ‘‘Jason, we’re spending about 

$2,000 a year on green and yellow 

tape?’’ He said, ‘‘Yes, we are.’’ I said, 

‘‘Jason, do you know what the cost of 

red tape is?’’ He goes, ‘‘I have no idea. 

We don’t use red tape.’’ I said, ‘‘Yes, we 

do. It’s $1.75 trillion.’’ That’s the cost 

of red tape. 

I called my friend Don Shamey at 

NexTier Bank. I said, ‘‘Don, we’ve 

know each other since we were kids. 

Our wives know each other, and our 

kids grew up together. We do a lot of 

things together. I’ve done business 

with you for 40 years. You’re right 

across the street from me. Don, tell me 

about the new regulations.’’ He said, 

‘‘Mike, if you take a look at it, there’s 

1,100 pages now that are the definition 

of whether you’re a qualified borrower 

or not.’’ I said, ‘‘It only took 1,100 

pages for the government to determine 

what the definition of a qualified borrower is? Are you kidding me? Do you 

mean to sit here and say that you are 

serious?’’ 

We renovated a ballpark in my hometown with a guy named Tom 

Burnatowski, a veteran. It took us a 

couple of million dollars to renovate 


tjames on DSK6SPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
July 26, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5319 

our ballpark. The day we were going to 

open up, I got a call at the dealership 

where he said, ‘‘Mike, could you come 

down.’’ I said, ‘‘Why? What’s going on.’’ 

He said, ‘‘We’re having trouble with 

the occupancy permit.’’ I went down to 

see. I said, ‘‘What’s the problem?’’ He 

said, ‘‘Come into the men’s room. Let 

me show you what the problem is.’’ I 

said, ‘‘You know, we have 1,500 people 

that want to come and see the opening 

ball game.’’ He said, ‘‘But we’ve got a 

major problem. The mirrors in the 

restroom are a quarter of an inch too 

low. So you can’t possibly open that 

ballpark.’’ 

You want to know the price of regulation? You want to talk about the 

thousands and thousands of pages that 

we put on the backs of the job creators? You want to talk about creating 

jobs in America? When you want to see 

a Nation that doesn’t want to participate but wants to dominate in the 

world market, then let them rise. Take 

the heavy boot off the throat of America’s job creators and let them breathe. 

The jobs we are talking about are not 

red jobs or blue jobs; they’re red, 

white, and blue jobs. They are not 

Democrat jobs or Republican jobs or 

independent jobs or libertarian jobs; 

they are American jobs. If you want 

this country to thrive and not just survive, then please start playing the 

game by the rules and stop this ridiculous mockery of what it is that we do 

here in this town. We are so out of 

touch with the American people. 

Do you know what all this does? It 

adds layer, after layer of cost, and that 

cost is ultimately paid for by the 

American consumer. You want to have 

more revenues? Then let the tide rise 

for all boats. Let us be able to not only 

survive, but to thrive. 

This is not a left or right issue, this 

is an American issue. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to 

rise today and vote for H.R. 4078. Let’s 

let America get back to work. 

With that, I yield back the balance of 

my time. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without 

objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. 

There was no objection. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

question is on the motion to recommit. 

The question was taken; and the 

Speaker pro tempore announced that 

the noes appeared to have it. 

Ms. SUTTON. Mr. Speaker, on that I 

demand the yeas and nays. 

The yeas and nays were ordered. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, the Chair 

will reduce to 5 minutes the minimum 

time for any electronic vote on the 

question of passage. 

The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were—yeas 181, nays

PERMISSION FOR MEMBER TO BE 

CONSIDERED AS FIRST SPONSOR 

OF H.R. 3703 

Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. 

Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that 

I may hereafter be considered to be the 

first sponsor of H.R. 3703, a bill originally introduced by Representative 

Inslee of Washington, for the purposes 

of adding cosponsors and requesting 

reprintings pursuant to clause 7 of rule 

XII. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentleman from Washington? 

There was no objection. 

f 

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM 

(Mr. HOYER asked and was given 

permission to address the House for 1 

minute.) 

Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I yield to 

my friend, the majority leader, for the 

purpose of inquiring about the schedule 

for the coming week. 

Mr. CANTOR. I thank the gentleman 

from Maryland, the Democratic whip, 

for yielding. 

Mr. Speaker, on Monday the House 

will meet in pro forma session, but no 

votes are expected. On Tuesday the 

House will meet at noon for morninghour and 2 p.m. for legislative business. 

Votes will be postponed until 6:30 p.m. 

On Wednesday and Thursday the House 

will meet at 10 a.m. for morning-hour 

and noon for legislative business. On 

Friday the House will meet at 9 a.m. 

for legislative business. Last votes of 

the week are expected no later than 3 

p.m. 

Mr. Speaker, the House will consider 

a number of suspensions on Tuesday 

and Wednesday, a complete list of 

which will be announced by the close of 

business tomorrow. 

In addition, the House will consider 

two bills under a rule to stop the tax 

hikes and provide for comprehensive 

tax reform: H.R. 8, the Job Protection 

and Recession Prevention Act, sponsored by Chairman DAVE CAMP; and 

H.R. 6169, the Pathway to Job Creation 

through a Simpler, Fairer Tax Code 

Act, sponsored by Chairman DAVID

DREIER. Together, these bills will ensure that no American faces a tax hike 

on January 1, while providing our 

small business men and women with 

the certainty to grow and create jobs. 

Finally, Mr. Speaker, the House may 

consider legislation related to programs and disaster assistance under 

the expiring farm bill legislation. 

I thank the gentleman. 

Mr. HOYER. I thank the gentleman 

for that information. 

As the gentleman knows, he was unable to have the colloquy last week, 

and so Mr. ROSKAM and I talked about 

the schedule. Last week, the chief deputy majority whip mentioned that we 

would be voting on the tax bill, as you 

have done, and he also mentioned that 

we would be given the opportunity to 

offer a substitute amendment on the 

floor of our choosing. 

Is that still the plan of the majority 

so that we’ll be able to offer that legislation? I yield to my friend. 

Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I didn’t 

understand the gentleman’s question,

Mr. HOYER. My question is: Last 

week we had a colloquy, and Mr. ROSKAM indicated that we would be able to

form of a substitute or an amendment. 

But in either event, I’m asking, Mr. 

Majority Leader, whether that is still 

the case and whether or not such

be necessary for the piece of legislation
