b 0051 So the amendment was agreed to. The result of the vote was announced

as above recorded. AMENDMENT NO. 48 OFFERED BY MR. JEFFRIES The Acting CHAIR (Ms. PLASKETT).

It is now in order to consider amend-ment No. 48 printed in part B of House Report 116–109.

Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.

The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.

The text of the amendment is as fol-lows:

At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following:

SEC. ll. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used in contravention of section 203 of the Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3413).

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from New York (Mr. JEFFRIES) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.

Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chairwoman, let me first just thank the distin-guished gentlewoman from Con-necticut, the chair of the sub-committee, for her tremendous work in connection with this bill.

The mission of the Office for Civil Rights is to ensure access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the Nation through vig-orous enforcement of civil rights. How-ever, this administration and Sec-retary DeVos have methodically worked to limit the effectiveness of the Office for Civil Rights at the Depart-ment of Education.

This amendment would prohibit any funds in the underlying measure to be used to thwart the important work that is done by the Office for Civil Rights. This administration has gone out of its way to hurt students of color and undermine diversity in a variety of ways. They have eliminated guidance, encouraging schools to endeavor to-wards diversity in admissions, and they have rescinded guidance issued by the previous administration directing schools to reduce racial disparities in how they discipline students.

Frederick Douglass said: ‘‘It is easier to build strong children than it is to repair broken men.’’

Excellence in academic and edu-cational preparation is an important part of the American Dream, and every single child in this country, regardless of race, regardless of gender, and re-gardless of religion should have access to the highest quality education. That is the mission of the Department of Education and the role of the Office for Civil Rights within that department.

By prohibiting the use of funds in the underlying measure from being used to limit the functions of the Office for Civil Rights, we are taking a necessary step toward ensuring that in this coun-try, the pursuit of excellence in edu-cation will be available to every single child.

I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), the distinguished chair of the subcommittee.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

I rise in support of this amendment and the Department of Education Of-fice for Civil Rights. The legacy of ac-cess to education in America is inter-twined with the legacy of civil rights in this country. Education remains a civil rights issue today.

The Office for Civil Rights has as its mission, ‘‘ . . . to ensure equal access to education and to promote edu-cational excellence through vigorous enforcement,’’ and I underscore, ‘‘vig-orous enforcement of civil rights in our Nation’s schools.’’

b 0100 There are strong concerns, very

strong concerns, that this Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is not upholding this mission. This amendment would ensure that the crit-ical mission of OCR is not undermined and that equal access and treatment is present throughout our Nation’s schools. I support my colleague’s amendment.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition.

The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 min-utes.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentle-woman from Massachusetts (Ms. PRESSLEY).

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4605 June 12, 2019 Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I rise

today in support of this amendment and applaud my friend and colleague, Representative JEFFRIES, for his lead-ership in the fight against this cal-loused administration and its efforts to roll back critical civil rights protec-tions for millions of students across this country.

Under Secretary DeVos’ failed leader-ship, OCR has scuttled more than 1,200 civil rights complaints, hastily dis-missing cases, closing investigations, and depriving students and families of justice.

At the same time, the Education De-partment has taken one action after another to make schools less safe for Black and Brown students, queer and trans students, students with disabil-ities, and sexual assault survivors.

The Department has rescinded crit-ical Obama-era guidance intended to protect students from excessive dis-ciplinary practices that disproportion-ately push out Black and Brown stu-dents and students with disabilities and exacerbate the school-to-prison pipeline.

The agency has proposed rules that would make it harder for survivors of sexual violence to seek justice and easier for K–12 schools and universities to sweep these cases under the rug.

Instead of ensuring that all students have access to quality education, she embraces and promotes private schools and voucher schemes that would funnel Federal funds to schools that explicitly discriminate against LGBTQ students, all while defanging the very office in-tended to enforce the law and do right by students and families.

Our amendment would block Sec-retary DeVos’ efforts to dismantle this office. We finally say enough is enough.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I am not sure what this amendment does be-cause it just says that you can’t change the Office of Civil Rights in contravention of the statute that set up the Department. There is no change in the Office of Civil Rights.

The bottom line is that the Depart-ment of Education enforces civil rights laws. Yes, there was misguided guid-ance by the last administration that actually decreased discipline in the schools in my district because the teachers in my district and the admin-istrators in my district were scared that they would lose Federal funds if they disciplined students because they had to do paperwork, and there were reports, and the Department of Edu-cation was going to come down on them. Discipline suffered.

The bottom line is that the record of this administration on minorities is clear: the lowest unemployment in his-tory for African Americans in the country and the lowest unemployment in history for Hispanics in this coun-try.

The record of this administration in dealing with minorities is clear. It has provided economic opportunity for tens of millions of minorities in this coun-

try. The Office of Civil Rights works in the Department of Education, and I op-pose the amendment.

Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Chair, the Brown v. Board of Education decision was a historic and important step and a strong step in the right direction. We have come a long way in this country, but we still have a long way to go as it relates to providing equal access to education.

This amendment is pretty simple. It says to the Secretary: Keep your hands off the Office of Civil Rights.

Madam Chair, I yield back the bal-ance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, we have heard the debate. I don’t know if vouchers are brought into this debate.

It is interesting because, with vouch-ers like the OSP program in the Dis-trict of Columbia, 97 percent of the stu-dents are minorities. That is a voucher program, and 97 percent are minorities supported by the administration. The majority just yesterday rejected an in-crease in funding to that program that benefits 97 percent that are minorities.

Let’s get civil rights straight. If my colleagues support opportunity and education for minorities in this coun-try, that is what the administration is doing.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from New York (Mr. JEFFRIES).

The question was taken; and the Act-ing Chair announced that the ayes ap-peared to have it.

Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 49 OFFERED BY MR. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY OF NEW YORK

The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 49 printed in part B of House Report 116–109.

Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 52, line 16, insert after the first dollar amount the following: ‘‘(reduced by $5,000,000) (increased by $5,000,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from New York (Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.

Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I rise today on the anniversary of a day 3 years ago when we were mourning a terrible loss because of a gun massacre in Florida that affected my community in par-ticular.

I rise to offer an amendment to the Department of Labor, HHS, and Edu-cation Appropriations Act that will set aside $5 million of funding for gun vio-lence research in our schools. This bill rightfully includes $25 million for gun violence research funding at the Cen-ters for Disease Control. This funding is critical when 100 Americans die every day because of gun violence.

Ninety-four schools across our coun-try had shooting incidents last year. That is the largest number of school shootings in a single year since 1970.

