July 25, 2012 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H5217 

But I want to say this, Madam 

Speaker: We already know that Americans want to be less dependent on foreign energy. The Republican plan obviously does that. Americans also want 

to have parts of the economy start 

growing. Energy production is a way to 

jump-start our economy with good 

American jobs. So those are all givens. 

But the rhetoric sometimes coming 

from the other side is: Why are some 

areas emphasized and some areas are 

not? Because we use a very, very novel 

approach to where we should sell leases 

and explore for oil, and that is, very 

simply, where we think the resources 

are, and then people will bid on that 

and take a chance and see if there are 

resources. If there are, they will drill, 

and the Federal Treasury and the 

American people benefit. 

A good case of that, by the way, 

Madam Speaker, is in southern California, because reference has been 

made several times to southern California, and specifically to Santa Barbara, California, the Santa Barbara 

Channel. 

Now, the State Lands Commission 

says that there are 1,200 natural occurring seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, and it’s estimated that coming out 

of these naturally occurring seeps in 

the Santa Barbara Channel is 55,000 

barrels a year—each year. Experts have 

concluded that that amount of seep 

could be translated into enough fuel to 

fuel the energy for Santa Barbara 

County for 71⁄2 years. Now, that is a lot 

of oil. 

We believe the opportunity ought to 

be to go—again, with the novel approach—where the oil is. So that’s why 

our approach says, okay, let’s open up 

all these areas. Let’s allow the private 

sector to ascertain if they want to pay 

somebody for a lease to develop those 

resources. 

b 1320 

That is in essence what this debate is 

about. 

And finally, let me conclude this 

way, Mr. Speaker. The fact is that the 

President’s plan reinstates the moratorium that existed going up to 2008. The 

American people demanded that be lifted with $4 gasoline, but this essentially 

reinstates that. 

I think that’s the wrong policy. So 

we’ll have an opportunity today to 

vote on two proposals: one that does 

increase American energy and creates 

American jobs, or one that maintains 

the status quo. In fact, it doesn’t even 

do that. It goes back and reestablishes 

the moratorium and locks up 85 percent of our resources. 

So I urge a ‘‘no’’ vote on this suspension bill, and a ‘‘yes’’ vote on the subsequent bill that we debated yesterday, 

H.R. 6082. 

With that, I yield back the balance of 

my time. 

Mr. BLUMENAUER. Madam Speaker, I 

voted for H.R. 6168, President Obama’s Proposed 2012–2017 Offshore Drilling Lease Sale 

Plan Act. I emphasize that this is a qualified 

support. The President’s plan maintains important protections for the Pacific Coast, the Atlantic Coast, and Bristol Bay. It is far better 

than the Republican alternative, which would 

open most of the American coastline to drilling, and which would eliminate important environmental safeguards in the process. 

Should Congress move forward with the 

President’s proposal, it should do so with care, 

ensuring sufficient protection throughout the 

process. In particular, I am concerned about 

the potential permitting in Alaska. The President’s proposal does require additional research and comprehensive analysis before approval of any project in Alaska, I underscore 

the need to have a full understanding of the 

impacts of drilling on the Alaskan ecosystems 

before moving forward. Appropriate safeguards must be in place and I look forward to 

working with the administration to ensure that 

we move forward with projects only after being 

confident that they do not pose a threat to the 

environment, ecosystems, or existing local 

economies in the area. 

Our biggest priority should be reducing our 

dependence on fossil fuels, regardless of 

whether or not those fuels are obtained domestically or internationally. I will continue to 

work with my colleagues to support policies 

that support clean energy production and energy efficiency. 

Mr. HOLT. Madam Speaker, today we are 

considering the so-called President Obama’s 

Proposed 2012–2017 Offshore Drilling Lease 

Sale Plan Act (H.R. 6168). 

This legislation, to require the Department of 

the Interior to conduct the very offshore drilling 

plan they are already set to implement, has 

been rushed to floor just so that the majority 

could vote against it in a political stunt. Even 

the sponsor of this bill will oppose it. 

Although I have serious concerns with the 

DOI’s plan to hold lease sales in the Arctic, 

where spill response capabilities are virtually 

nonexistent and the merits of opening this 

pristine environment to drilling remain unclear, 

the DOI’s five-year plan stands in stark contrast to the House Republican plan for offshore oil and gas development. 

