ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE

The SPEAKER pro tempore (during 

the vote). There are 2 minutes remaining. 

b 1620 

Mr. BUTTERFIELD changed his vote 

from ‘‘aye’’ to ‘‘no.’’ 

So the bill was passed. 

The result of the vote was announced 

as above recorded. 

A motion to reconsider was laid on 

the table. 

Stated for: 

Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 

552 for final passage of H.R. 6169, I am not 

recorded because I was unavoidably detained. 

Had I been present, I would have voted ‘‘aye.’’ 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 10 of House Resolution 

747, H.R. 6169 is laid on the table. 

f 

AGRICULTURAL DISASTER 

ASSISTANCE ACT OF 2012 

GENERAL LEAVE

Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, I ask 

unanimous consent that all Members 

may have 5 legislative days to revise 

and extend their remarks and include 

extraneous material on H.R. 6233. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentleman from Georgia? 

There was no objection. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 

consideration of the bill (H.R. 6233) to 

make supplemental agricultural disaster assistance available for fiscal 

year 2012 with the costs of such assistance offset by changes to certain conservation programs, and for other purposes, will now resume. 

The Clerk read the title of the bill. 

MOTION TO RECOMMIT

Mr. COSTA. Mr. Speaker, I have a 

motion to recommit at the desk. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. 

DENHAM). Is the gentleman opposed to 

the bill? 

Mr. COSTA. I am opposed to this legislation in its current form. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The 

Clerk will report the motion to recommit. 

The Clerk read as follows: 

Mr. Costa moves to recommit the bill H.R. 

6233 to the Committee on Agriculture with 

instructions to report the same back to the 

House forthwith with the following amendments: 

Page 1, beginning line 3, strike section 1 

and insert the following new section: 

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS, AND SENSE 

OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as 

the ‘‘Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 

2012’’. 

(b) FINDINGS.—The House of Representatives makes the following findings: 

(1) Family farms and livestock producers 

are suffering from the worst drought facing 

the United States since the 1950s, and this 

drought affects almost every State. 

(2) This Act does not help pork or poultry 

producers and provides only limited assistance for dairy producers. 

(3) Many producers of fruits and vegetables 

may not have crop insurance available to 


smartinez on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with HOUSE
H5682 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE August 2, 2012 

them as a risk management tool, and they 

too need some type of help, which this Act 

does not provide. 

(4) Most of the disaster-related provisions 

of the widely popular Food, Conservation, 

and Energy Act of 2008 (the current farm bill, 

Public Law 110–246) have expired. 

(c) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—In light of the 

findings expressed in subsection (b), it is the 

sense of the House of Representatives that a 

five-year farm-safety net will provide greater certainty and stability for America’s farm 

families than legislation extending farm policy for only one year or authorizing shortterm disaster assistance. 

Page 20, after line 12, insert the following 

new paragraph: 

(5) FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.—Section 1001C 

of the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 

1308–3) or any successor provisions shall 

apply with respect to assistance provided 

under this section. 

Page 21, after line 19, insert the following 

new subsection: 

(j) NO DUPLICATIVE PAYMENTS.—In implementing any other program which makes 

disaster assistance payments (except for indemnities made under subtitle A of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) 

and section 196 of the Federal Agriculture 

Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 

U.S.C. 7333)), the Secretary shall prevent duplicative payments with respect to the same 

loss for which a person receives a payment 

under subsections (b), (c), (d), or (e). 

Mr. COSTA (during the reading). Mr. 

Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to 

dispense with the reading. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there 

objection to the request of the gentleman from California? 

Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Speaker, I object at 

the present time. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. 

The Clerk will read. 

The Clerk continued to read. 

Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Speaker, I reserve a 

point of order. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore. A point 

of order is reserved. 

Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman 

from California (Mr. COSTA) is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his 

motion. 

Mr. COSTA. This is the final amendment to the bill. It will not kill the bill 

or send it back to committee. I repeat—it will not kill the bill nor will it 

send it back to committee. If adopted, 

however, the bill will immediately be 

amended and proceed under final passage. 

In the Republicans’ rush to legislate, 

they have missed some important 

pieces that the motion to recommit 

would address. 

First, the bill, H.R. 6233, the Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 2012, 

allows disaster payments to go to corporations incorporated under State 

law, but there is nothing in the bill to 

prevent these corporations from being 

wholly-owned subsidiaries of foreign 

corporations. 

Under current law, for much of the 

farm safety net, foreign corporations— 

defined under current law as to where 

more than 10 percent of the beneficial 

ownership is held by a non-U.S. citizen—cannot receive farm payments. 

This bill fails to do that. 

The farm bill we passed in committee 

addressed the current law. It passed by 

a bipartisan vote of 35–11. It includes 

the same provisions that are in this 

disaster package. It also ensures that 

payments do not go to foreign corporations. 

This motion to recommit fixes that. 

Additionally, under current law, 

there is a provision to prevent duplicative payments from being made to producers under disaster programs, in 

other words, double-dipping. This provision was included to prevent producers from collecting payments from 

multiple programs for the same disaster. We want to treat those people 

fairly under this disaster, but we don’t 

want people receiving double-dipping 

payments. 

Again, in the Republicans’ rush to 

legislate, the provision that ensures 

against duplicative payments and double-dipping somehow missed the boat. 

This motion to recommit fixes that 

oversight as well. 

Finally and more importantly, the 

motion to recommit also gives every 

Member here an opportunity to take a 

position on what ironically, I think, 

could be called the elephant in the 

room, and that is whether or not the 

House is going to consider a 5-year 

farm bill to provide certainty and security to rural America and its agriculture economy. 

The motion to recommit expresses 

the sense of the House that a 5-year 

farm safety net is far better for certainty and security for farmers and 

farm families than this bill or even a 

short-term extension is. After all, the 

farm bill is traditionally one of the 

most bipartisan things we do around 

here. 

In a statement regarding the underlying bill, a broad-based coalition of 

farm organizations said that they 

would: 

support finding a path forward to reaching 

an agreement on a new 5-year farm bill before current program authorities expire on 

September 30. 

They go on to say: 

We are disappointed that the House Republican leadership has decided to not move forward with the House Agriculture Committee’s bill before adjourning for the August 

recess. The bill would provide the disaster 

relief for our farm and ranch families needed 

at this time. 

Those organizations among them are 

the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Corn Growers Association, the National Farmers Union, 

the National Milk Producers Federation, the United Fresh Produce Association, and Western Growers, to mention but a few. 

b 1630 

Members, we have a chance to take a 

stand. Are you for regular order, or for 

political messaging? Are you for doing 

our work, or kicking the can down the 

road? Should we take up a comprehensive farm bill before September 30, or 

add this to the growing list of unfinished business to be considered in a 

lame duck session? I hope not. 

All in all, the motion to recommit 

makes important fixes in the underlying bill, making it consistent with 

current law regarding the treatment of 

foreign corporations and protections 

against duplicative payments, otherwise known as double-dipping. It puts 

the House on record that we need to 

consider a 5-year farm bill before the 

current one expires on September 30. I 

urge my colleagues to support the motion to recommit. 

Traditionally, the farm bill is one of 

the most bipartisan pieces of legislation that we act on. The bipartisan 

support was in the Senate and the bipartisan support was in the House Agriculture Committee by a vote of 35–11. 

We have a crisis, and we ought to properly respond. 

With that, I yield back the balance of 

my time. 

Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw 

my reservation, and rise in opposition. 

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. 

DENHAM). The reservation is withdrawn. 

The gentleman from Oklahoma is 

recognized for 5 minutes. 

Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Speaker, I think everyone in this room knows that I and 

my colleague, the ranking member, 

Mr. PETERSON, and all members of the 

Agriculture Committee, have worked 

very aggressively to try to move the 

process forward to craft a comprehensive 5-year farm bill, a farm bill that 

addresses all commodity groups, addresses all regions, meets the needs of 

all of our producers so we can, as farmers and ranchers, meet the needs of the 

great American consumer. 

One of the key points in the motion 

to recommit before us addresses the 

question of doing a 5-year farm bill. 

That’s a sense of Congress. I happen to 

think that that already is the sense of 

Congress. I would suggest to all of you 

that if you want, as badly as I want, a 

comprehensive 5-year farm bill, then 

the process here is to take these 

points—they may be valid—but to take 

these points and bear them in mind. Go 

home and see your constituents for the 

next 5 weeks. Go home and discuss the 

drought in that 65 percent of the 

United States that’s suffering. Go 

home and explain to them why, from 

the livestock producers’ perspective, 

there’s no assistance in a bill that was 

promised when it was put together in 

’08, or they thought they would have 

access to. 

Go home and explain that, and build 

the momentum to come back here and 

do the farm bill. Then in regular order, 

on the floor—I know it’s kind of a 

strange concept—we’ll debate these 

and many more amendments, and we’ll 

make refinements to what the committee has done. But right now, let’s 

reject this motion, and let’s go home 

and prepare for a farm bill debate when 

we come back. Most importantly, let’s 

just go home. 

With that, I yield back the balance of 

my time.

FURTHER MESSAGE FROM THE 

SENATE 

A further 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. 5986. An act to amend the African 

Growth and Opportunity Act to extend the 

third-country fabric program and to add 

South Sudan to the list of countries eligible 

for designation under that Act, to make 

technical corrections to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States relating to 

the textile and apparel rules of origin for the 

Dominican Republic-Central America-United 

States Free Trade Agreement, to approve the 

renewal of import restrictions contained in 

the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 

2003, and for other purposes. 

The message also announced that the 

Senate has passed a bill and concurrent 

resolution of the following titles in 

which the concurrence of the House is 

requested: 

S. 3510. An act 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. 

S. Con. Res. 56. Concurrent resolution providing for conditional adjournment or recess 

of the Senate and an adjournment of the 

House of Representatives. 

f 

LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM 

(Mr. HOYER asked and was given 

permission to address the House for 1 

minute.) 

Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I understand the adjournment resolution has 

arrived from the Senate, and I just 

want to advise not only my Members 

but all Members that there will be a 

vote following the next vote, which was 

scheduled to be the last vote, but because the adjournment resolution is 

now here, I want to advise my Members 

and obviously other Members as well. 

I’ve talked to Mr. CANTOR, the leader, 

who has been helpful on this effort as 

well, that there will be another vote 

following this vote.

127) expressing the sense of Congress 

regarding actions to preserve and advance the multistakeholder governance 

model under which the Internet has 

thrived, on which the yeas and nays 

were ordered. 

The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution.

question is on the motion offered by 

the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. WALDEN) that the House suspend the rules