The other side has held gun violence research hostage for more than two decades by refusing to appropriate dedicated funds for gun violence re-search—just research. Now that we are finally able to look into this public health crisis, we need to address it head-on.

As a Representative and as a dad who sends his kids to public school every day and whose worst nightmare is that someone will use a gun to hurt them or their friends, I am asking that we take action to stop school shootings now. The lives and safety of our kids are at risk, all of our kids, and we have al-most no data on what is happening.

This funding will treat gun violence in our schools just like we treat any other public health crisis and finally give the CDC the funding it desperately needs to help us find answers on how to address these ongoing acts of violence.

As we know, quality data can lead to breakthrough solutions. Investing in research on car accidents and the risk of smoking has led to policies that have saved countless lives. We can fi-nally free and empower researchers to study the unique impacts and causes of gun violence in schools, examine the data, and formulate solutions that will save lives, children’s lives.

I urge support of my amendment. Madam Chair, I yield to the gentle-

woman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO) for her remarks.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment that calls for the CDC to specifically study the impact of firearm violence in ele-mentary and secondary schools and higher education institutions.

Earlier this year, our subcommittee held a hearing on gun violence preven-tion research. I might add, it was the first one we have been able to hold in 20 years in this institution, 20 years until we were able to have a hearing on gun violence prevention and research.

We highlighted that gun violence is a public health emergency and that it needs to be responded to with evidence- based interventions. Just as we do for other public health challenges, we must conduct research to know how to best address the impact and which interventions will be most effective.

The underlying bill that we are con-sidering tonight includes $50 million of dedicated funding for firearm injury and mortality research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. This

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4606 June 12, 2019 amendment specifically focuses on the impact of firearm violence on students in our schools and higher education in-stitutions.

Unfortunately, so many communities have students who have been affected by firearm violence. In my own State of Connecticut, we have all been af-fected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, a slaughter of the innocents.

Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.



Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, read the plain language of the amendment. It decreases an amount, and it increases an amount. That is all it does. It doesn’t increase funding for firearm vi-olence.

If the gentleman were so interested in doing more, more research, he could have increased the amount. He didn’t increase the amount.

At 1 o’clock in the morning, we are talking about a do-nothing amendment instead of bringing a supplemental bill to the floor that funds the care of chil-dren at our border that has been re-jected by the majority time and time again.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from New York (Mr. SEAN PAT-RICK MALONEY).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from New York will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 50 OFFERED BY MS. ADAMS The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order

to consider amendment No. 50 printed in part B of House Report 116–109.

Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 134, line 20, after the first dollar amount, insert ‘‘(reduced by $500,000)’’.

Page 130, line 16, after the first dollar amount, insert ‘‘(increased by $500,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. ADAMS) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from North Carolina.

Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I want to first offer my thanks to Chairwoman

DELAURO and our other appropriators for their tireless work on this year’s Labor-HHS bill.

I offer this amendment to recognize the important work of the National Center for College Students with Dis-abilities and to press the Senate to act.

The national center, located in Huntersville, North Carolina, sets as its mission to improve retention and graduation rates of U.S. college stu-dents with disabilities. It accomplishes this through technical assistance and outreach and the dissemination of peer-reviewed research that tries to de-termine the needs of disabled college students, their families, disabled serv-ice providers, and higher education staff and faculty.

Additionally, the center has devel-oped and is constantly updating a pub-lic clearinghouse that contains dis-ability resources at institutions of higher education across the U.S. This allows disabled students to access cru-cial information to intelligently assess their higher education options.

Last but not least, the center empow-ers its students through the dissemina-tion of a weekly newsletter that re-ports current events and news about the disabled in higher education, pro-mulgated by its student group DREAM, or Disability Rights, Education, Activ-ism, and Mentoring.

To sum up, the center has been a god-send for the 20 percent of college stu-dents who have some form of disability since its $2.5 million authorization in 2015, and that expires at the end of this fiscal year.

Madam Chair, this amendment would add $500,000 to the higher education ac-count, which funds the national center. If passed, it will be used in conference with the Senate to justify a new au-thorization.

Without more funding, the center will close in June 2020, wasting 5 years’ worth of taxpayer dollars used to cre-ate groundbreaking research for our disabled students. It would leave thou-sands of higher education staff, fac-ulty, and students without support for the disabled in higher education.

The center has bipartisan support on the Education and Labor Committee, and it is expected to be included in the next Higher Education Act reauthor-ization.

I thank the chair of the Higher Edu-cation and Workforce Development Subcommittee, Representative SUSAN DAVIS, as well as Representatives HUFFMAN, MOULTON, BONAMICI, and LOWENTHAL for cosponsoring this amendment, and I urge the House for its support.

There was no objection. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, this is a

modest request, but it is offset by a re-duction in departmental management funds.

Now, there are a number of amend-ments that do that. Obviously, if we do too many amendments that do that, you will leave nothing for the depart-ment to be properly managed. But this is a modest request, so I believe we should support the amendment.

I yield back the balance of my time. Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield 1

minute to the gentlewoman from Con-necticut (Ms. DELAURO).

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. It draws attention to the importance of the Na-tional Center for College Students with Disabilities.

The center is the only Federally funded national center in the country for college and graduate students with any type of disabilities, chronic health conditions, or mental or emotional ill-ness.

It supports students with disabilities in higher education and provides tech-nical assistance to students, to faculty, and to families.

I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment and am happy to ac-cept it.

Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. ADAMS).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from North Carolina will be postponed.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4607 June 12, 2019 a line item for the Social Services/In-come Maintenance Research program, as well as report language to support Community Resource Centers.

These centers, or CRCs, as they are called, help administer social programs such as Medicaid, WIC, and SNAP. But, unlike other State one-stop shops, CRCs have completely integrated serv-ices, which allow for greater efficiency.

Instead of repeating their story to multiple administrative staff during the screening process, customers can be screened and assessed at one central administrative service area, which pro-vides initial screening and assessment for all programs and services offered in the CRC.

If a customer needs to access mul-tiple county services or partner agen-cies, staff arranges cross-service co-ordination, which allows individuals to assess their eligibility and apply for multiple Federal programs in a quick, efficient manner.

H.R. 2740 will, for the first time, allow the Federal Government to evaluate the viability of CRCs and de-termine whether their expansion can help save taxpayer money and make social services more accessible to ev-eryday Americans.

That is not all that CRCs do. They also partner with local workforce de-velopment boards to connect job seek-ers with employers, putting a dent in our Nation’s skills gap.

If this amendment passes, an addi-tional $3 million will be provided to the Children and Families Services ac-count, which will fund the research into CRCs. We then will work with Senate colleagues to ensure that the funding is used for the purpose of this groundbreaking research.

Madam Chair, Congress should sup-port initiatives that make Federal pro-grams more accessible for Americans and do it in a way that saves taxpayer money.

Community Resource Centers are a perfect example of that, and I applaud H.R. 2740’s recognition of that fact. I urge the House to support my amend-ment, and I reserve the balance of my time.




Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Con-necticut (Ms. DELAURO), our distin-guished subcommittee chair.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise to support my friend’s efforts to dem-onstrate how the centralized Commu-nity Resource Centers can be a cost-ef-fective, one-stop shop for those looking to access and apply for Federal social service programs like SNAP, WIC, and Medicare or for access to services like domestic violence prevention assist-ance.

It is an innovative approach. Part-nerships with local governments allow

citizens to access Federal social serv-ices in a single location, which could reduce burdens to constituents and allow Federal resources to flow in a more cost-effective manner.

I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise hesitatingly to oppose this amend-ment. This is not an inconsequential amount of money. This is $3 million, and it is taken out of the Secretary’s office.

It is not prioritizing and saying, well, this program is more important than this program, so we are going to shift funds from one program to another. It actually strikes at the core of how the Secretary can manage the department.

I just don’t think that is the respon-sible way to do business. If we think this program is important, that is fine. Find another program that is less im-portant. But let’s not just take it from the Secretary’s office because the Sec-retary has to manage a large organiza-tion.

And, again, I know we are in Wash-ington, but $3 million is a lot of money to take out of an office, so I rise in op-position to the amendment, and I re-serve the balance of my time.

Ms. ADAMS. Madam Chair, I respect-fully challenge my colleague and would certainly invite him to go to the Com-munity Resource Center in Mecklen-burg County to see the work that they do every day, to see how they stabilize families and help reduce the need for those seeking social services to travel multiple times to access Federal pro-grams.

The last thing we should be doing is burdening working Americans by in-creasing their costs to receive the help-ing hand that programs like Medicaid and SNAP provide.

Madam Chair, I would just, again, urge support for the amendment, as our most important job as Members of Congress is to make the lives of Ameri-cans better.

The CRCs do that work, and let’s do ours and ensure that they have the re-sources they need to continue that progress.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, this is a good cause. This is a good idea. But, you know, we have $10 billion in unspent CHIP funds sitting in a fund.

So the question is: Why take this from the Secretary’s office? I get it. Some people don’t like the Secretary. Some people don’t like the administra-tion.

But there is $10 billion sitting there that could be spent on programs like this, unspent CHIP funds.

So I have to oppose this amendment because, again, let’s prioritize. This is an important fund. Don’t take it out of the Secretary’s office.

I get it. You don’t like the adminis-tration. You don’t like the Secretary. Don’t take it out of his office.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. ADAMS).


Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, I de-mand a recorded vote.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from North Carolina will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 52 OFFERED BY MR. BEYER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 64, line 18, after the dollar amount, insert ‘‘(reduced by $500,000) (increased by $500,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. BEYER) and a Mem-ber opposed each will control 5 min-utes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.

Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, my amendment would allocate funds for a feasibility study on the adoption of geolocation for the Suicide Lifeline.

Suicide is a leading cause of death across all groups. The Centers for Dis-ease Control recently reported the age- adjusted suicide rate had increased 33 percent from 1999 through 2017. In 2017, the last year for which we have statis-tics, 47,000 Americans took their own life.

The Suicide Lifeline is a one-stop, anonymous, toll-free means for any person in the United States who is in emotional distress, who is thinking about killing themselves, to be con-nected to a trained counselor for as-sistance at anytime, anywhere in the U.S.

The Lifeline routes calls to a net-work of certified local crisis centers. In northern Virginia, it will call some-body in northern Virginia. They can then intervene with support and link them to the resources they need: men-tal health, social services, sometimes police, sometimes emergency rooms.

Last year, 2 million people used the Lifeline, and we are tracking 2.5 mil-lion in 2019.

What is relevant now is that 80 per-cent of callers are using their cellphones, not their land lines. The Lifeline network routes the call based on the area code. If it is a northern Virginia area code, it is going to send it to a northern Virginia call center.

The problem with wireless devices, as we all know, is that people are moving all the time and, often, their cellphone follows them. As I call most of the young people on my staff, I am calling cellphone numbers in Massachusetts, California, Texas, and Maryland.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4608 June 12, 2019 So, what we need is geolocation,

which is what we already use for the 911 calls. Geolocation means that, when they make that call to the sui-cide hotline, it is going to be allocated not based on their area code but based on where the call is actually made from.

When you figure that 25 percent of the callers are determined to be in im-minent risk of suicide, that they are thinking about it right then and now, the counselor needs to be able to en-gage rescue services, police, emergency rooms; and accurate location informa-tion makes all the difference in the world.

This knowledge—this timely, reliable knowledge—really can be the dif-ference between life and death. So, im-plementing geolocation for Lifeline could result in crucial gains for people in distress.

SAMHSA, the Federal agency in charge of mental health, when they re-ported on Representative STEWART’s bill to modernize the Lifeline, reported very positively on geolocation as a piece of that.

So, what we are simply calling for is a study, with money moved from one program to another program, to study this and to make sure that it works.

Suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and ris-ing, so this is a very worthwhile amendment, and we hope that it will save many lives in the years to come.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), the chair of the sub-committee.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the country.

The Lifeline provides this essential service through a national network of over 150 local crisis centers, combining custom local care and resources with national standards and best practices.

To further support these efforts, the bill includes an $8 million increase for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

What this amendment calls for is a feasibility study to be conducted on how we find out where these folks are so that we can help them. When people reach out for help, we must do our best to respond to them in order to be able to reduce suicide attempts.

Suicide is devastating communities across our country with 47,000 deaths in 2017. Depression and other mental health conditions are a significant risk factor for suicide. Less than half of the people who die from suicide have a known mental health condition.

As our bill shows, we are committed to suicide prevention efforts. I support the gentleman’s proposal to study ways to improve these efforts, and I am urg-ing my colleagues to support this amendment.

Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from Virginia (Mr. BEYER).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 53 OFFERED BY MR. BEYER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 77, line 10, after the dollar amount, insert ‘‘(reduced by $500,000) (increased by $500,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. BEYER) and a Mem-ber opposed each will control 5 min-utes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Virginia.

Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, my amendment would require the Office of Refugee Resettlement, ORR, to dis-close to committees of jurisdiction and to legal orientation providers a month-ly census of the unaccompanied chil-dren in their custody, and to do that broken down by gender and by age.

This amendment arose from our per-sonal experience last year when, during the height of the family separation, we couldn’t find out where the kids were being held in Virginia. In fact, when we did find out, we found out from the media, from newspaper reporters and television reporters.

I recognize the need to respect these minors’ privacy, but there has to be an exception for the individuals who are in a position to help them, people on the congressional committees that have the oversight and the legal coun-sel. They have got to know where they are.

This is especially true now that we are learning that ORR is using unli-censed facilities like Homestead and Carizzo Springs.

Increased transparency around the unlicensed facilities is necessary in order for legal advocates to effectively monitor the conditions and to track violations of the Flores settlement.

The legal orientation providers can’t serve these kids if they don’t know where they are. Neither they nor the legal help of the kids nor the leaders in Congress should be learning about the shelters through the media.

The second piece of the amendment is the monthly census broken down by age and gender. Right now, we don’t know whether the kids are 17 years old or a baby or a 17-year-old with a baby.

Now, ORR is under statutory man-date to reunite these kids as quickly as possible, and tracking gender and age will help tell us whether they are doing it or not. We need to know where the kids are and for how long they are there.

Beyond that, that sense of duration, we need a much more accurate count. We don’t want to hear one number from the agencies and a different, per-haps more accurate, number from the media. We just want thoughtful trans-parency. We are dealing with kids.

I have visited a couple of these facili-ties in Virginia. They desperately need our help, and we need to be able to help them, and knowing where they are will really do that.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim time in opposition to the amendment.



Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO).

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the gentleman’s amend-ment.

Oversight of the Unaccompanied Alien Children program has been and will continue to be critical under my watch as chair of this subcommittee.

To be fair, my good friend, Mr. COLE, was also very supportive of our efforts to get reporting requirements in last year’s Labor-HHS appropriations bill and in the end-of-year bill as well.

If there is information that we are missing that we need in order to make better decisions about how this pro-gram is funded, I will work with my friend, Mr. BEYER, to get the best infor-mation we can from ORR.

Congress and this Appropriations Committee will be vigilant in its over-sight role of the Unaccompanied Alien Children program.

And to those who will grandstand about their concern of the fate of these children who are in our custody, I say the following: Where were you? Where were your voices when children were separated from their families at the border?

Not only that, when you take your clothes to the cleaners, you get a claim check. When you check your baggage at an airport, you get a claim check. If you go to a restaurant and leave your coat, you get a claim check.

This administration had no claim check for the children they took away from their families. And to date, there may be youngsters who will never be reunited with their families because of this administration’s policy.

Where were they? Where were you? Crying out in help for these children.

Don’t come forward now and be polit-ical in what you are doing.

We are going to provide humani-tarian assistance, as we have in 2019

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4609 June 12, 2019 and in this budget, $1.8 billion, and moving forward with a supplemental.

You have been silent, silent over these years because where are you now?

I support the gentleman’s amend-ment. I support the gentleman’s amendment.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I have a

parliamentary inquiry. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman

will state his parliamentary inquiry. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, are re-

marks supposed to be directed to the Chair?

The Acting CHAIR. Members are re-minded to address their remarks to the Chair.

Ms. DELAURO. I will direct them to the Chair.

Where were they? I support the gentleman’s amend-

ment. Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, I reserve

the balance of my time. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, Mr. COLE

supports the children. He actually sup-ports funding these programs for the children past this month, something the majority doesn’t. Time after time after time, the majority has refused the funding.

Now, Madam Chair, there is no need for this amendment because, in 1 month, we can’t take care of any chil-dren because the majority has refused, time after time after time, to provide funding to take care of these children. And then, Madam Chair, the majority gets up, Members of the majority get up and claim that they are for the chil-dren.

Sure, we need reporting. But before we need reporting, we actually need funding. We should bring—instead of being here at 1:40 debating a two-line amendment that says just decrease and increase, we ought to be actually de-bating a supplemental bill.

Madam Chair, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. ROY).

Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, it is 1:35 in the morning here on the East Coast.

I represent a district in Texas. Some-where in Texas right now are a host of families and children who have no place to be put, nowhere to be put be-cause we are not doing our job. Those are facts.

All the theater, all the grandstanding that is going to be pointed out here on the floor of the House of Representa-tives, those are the facts.

There is a child today who doesn’t have a place to be put. We can’t just take that child and put him or her someplace magical. We have to have a place to put him or her.

Today, right now, the Reynosa fac-tion of the Gulf Cartel is making hun-dreds of millions of dollars moving peo-ple—not just fentanyl, not just co-caine, not just heroin, although lots of that, too, but moving people.

Right now, somewhere in the United States of America, particularly prob-

ably in Houston or San Antonio, there is a stash house with children in it and people in it being held hostage to pay money back to the cartels.

If you don’t believe it, go talk to the people in the Department of Public Safety in Texas and CBP and ICE in Texas. Talk to them. That is what is actually happening.

And how can we, with a straight face, say that we are the most powerful na-tion in the world and allow that to be happening at our border, while our asy-lum laws are being exploited by cartels for profit, asylum laws which we should have, but where people should go to ports of entry and have a path to come here? Instead, we allow them to be violated by cartels for profit, and cartels have operational control of our border.

I literally cannot comprehend how our colleagues on the other side of the aisle believe it is more appropriate to bury their heads in the sand of this Chamber and ignore this, ignore this problem, this real problem, where 144,000 people were apprehended in May. HHS has taken charge of nearly 41,000 UACs this year—41,000.

In December, 4,700 unaccompanied children were apprehended on the southern border. In May, 11,500 unac-companied alien minor children were apprehended on the southern border. These are the actual numbers. Does that not matter?

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, if I can inquire how much time I have remain-ing.

The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has 45 seconds remain-ing.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield 45 seconds to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. NORMAN).

Mr. NORMAN. Madam Chair, it is— what?—20 till 2. We have got a group here that is willing to stay all night until we address this problem with the supplemental.

You can talk about children, but, just like my good friend from Texas says, go to the border. See these chil-dren who are going, who are being drug back and forth, charged, making money for these adults.

Let’s put the money—we don’t have to just go to Virginia. I feel for these children in Virginia, but I feel for those 144,000 whom they caught, much less the ones that got by.

I further feel for the children who, according to DHS, were saying that they are being carted back and forth, raped. They have rape trees. Go to the border. Where is the compassion for them?

It is high time for us to debate a sup-plemental. And if it takes however long on this clock, we are going to do it, be-cause we are tired of it.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, may I ask how much time I have left.

The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Virginia has 30 seconds remain-ing.

Mr. BEYER. Madam Chair, in 30 quick seconds, I would like to point out there is a difference between appre-hended and offering yourself at the bor-der to Customs and Border Patrol for asylum. There is an enormous dif-ference.

I would also like to point out that there is not a single person on this side of the aisle who doesn’t want to bring this humanitarian aid to the children. We have to be able to find something that the White House will also accept.

I am not in the room when this hap-pens with our distinguished leaders of appropriations, but I know they are working very hard to make that hap-pen.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from Virginia (Mr. BEYER).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Virginia will be postponed.

My amendment serves to underscore the importance of the requested report and to encourage HRSA to not just analyze how these efforts can improve staffing shortages in underserved areas, but how we can increase the number of physicians serving in com-munity health centers located in those areas.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4610 June 12, 2019 Delaware, like many States around

the country, is facing a severe primary care physician shortage. In 2018, there were just 815 primary care physicians in Delaware, down 5.4 percent from 2013.

b 0145

According to HRSA, of the three counties in Delaware, two of them, Kent and Sussex, exceed the 2,000 to 1 primary-doctor-to-patient ratio, which is a benchmark for shortages.

According to a study commissioned by the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, this trend is going to significantly impact the State’s rural, downstate communities.

As HRSA develops recommendations for addressing physician shortages, they should also focus on how we can incentivize primary care physicians, in addition to other physicians experi-encing health staffing shortages, to not just practice in underserved areas, but at community health centers.

Community health centers bring comprehensive primary care to under-served areas, improving not only access to healthcare, but health outcomes.

People in my State depend on com-munity health centers for a variety of reasons. La Red Health Center, located in Georgetown, Delaware, shared that their patients appreciated their access to primary care, behavioral health services, and oral health care all in one place, and that medical services fo-cused on the full lifecycle. For some, they face the inability to access care at private practices.

Community health centers will con-tinue to be a vital source of care for underserved communities, and we should know the best ways to attract physicians to serve in them.

Madam Chair, I encourage my col-leagues to support the amendment.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), a tireless advocate and dis-tinguished Member, the chairwoman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.

Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. I share the gentlewoman’s concern about the lack of healthcare providers, especially in rural and un-derserved areas across the Nation.

This bill provides an increase of $138 million for programs to support train-ing for the next generation of healthcare providers.

For example, the bill provides addi-tional resources to support nurse train-ing, including a new $20 million nurse practitioner residency training pro-gram. The bill increases funding for Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education by $25 million.

The bill increases funding for Area Health Education Centers to expand the reach of healthcare networks and improve healthcare delivery in rural and underserved areas.

The bill also includes two new pro-grams, authorized last year in the SUPPORT Act, to support the mental health and substance use disorder workforce.

All of these programs focus on the areas of practice and populations most in need across the country.

Madam Chair, I thank the gentle-woman for offering this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to vote ‘‘yes.’’

Ms. BLUNT ROCHESTER. Madam Chair, I encourage my colleagues to support H.R. 2740 and this common-sense amendment. It will ensure that we have the best information available to help all communities, both rural and urban.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Florida.

Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield myself as much time as I may con-sume.

Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amendment, which I am proud to co- lead with 25 members of the Future Forum, a generational caucus that fo-cuses on issues important to younger Americans.

My amendment would provide addi-tional support for youth suicide pre-vention strategies in K–12 schools, col-leges, and universities, juvenile justice systems, and foster care systems.

My amendment would provide an ad-ditional $2 million for the Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention State and Campus grants.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth in America. In the

past decade, approximately 22,000 Americans ages 10 to 19 have died by suicide.

This is staggering, and we must re-member that behind every abstract statistic lies a shattered human life, a brokenhearted family, and a distraught community.

This issue hits close to home for fam-ilies in my central Florida district where, in recent years, we have mourned the loss of far too many stu-dents to suicide. Just months ago, a student died by suicide on a school campus. She was only 17 years old.

Last year, I held youth and mental health advisory board meetings in my district. My constituents told me that there was a need for additional re-sources on campus and in our commu-nities to help students and young adults treat mental health conditions before they become serious or even life- threatening.

That is precisely what our amend-ment would do.

Simply put, this grant funding will help save lives.

Madam Chair, I respectfully ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support it.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee.


Madam Chair, we know suicide is devastating our communities across the country; 47,000 deaths in 2017.

The underlying bill that we are con-sidering includes $20 million of new funding for suicide prevention efforts at the Centers for Disease Control and also at the Substance Abuse and Men-tal Health Services Administration.

This amendment increases funding for efforts to prevent suicide among youth at the places that many of them can be found: colleges and universities, youth-serving organizations.

Through training and activities aimed at identifying youth at risk for suicide, screenings and the connection to appropriate services are preventing suicides and suicide attempts.

The underlying bill that we consider tonight shows my interest and that I strongly support suicide prevention ef-forts.

Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this effort.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the amend-ment.



Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Utah (Mr. MCADAMS), my colleague and fel-low Future Forum member.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4611 June 12, 2019 leadership in our Future Forum and for focusing on the important healthcare issues facing our young people today.

Madam Chair, I am proud to cospon-sor this amendment to invest in the Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Pre-vention grants to promote outreach, education, awareness, and prevention efforts to young people in our commu-nities and to vulnerable students on our college campuses.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24 in my State of Utah, and we know that we can do more to save lives.

We have tremendous leaders stepping up in Utah to change the conversation on mental health and to reach people in crisis.

In fact, Weber State University in Utah recently used a Garrett Lee Smith Campus grant to fund its peer- based support network to address men-tal health stigma and to expand stu-dents’ access to mental health support.

Madam Chair, I am proud to support this amendment and to expand our work to invest in the mental health of our young people.

Mrs. MURPHY. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is no question that suicide prevention is important, no question in anyone’s mind. We have an epidemic of it, but we also have an epidemic of substance abuse.

Here is the problem. This amendment takes funds from health surveillance and program support, which supple-ment activities funded under the head-ings mental health, substance abuse treatment, and substance abuse pre-vention.

So there is a problem there, because no question suicide is important, sui-cide prevention is important, but this amendment is robbing Peter to pay Paul, Madam Chair. This amendment is taking money from substance abuse.

If we are going to set priorities, both should be high priorities. The gentle-woman should have found the money somewhere else, maybe in the $10 bil-lion that is sitting unspent in the CHIP account, instead of taking money from substance abuse.

Madam Chair, that is why I oppose this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from Florida (Mrs. MURPHY).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 57 OFFERED BY MS. OCASIO- CORTEZ


Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.





The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ) and a Member opposed each will con-trol 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from New York.

Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I rise to offer an amendment transfer-ring $15 million to the CDC’s Opioid- Related Infectious Disease program.

Madam Chair, one of the deadly con-sequences of the opioid crisis and its related use of contaminated drug equipment has been the increased inci-dence of blood-borne infections, includ-ing hepatitis, HIV, and bacteria-caused heart infections.

The CDC’s infectious disease program works to implement evidence-based drug prevention in schools and commu-nity settings.

The opioid crisis has impacted nearly every community in the United States, rich and poor, rural and urban, and people of all racial and cultural identi-ties.

In my own home borough of the Bronx, fatal overdoses are now at their highest rate since official data has even been made public, and 85 percent of those overdoses involved opioids.

In order for us to really approach and solve this issue, we have to make sure that we are adequately funding pro-grams that are backed by evidence and backed by studies and funded in a way that reduces the load and reduces the incidence of fatality.




Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bot-tom line is this bill already increases this program. With the committee re-port, page 59, we suggest an increase of $15 million.

The $15 million in this amendment comes out of the Office of the Sec-retary. Again, I don’t know how the Secretary is going to do all the work he has to do to take care of the entire Department if $15 million comes out to supplement a program that is already being supplemented.

Madam Chair, I yield to the gen-tleman from Texas (Mr. ROY).

b 0200

Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland. I appreciate my friend from New York’s concern about this important issue that is obvi-ously paramount for the Nation. Every

State in the Union is touched by the tragedy of opioid abuse.

I do want to point out, as has, I think, been made clear by my col-leagues and myself about our contin-ued concern about our lack of apprecia-tion and effort by this body to deal with the crisis at our border, that the impact on the opioid problem by the trafficking going on at our southern border is significant. I think we all agree on that. We all recognize that.

In fact, my colleague from New York and I have sat in Oversight hearings where we have had witnesses there where we talk about the massive in-crease over the last several years in the amount of narcotics that are com-ing through our southern border, and this is just something that I hope we can have a bipartisan understanding and agreement on about addressing and actually dealing with the concern.

According to Border Patrol’s most recent data, through the end of May, they seized 144 pounds of fentanyl be-tween ports of entry since October; 98 percent was seized on our southwest border.

Fentanyl, in a pack of sugar, is enough to kill everybody in this room. It is a very dangerous narcotic—144 pounds between ports of entry.

In 2018, U.S. Border Patrol seized 388 pounds of fentanyl.

6,162 ounces of heroin have been seized between the ports of entry in fis-cal year 2019 alone; 444 pounds of co-caine in May of this year between the ports of entry. Office of Field Oper-ations has seized 241,000 pounds of drugs, total.

Seventy thousand Americans died from drug overdoses in 2017, and fentanyl played a large roll in that. Deaths involving fentanyl increased more than 45 percent in 2017, alone.

I could go through the stats and we can keep talking about it, but I would hope that, on an issue like this, where I believe very much in the heart of my colleague and what she is trying to ac-complish with this amendment, that we could come to an agreement that the vast quantities of these narcotics, so much of it is coming across our southern border. In addition to, obvi-ously, the prescription drug problems we have had and we have been dealing with and we are trying to deal with, we have got to address this problem.

The cartels, literally, have oper-ational control of our border; and the consequences aren’t just the profit on the back of people and children and what we are dealing with and the in-ability to house them, but it is in this, in the opioid crisis that we are all try-ing to deal with that is being supplied so much from both China and then through Mexico.


Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I think it is important that we ac-knowledge and really recognize that this amendment is addressing the ap-propriation—it is an amendment to the

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4612 June 12, 2019 appropriation in health and human services.

The opioid crisis is here, and there is no denying that this is a crisis on our doorstep. There are multiple levers and multiple solutions that we can ap-proach in order to treat the amount of pain that is being experienced across the country.

So with that being said, what we really need to focus on is what those levers are, and one of these is the fact that infectious diseases, the rates of hepatitis B, hepatitis C are exploding due to the injection methods in the opioid crisis and self-administering opioids.

That being said, we have to address this issue. We are not even asking for an increased appropriation. We are ask-ing for a transfer of funds. So it is the same amount of funding, but we are just transferring it to a place where it is going to be most effective and treat and impact more families positively.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. ROY).

Mr. ROY. Madam Chair, I appreciate that, and I would only point out in re-sponse to my friend from New York, and recognizing that this is an HHS-re-lated matter, that one of the issues we are trying to deal with with respect to HHS is the office of ORR in dealing with the children and dealing with the unaccompanied children that we don’t have anyplace to house, and we are looking for $41⁄2 billion to deal with the problem at our border, including deal-ing with ORR and the children who are being housed at HHS. That it is a very paramount issue, and I think it is rel-evant in this particular moment.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there are a lot of important issues we can discuss on the floor. This is one of them, clear-ly. But we should be discussing a much larger issue, the issue of border secu-rity and stopping the flow.

144 pounds of fentanyl seized at the border, that could kill the entire popu-lation of the United States. This is the amount we seized.

It is unbelievable that Congress can’t act to control the flow of drugs across our southern border, because we are playing politics with our children’s lives now.

Madam Chair, we should bring the supplemental bill to the floor as soon as possible. As the gentleman from South Carolina suggested, we are ready to go all night. Let’s bring it to the floor. House leadership can bring it to the floor tonight. Let’s go ahead.


Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from New York (Ms. OCASIO- CORTEZ).


Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 58 OFFERED BY MS. OCASIO- CORTEZ


Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



On page 164, beginning on line 1, strike sec-tion 509.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ) and a Member opposed each will con-trol 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from New York.

Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer this critical bipar-tisan amendment that will allow United States researchers to study and examine the extraordinary promise shown by several schedule I drugs that have been shown in treating critical diseases, such as MDMA’s success in veteran PTSD, psilocybin’s promise in treatment-resistant depression, or ibogaine’s effectiveness in opioid and other drug addiction. Additionally, this will allow research into marijuana’s impact in cancer relief, seizure treat-ment, and more.

This amendment strikes a war-on- drugs provision that prohibits any ac-tivity ‘‘promoting the legalization of any drug included in schedule I of the Controlled Substance Act.’’ The prob-lem with this provision is that it is so vague and broadly interpreted that it prevents scientists from researching, examining, and exploring avenues of treatment that could alleviate an enor-mous amount of suffering from medical conditions.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to gentleman from California (Mr. CORREA).