The Republican plan amounts to yet another 

attempt to open up nearly every last piece of 

our public lands to drilling and hand even 

more giveaways to Big Oil. It is important to 

note that the President’s plan does not provide 

for oil and gas lease sales off of the coast of 

New Jersey. 

For these reasons, I will vote for H.R. 6168. 

But I want the RECORD to reflect that my vote 

for this bill is not an endorsement of expanded 

drilling in the Arctic or seismic exploration off 

of the coast of New Jersey. I strongly oppose 

drilling off of the coast of New Jersey and in 

the Mid-Atlantic and I offered an amendment 

to the bill we are considering to prevent any 

new drilling in that region. 

Along with my Democratic colleagues on the 

Natural Resources Committee, I have offered 

bills to implement the safety recommendations 

of the National Commission on the Deepwater 

Horizon Oil Spill and to establish a fee on inactive leases as an incentive for oil companies 

to begin producing on the lands they already 

hold—of course, applying up-to-date environmental and safety lessons. I also introduced 

the Big Oil Bailout Prevention Act to make 

sure that oil companies pay the full cost of 

damages resulting from future oil spills. 

We should be considering these important 

reform bill not political stunts designed to let 

the majority pat themselves on the back about 

what a good job they are doing to promote the 

development of the natural resources that belong to all Americans. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. 

SIMPSON). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from 

Washington (Mr. HASTINGS) that the 

House suspend the rules and pass the 

bill, H.R. 6168. 

The question was taken. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the 

opinion of the Chair, two-thirds being 

in the affirmative, the ayes have it. 

Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. 

Speaker, on that I demand the yeas 

and nays. 

The yeas and nays were ordered. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question will be postponed.

IN THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE

Accordingly, the House resolved 

itself into the Committee of the Whole 

House on the state of the Union for the 

further consideration of the bill (H.R. 

6082) to officially replace, within the 

60-day Congressional review period 

under the Outer Continental Shelf 

Lands Act, President Obama’s Proposed Final Outer Continental Shelf 

Oil & Gas Leasing Program (2012–2017) 

with a congressional plan that will 

conduct additional oil and natural gas 

lease sales to promote offshore energy 

development, job creation, and increased domestic energy production to 

ensure a more secure energy future in 

the United States, and for other purposes, with Mrs. EMERSON (Acting 

Chair) in the chair. 

The Clerk read the title of the bill. 

The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Tuesday,

H5222 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE July 25, 2012 

The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, 

the Committee rises. 

Accordingly, the Committee rose; 

and the Speaker pro tempore (Mrs. 

MILLER of Michigan) having assumed 

the chair, Mrs. EMERSON, Acting Chair 

of the Committee of the Whole House 

on the state of the Union, reported that 

that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 6082) to officially replace, within the 60-day Congressional review period under the 

Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, 

President Obama’s Proposed Final 

Outer Continental Shelf Oil & Gas 

Leasing Program (2012–2017) with a congressional plan that will conduct additional oil and natural gas lease sales to 

promote offshore energy development, 

job creation, and increased domestic 

energy production to ensure a more secure energy future in the United 

States, and for other purposes, and, 

pursuant to House Resolution 738, she 

reported the bill back to the House 

with an amendment 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 

amendment to the amendment reported from the Committee of the 

Whole? 

If not, the question is on the amendment in the nature of a substitute, as 

amended. 

The amendment was 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. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, I 

have a motion to recommit at the 

desk. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the 

gentlewoman opposed to the bill? 

Ms. SLAUGHTER. In its present 

form, I am. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

Clerk will report the motion to recommit. 

The Clerk read as follows: 

Ms. Slaughter moves to recommit the bill 

H.R. 6082 to the Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report the same 

back to the House forthwith with the following amendment: 

Add at the end the following: 

SEC. ll. PROHIBITION ON ISSUANCE OF LEASES 

WITH RESPECT TO IRAN AND SYRIA. 

No lease may be issued under this Act to 

any person (including any successor, assign, 

affiliate, member, or joint venturer with an 

ownership interest in any property or project 

any portion of which is owned by such person) that is in violation of— 

(1) the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 (50 U.S.C. 

1701 note) or the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 

2010 (22 U.S.C. 8501 et seq.); or 

(2) the Syria Accountability and Lebanese 

Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 (22 

U.S.C. 2151 note). 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized 

for 5 minutes. 

Ms. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, I 

rise to introduce a final amendment to 

today’s bill. 

