Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2187) to
direct the Secretary of Education to make grants to State educational
agencies for the modernization, renovation, or repair of public school
facilities, and for other purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 427,
she reported the bill back to the House with an amendment adopted by
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.
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
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I offer a motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. I am.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania moves to recommit the bill,
H.R. 2187, to the Committee on Education and Labor with
instructions to report the bill back to the House forthwith
with the following amendment:
In section 311, add at the end the following:
(c) Limitation.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b)
and any other provision of this Act, for any fiscal year for
which funds are authorized to be appropriated under this Act
that immediately follows a fiscal year in which the Federal
Government has a deficit in excess of $500,000,000,000, the
amount authorized to be appropriated under this Act shall be
$0.
(2) Definition.--For the purpose of this subsection, the
term ``deficit'' means a fiscal year during which outlays of
the Federal Government exceed receipts of the Federal
Government.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
We all know our Nation is drowning in a sea of red ink, but earlier
this week we learned that the sea is even deeper than we knew. On
Monday we learned that this year's deficit is now projected to be $1.84
trillion, about $90 billion higher than we were told in February. And
what's the majority's answer to record-setting deficit spending? Of
course it's more spending.
The bill we're debating today would add an estimated $40 billion in
new spending. And despite the majority's hollow promises of fiscal
responsibility, there's nothing in the legislation to offset this hefty
price tag with spending reductions elsewhere. This is just more of the
same borrow and spend, spend and borrow policy that we've seen under
this majority and this administration.
This motion to recommit is a small but meaningful step to reverse
that trend. It allows this bill to take effect exactly as the majority
has drafted it as long as the Federal deficit is below $500 billion.
We're not cutting the bill. We're not damaging the schools. We're not
doing any of the other things that the majority would surely accuse us
of. We're keeping this bill exactly as it is now. The only difference
is that when our Nation's deficit exceeds $500 billion, we will not
authorize the funding for this particular new program.
Half a trillion dollars is an awfully high bar. In fact, the entire
time George W. Bush was President--in fact, the entire history of our
great Nation, our deficit has never exceeded $500 billion, that is
until this year in which we're facing a deficit of $1.84 trillion.
I urge Members to vote yes on this motion to recommit and send a
signal to the American people that we're serious about taming the
deficit.
Maybe one day the Federal Government will be able to afford $40
billion to tell schools how to maintain their facilities, but that day
is not today.
This motion to recommit ensures that this new program will wait until
we can afford it, until the American people can afford it.
Before I close, I'd like to point out that the Obama administration
may feel the same way. The administration did not issue a statement of
administration policy on H.R. 2187. That's a deliberate decision not to
endorse the bill, and that is conspicuous. I can't help but wonder if
President Obama agrees that now is simply the wrong time to swipe a $40
billion charge on the government charge card and send the bill to our
children and our grandchildren.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on the motion to recommit.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition
to the motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Madam Speaker and Members of the
House, this legislation last year had bipartisan support as it passed
this House overwhelmingly. Why did it have that support? Because this
legislation
[[Page H5592]]
enabled the Federal Government to partner with local school districts
who were looking to repair and to restore and renovate their schools to
make them more energy efficient so that those local school districts
could save on the average $100,000 in energy bills by making these
changes.
We know that the economy has made it more difficult for those local
school districts to be able to repair and renovate and restore those
schools that are in such bad need of that kind of work. So we offer the
hand of the Federal Government as a partner with those districts based
upon those local priorities, some of which have been waiting for
several years. That partnership is critical to the survivability of
these districts in meeting their energy needs as we go forward.
So what do we have here? We have an attempt to kill this amendment
based upon a deficit from a party that gave us and left office with $1
trillion in deficits, when they entered office with $5 trillion in
surplus.
They want to tell us how to manage the books and not take care of
local schools, not have school construction, not have local jobs in our
community because they ran up the deficit. The all-time world champions
of deficits now want to suggest to you that you should put your schools
at the end of the line of the deficit that they created.
Yes, we have a budget. We have a budget that takes down the deficit,
that takes down the deficit to what it was in the Reagan years. You
know, we've been through this before. We went through this where the
Republicans run up the deficit on the theory that they starve the
beast, and then none of the things that we believe in can go into
effect.
We're not going to let this happen on this bill. It's most important
that we understand that, that this is about this party trying to stop
what is an agenda that has bipartisan support in the House, in the
Senate, at the local levels to try to improve the learning
opportunities for so many of our students.
I would like to yield to the gentleman from New Jersey.
Mr. ANDREWS. Ladies and gentlemen, this amendment is 8 years too
late. If the minority wants to be sure there's a trigger before you can
do something, where was the trigger before they enacted the reckless
tax cuts for the wealthiest people in this country? Where was the
trigger before they enacted the disastrous Medicare part D program and
plunged us further in deficit? And where was the trigger before they
poured over $1 trillion into a mismanaged war in Iraq? This amendment
is 8 years too late. Vote it down.
Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. This decision is simple. The
American public made a decision. They want us to go in a new direction.
They want us to improve our education systems, our health care systems,
and our energy systems.
The party on the other side is not interested in that. They don't
have those solutions on the table. They haven't presented those
solutions on the table. But what they want to do is infringe on the
ability of this President and this country to move forward in a new
direction. We cannot let that happen. They didn't do it.
This is a party that is now holding weekend talk sessions about how
they lost their way. Yeah, they lost their way on fiscal
irresponsibility for 8 years, and now they want the school children of
this Nation to pay the bills.
I ask for a ``no'' vote on the motion to recommit.
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. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas, Ms. SPEIER, Messrs. DeFAZIO and
RANGEL, and Ms. MARKEY of Colorado changed their vote from ``aye'' to
``no.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I regret missing rollcall vote
No. 260 today on the dilatory motion offered by the Minority to change
the title of H.R. 2187. I was necessarily detained in important
meetings and receiving briefings on the FY 2009 supplemental to prepare
for the very serious vote on that legislation scheduled for later
today.
Simply looking at the motion offered by the Minority, it is clear at
face value that it was not a serious legislative effort to improve the
Green Schools bill's focus on helping rebuild our nation's schools but
was instead a dilatory tactic and a childish effort meant simply to
embarrass and delay. We are not children and this is not a game. If I
had been present, I would have voted ``no.''