Mr. CORREA. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.

I am proud to join my colleague from New York (Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ) to sup-port this life-saving amendment. We need legitimate, reliable research by universities and other institutions into the health benefits of cannabis and other substances. This amendment will allow credible research institutions to conduct research by removing layers of paperwork that serve as hurdles meant to block such research.

As more Americans, including vet-erans, use cannabis and so-called magic mushrooms to manage or treat their pain or other health conditions, it is important that doctors have the nec-essary information on the possible ben-efits or not of these substances.

Our brave men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan re-

turned home with many wounds, many of them invisible. Sadly, the current use of opioids to treat PTSD and other chronic pains has been effective and many times has led to addiction and even death.

I have listened to veterans both in California and in my office here in Washington, D.C., who have called for additional research into cannabis. Ac-cording to an Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America survey, more than 80 percent of their membership agree that cannabis should be legal for med-ical purposes, while 90 percent also sup-port medical cannabis research.

As a result, I introduced a bill to pro-mote cannabis research, the VA Med-ical Cannabis Research Act. My bipar-tisan bill requires clinical research on the safety and effectiveness of medical cannabis in treating veterans.

Likewise, this amendment will re-duce barriers to research on cannabis and psychedelics. Since Denver and Oakland have decriminalized the use of certain psychedelics, this amendment is both timely and very necessary.

I urge my colleagues to pass this amendment.



Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bot-tom line is this is not the place and this won’t do what the offer in support of the amendment says it is going to do, because the fact of the matter is that the DEA is the one that enforced the classification of schedule I. This bill has nothing to do with the DEA.

In fact, the problem with research and the problem with the difficulty in doing research does not lie in HHS. The problem lies in the fact that it is a schedule I drug, and the appropriate way to deal with this is through an au-thorizing committee, as the gentleman from California suggests, with legisla-tion that would allow more research, as has been suggested.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. PERRY).

Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland, and I just wonder about the responsibility of this legislation. To have the govern-ment promote these items that are on the schedule, things like MDMA, the pure form of Molly and meth, is that what we want? We want the Federal Government telling our families and our children: ‘‘Take this. It is good for you’’?

Maybe it is, but I sure don’t think it is. I certainly don’t want my kids tak-ing it, and I certainly don’t want the government promoting it.

Essentially, my whole life was smok-ing cessation of tobacco. Now we are fi-nally at a place where we have reduced that dramatically, and now we are going to tell the whole rest of the country, well, let’s all start smoking marijuana instead.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4613 June 12, 2019 I don’t think this is what the govern-

ment should be promoting, and I think we should have a lot more research be-fore we tell our kids that this is what they should be doing.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. PERRY), who is absolutely right. We do need more research. But the current re-striction that is struck, section 509, says that this limitation shall not apply where there is significant med-ical evidence of therapeutic advantage or that federally sponsored clinical trials are being conducted.

Well, that is what we need. We need federally sponsored clinical trials. The current section 509 does not stop this.

Now, look, I get it. There are people who want the legalization of mari-juana. I get it. But as a physician, I will tell you I urge the people who sug-gest that there are broad applicabilities that are proven medical uses of marijuana to go back to the Journal of the American Medical Asso-ciation, which did a review last year that indicated that, of the over 50 sug-gested uses for medical marijuana, only 4 are proven through rigorous sci-entific trials—4, Madam Chair.

PTSD is not one of them. It is not. Treatment for opioid abuse is not one of them.

In fact, Dr. Nora Volkow, the head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, who I think knows probably more than anyone in this room about the subject, says that marijuana is an addictive drug that is dangerous, and recent re-search says that induces psychosis in young people, serious major psychotic conditions.

And we want to remove all the re-strictions in the health part of the law?


Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ. Madam Chair, my colleague across the aisle said we need to research this more, and I agree, and that is why this amendment is being introduced.

The note was brought up that there is a rider provision saying that there is an exception for those drugs that have shown medical promise, but we cannot prove that medical promise unless we fund the research to actually have it in the first place.

So we have a catch-22, and we have to get rid of it.

There are war-on-drugs provisions in so many Federal statutes beyond just the one schedule, the one scheduling of these drugs.

I am a strong believer in evidence- based policymaking, and wherever there is evidence of good, we have a moral obligation to pursue and explore the parameters of that good, even if it means challenging our past assump-tions or admitting past wrongs.

Thirty percent of all military vet-erans have considered suicide—30 per-cent. So if a substance shows promise in treating PTSD, we have an obliga-tion to study it.

One of the leading causes of death in America today is suicide. So if a sched-

ule I drug shows clinical promise in treating and in treatment-resistant de-pression, perhaps it is not the drug we should say is morally wrong, but per-haps it is the law, the schedule, the statute.

b 0215 Moreover, I am proud to say that this

is a bipartisan amendment. My col-leagues on the other side of the aisle often bemoan the role of government and promote ideas of choice. Here, in that spirit, I am happy to agree, to say we should get government and political opinion out of scientific research that we have seen and has shown promise in any way that can help people and their medical needs.

Lastly, I understand that the politics of this bill may make it difficult for some to support right now. But I pro-pose this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to support it, because poli-tics isn’t always about winning today. It is about fighting for what is right in the future and for future generations.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, may I in-quire how much time I have remaining.

The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland has 2 minutes remain-ing.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the bot-tom line is that there is scientific evi-dence about the danger of marijuana.

It is largely unstudied, and anyone, Madam Chair, who understands how re-search is conducted here should realize that the roadblock is not in HHS. It is not in the jurisdiction of this bill. It is with the DEA. This does nothing to re-move the scheduling with regard to how the DEA views marijuana.

Dr. Volkow, one of the world’s ex-perts on addiction, it was brought up that maybe we can treat addiction with marijuana, and she says abso-lutely not. This drug causes addiction. One-seventh of the people who are ad-dicted to opioids started with mari-juana. It is a gateway drug. It is dan-gerous.

This amendment does nothing to deal with promoting research because the problem is not in HHS. The problem is in DEA.

Madam Chair, I have tried to deal with this problem. I have cosponsored a bill that promotes research with a broader approach, to involve all the Federal agencies that could hinder re-search in any way. This amendment does nothing to do that. This sends a bad signal.

As the gentleman from Pennsylvania suggested, this isn’t about marijuana, it is about every schedule I drug, and there are very dangerous schedule I drugs.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from New York (Ms. OCASIO- CORTEZ).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from New York will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 59 OFFERED BY MR. MCADAMS The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Mr. MCADAMS. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.