The amendment is simple in its wording but powerful in its purpose. My 

amendment simply states that no company that violates the Iran Sanctions 

Act or the Syria Accountability Act 

will be allowed to profit from the oil 

leases in today’s bill. The amendment 

will help to ensure that no company 

that helps to prop up these oppressive 

and destabilizing regimes can benefit 

from today’s legislation. 

Currently, the United States Government is imposing sanctions on 13 companies who maintain essential business 

dealings with Iran. In addition, the 

threat of sanctions is hanging over 

other companies that continue to do 

business there. In total, more than 16 

oil companies remain ‘‘active’’ in Iran. 

These companies are defying the international community and helping to 

empower an Iranian regime that exports terrorism around the world, 

seeks nuclear weapons capability, and 

threatens the security of the entire 

Middle East—especially our ally and 

friend, Israel. 

With the threat from Iran continuing 

to grow, it is vital that Congress respond with prudent and effective action. My amendment will help to isolate Iran, promote stability in the Middle East, and protect Israel. 

With regard to Syria, existing sanctions are already helping increase the 

pressure on the murderous regime of 

President Assad. Thanks to the sanctions, Syrian oil production had 

dropped by 60,000 barrels per day by 

2011 as companies cut ties with the 

government and exited the country. 

Despite this pressure, more action is 

needed, and my amendment will be a 

responsible next step to ensure that 

nothing in this bill will empower President Assad’s continued war against the 

Syrian people. 

Madam Speaker, for the last 2 years, 

we have put the needs of special interests, especially Big Oil, before the 

needs of our country, our people, and 

our allies. Over the last 2 years, the 

majority has voted more than 140 times 

to benefit Big Oil, and today should not 

be another one. Instead of passing the 

bill to create jobs, we’ve proposed yet 

another bill to serve Big Oil interests. 

If we’re going to move forward with 

such a giveaway, it is vital that they 

ensure that no profit derived from today’s legislation goes to prop up nations who would harm our national security interests or those of our ally, 

Israel. It is up to this Congress on both 

sides of this aisle: Will we sacrifice the 

interests of Israel and the Syrian people by passing legislation that could 

benefit two of the most oppressive and 

destabilizing regimes in the world, or 

are we going to stand with our friend 

and ally, Israel, and protect the people 

of Syria? 

With both the Iranian and Syrian regimes threatening our allies and thousands of innocent people in the Middle 

East, I believe it’s high time the 

United States Congress moves to further protect Israel and the people of 

Syria. 

Once again, if my amendment is 

adopted, the House will proceed to final 

passage of the bill. I urge all of my colleagues to support this important 

amendment today—and it is an important amendment—and put our national 

interests before the wishes of Big Oil. 

I yield back the balance of my time. 

Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. 

Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to 

the motion to recommit. 

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

Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. 

Madam Speaker, this is not a foreign 

policy bill. This is a bill about American jobs and American energy. And 

these subjects that are brought up in 

this motion to recommit are covered in 

other areas, as they should be. For example, the Iranian issue is covered in 

standalone bills, as it properly should 

be. But this continues to be an attempt 

of the other side to change the subject 

away from American energy and American jobs. 

The President is talking about American energy, and I have said on a number of occasions that the President 

likes to give speeches, but virtually 

every time when he does on offshore 

energy, his actions are 180 degrees from 

his rhetoric. So this bill that we have 

under consideration today, H.R. 6082, 

challenges the President to live up to 

his rhetoric. 

In his speeches, the President says, 

‘‘Yes, we can,’’ ‘‘hope and change,’’ 

‘‘move forward,’’ ‘‘believe in America.’’ 

Well, to those who say that the House 

and the Senate should not act on a 60- 

day review of the President’s plan, I 

say, ‘‘Yes, we can.’’ 

b 1420 

Let’s just not hope for better, let’s 

move the country forward. Let’s 

change President Obama’s plan to a 

real pro-energy, pro-jobs offshore plan 

that truly believes in America. Oppose 

this motion to recommit, vote for the 

bill, and vote against the suspension. 

I yield back the balance of my time. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without 

objection, the previous question is ordered. 

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. SLAUGHTER. Madam Speaker, 

on that I demand the yeas and nays. 

The yeas and nays were ordered. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 and clause 9 of rule XX, 

this 15-minute vote on the motion to 

recommit will be followed by 5-minute 

votes on passage of H.R. 6082, if ordered; and suspension of the rules and 

passage of H.R. 6168 and H.R. 459. 

The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were—yeas 179, nays 

240, not voting 12, as follows:
