b 1724 

Messrs. CANSECO, TURNER, and 

GOSAR changed their vote from ‘‘aye’’ 

to ‘‘no.’’ 

So the concurrent resolution was not 

concurred in. 

The result of the vote was announced 

as above recorded. 

A motion to reconsider was laid on 

the table.

STOCK ACT AMENDMENTS 

Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 

consent to take from the Speaker’s 

table the bill (S. 3510) to prevent harm 

to the national security or endangering 

the military officers and civilian employees to whom internet publication 

of certain information applies, and for 

other purposes, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House. 

The Clerk read the title of the bill. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. 

JOHNSON of Ohio). Is there objection to 

the request of the gentleman from 

California? 

There was no objection. 

The text of the bill is as follows: 

S. 3510 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in 

Congress assembled, 

SECTION 1. EFFECTIVE DATE DELAY. 

The STOCK Act (Public Law 112–105) is 

amended— 

(1) in section 8(a)(1), by striking ‘‘August 

31, 2012’’ and inserting ‘‘September 30, 2012’’; 

and 

(2) in section 11(a)(1), by striking ‘‘August 

31, 2012’’ and inserting ‘‘September 30, 2012’’. 

SEC. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF PTR REQUIREMENTS UNDER STOCK ACT. 

Effective September 30, 2012, for purposes 

of implementing subsection (l) of section 103 

of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (as 

added by section 6 of the STOCK Act, Public 

Law 112–105) for reporting individuals whose 

reports under section 101 of such Act (5 

U.S.C. App. 101) are required to be filed with 

the Clerk of the House of Representatives, 

section 102(e) of such Act (5 U.S.C. App. 

102(e)) shall apply as if the report under such 

subsection (l) were a report under such section 101 but only with respect to the transaction information required under such subsection (l). 

The bill was ordered to be read a 

third time, was read the third time, 

and passed, and a motion to reconsider 

was laid on the table. 

f 

WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE 

WANT 

(Ms. PELOSI asked and was given 

permission to address the House for 1 

minute.) 

Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, this Republican majority is prepared to adjourn the House of Representatives to 

leave for the August district work period without accomplishing what the 

American people have sent us here to 

do. They want us to create jobs. They 

want us to reduce the deficit, and they 

want us to give a middle-income tax 

cut, which the President has suggested 

and the American people overwhelmingly support. 

Instead, we have no jobs agenda, no 

tax cuts for the middle class, no farm 

bill, no Violence Against Women Act, 

no cybersecurity strategy, no balanced, 

bipartisan plan to prevent the sequester. 

The only thing the Republicans have 

done is to increase the uncertainty 

that threatens another debt crisis and 

undermines our economic growth. Now 

they want to head out of town to campaign, when Congress should stay in 

session to address the most pressing 

challenges facing our Nation: job creation, growth in our economy, and 

strengthening the middle class. 

Mr. Speaker, Democrats want us to 

get our job done. When we go home to 

meet with our constituents, we want to 

say what we have accomplished and 

what results we can bring that have 

been worked out in a fair, bipartisan, 

balanced way. 

In spite of this, the Republican obstruction at every turn is preventing 

that. 

Let’s get to work. Let’s do the job 

our constituents elected us to do: to 

create jobs with them and to relieve 

the uncertainty in their lives. 

f 

b 1730 

HOUR OF MEETING ON TOMORROW 

Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 

consent that when the House adjourns 

today, it adjourn to meet at 10 a.m. tomorrow. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentleman from California? 

There was no objection. 

f 

JULY IN REVIEW 

(Mr. HOYER asked and was given 

permission to address the House for 1 

minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) 

Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, we are now 

at some point in time going to conclude 4 weeks in session with little to 

show for it. 

Over the past month, the Republican 

do-nothing Congress has continued its 

relentless pursuit of message over substance. Not only have they failed to address job creation or deficit reduction 

in any serious way, they have also refused to work with us to pass bills that 

the Senate approved with bipartisan 

support: Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act—critically important to women and to families; postal 

reform—absolutely essential; a farm 

bill. 

Their approach has been confrontation, unfortunately, not compromise. 

As a result, House Republicans have 

been unable to govern. 

This week, in the most brazen abandonment of responsibility we’ve seen 

yet, Republicans chose to adjourn for 

the summer, which we prevented, without a middle class tax cut extension 

signed into law. 

We ought not to adjourn, ladies and 

gentlemen of this House, until we pass 

a middle class tax cut. 

f 

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY 

Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, I have 

a parliamentary inquiry. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas will state his inquiry. 

Mr. GOHMERT. Isn’t this the point 

at which Speaker PELOSI 4 years ago 

turned off the lights and microphones 

and wouldn’t let us make speeches? I’m 

just curious. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not stated a parliamentary 

inquiry. 

f 

SECURING ONLINE PRIVACY 

(Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and 

was given permission to address the 

House for 1 minute.) 

Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. I’ve got a 

cell phone somewhere around here. 

Here it is. I’m going to ask: 

Is this a tracking device or is there 

somebody in this device who is taking 

my photographs? my videos? my treasured personal stuff like that—my address book? 

What is this? 

It is something that we need to be 

smart about. Smart government policies should ensure our data isn’t improperly collected, sold, and exploited; 

but what we’ve learned from SOPA is 

that we tried to shove legislation down 

the public’s throat, and we failed. We 

learned we’d better consult the folks 

who use the Internet before we regulate it. 

That’s why, last week, I launched 

AppRights.us. Using the Web and social 

media, we are asking what smart policy looks like before we write a bill. We 

are using the Internet to make sure we 

don’t break the Internet. 

Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues and the public to visit 

AppRights.us and to send their 

thoughts and concerns. Tell Congress 

how we can do a better job of securing 

your privacy.