The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from Utah (Mr. MCADAMS) and a Mem-ber opposed each will control 5 min-utes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah.

Mr. MCADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Chair, I rise to offer my amendment to strengthen our national efforts to address the public health cri-sis of suicide in our country.

I would like to applaud Chairwoman LOWEY and Ranking Member GRANGER for their work on this bill, as well as my colleague from Utah on the com-mittee, Representative STEWART, who has been a champion of suicide preven-tion efforts in Congress.

For the first time, this legislation specifically provides funding for re-search, outreach, and prevention meas-ures on the concerning public health issue of suicide through the Centers for Disease Control’s Injury Prevention and Control programs. My amendment would build on this work by providing additional capacity at the CDC to en-sure the agency can enhance its out-reach and prevention work for youth at risk of suicide.

My home State of Utah is grappling with a suicide crisis. From seniors ex-periencing isolation in rural commu-nities to young people who face bul-lying in schools, we are seeing rates of suicide rise across multiple popu-lations. In fact, one high school in my district recently lost seven students to suicide in only 1 year.

Utah has the unfortunate distinction of being the State with the sixth high-est rate of deaths by suicide, and sui-cide is the leading cause of death of Utahns 15 to 24 years old.

According to the CDC, between 1999 and 2016, per capita deaths by suicide rose 46.5 percent in Utah, well above the concerning national increase of 25.4 percent over the same period. Our youth suicide rate more than doubled between 2011 and 2015.

We have a bipartisan agreement in our State that we need to do more to understand and address this crisis. I thank our State Governor, Governor

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4614 June 12, 2019 Herbert, for convening a youth suicide task force to lead this effort, and the public and community leaders who have been working on a number of ini-tiatives. School leaders have been working to hire more mental health professionals and to offer services to help students in crisis. Our conversa-tion in Utah on mental health wellness has continued to evolve and bring a focus to the health needs of vulnerable people.

From suicide prevention lifelines, in-cluding those for at-risk populations like veterans, to mental health crisis training for first responders and care providers, we know we still need to in-vest in the services and infrastructure that serve people in crisis.

Policymakers must continue to re-view how we are working to strengthen our public health education on suicide prevention and ensure that people with mental health and behavioral health needs can access affordable, quality care.

I believe my amendment takes a strong step to ensuring our national and State public health experts have sufficient resources to investigate this troubling rise in deaths by suicide, par-ticularly among young people, and to develop and implement prevention strategies.

I look forward to continuing this work with my colleagues on the Appro-priations Committee.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO).


We established over and over again this evening how suicide is devastating our communities across this country. While depression and other mental health conditions are a significant risk factor for suicide, less than half of the people who die from suicide have a known mental health condition.

The underlying bill that we are con-sidering tonight includes $10 million for a new effort at the CDC to explore the leading mechanisms of suicide deaths and identify prevention strate-gies to reduce deaths by suicide. This amendment increases the funding for this effort by $2 million to specifically focus on youth suicide awareness, re-search, and prevention efforts.

I am committed to suicide preven-tion, and I appreciate the gentleman’s support for the efforts that are focused on our youth.


Mr. MCADAMS. Madam Chair, I re-serve the balance of my time.




Mr. MCADAMS. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, there is no question that everyone

knows that we are in a suicide epi-demic. We have to do whatever we can, whatever is within our powers—work with our States, work within our local jurisdictions, work with our commu-nity agencies—to deal with this hor-rible epidemic that we are having.

My problem with and my opposition to the amendment is not the fact that we need to pay attention to suicide prevention. It is from where we get the funds.

We take the funds from that, I guess, bottomless piggybank some people think is the Secretary’s office. In the short time we have had since the last vote series, we will have taken $20 mil-lion from the Secretary’s office if all those amendments pass on final vote. Madam Chair, we increased the Sec-retary’s office by 1 percent in the un-derlying budget, so we increased it less than inflation.

Again, the job of HHS is growing, not shrinking. We increased it only 1 per-cent. With this amendment, just since the time of the last vote series, we will have decreased the budget by 5 percent in that office.

That is not responsible. That implies that the committee didn’t do good work in setting how much the Sec-retary’s office needs to administer a huge government agency, a very impor-tant government agency, one that, in fact, runs suicide prevention programs and drug addiction programs.

Madam Chair, we have to set prior-ities. It is nice to say we have suicide prevention, but let’s find the pro-gram—we didn’t take it from a pro-gram. This amendment doesn’t take it from a program. This amendment takes it from something that is not a limitless reserve: the Office of the Sec-retary.

That is why I believe we should op-pose this amendment.

Madam Chair, we should expect that Members who want to prioritize pro-grams find other programs that have a lower priority and shift those funds.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from Utah (Mr. MCADAMS).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Utah will be post-poned.

AMENDMENT NO. 60 OFFERED BY MS. SCHRIER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



On page 109, line 23, after ‘‘medical goods and services,’’, insert ‘‘which may include early childhood developmental screenings,’’

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. SCHRIER) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Washington.

Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Chair, my amendment would ensure that early childhood develop-mental screenings are considered a medical service and, therefore, can be provided to children at the border who are in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. These screenings would be performed by volunteer medical pro-fessionals at no cost to the taxpayer or to the child.

There are already, thankfully, provi-sions for pediatric-focused medical care. That is critical given that six children have died while in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

This amendment goes further, though, and makes sure that the devel-opmental, social, and emotional health of the children is also evaluated. Devel-opmental screening is a standard part of pediatric care and will diagnose things like hearing loss, autism, lan-guage delays, and even developmental regression that is associated with toxic stress.

Given the conditions under which these children are living right now, often without their parents and with-out age-appropriate activities to bol-ster their cognitive development, this type of screening with appropriate fol-low-up and care is critical.

Early intervention is paramount. Al-lowing medical professionals to volun-teer their time and expertise to screen babies and young children for physical problems and developmental delays is a way to make sure that children do not fall behind during these critical forma-tive years and that they are set up for success in their school years and be-yond.

This amendment simply clarifies that if Americans are willing to donate medical services to children at the bor-der, those may include developmental and behavioral assessments.

Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I re-serve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the amend-ment, even though I support the amendment.


There was no objection. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve

the balance of my time.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4615 June 12, 2019 amendment perfects the bipartisan provision that was included in last year’s Labor-HHS bill, which allowed the Department to accept donations to assist in providing basic medical care and support for children in the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s care. I believe it was an amendment by our colleague Representative CUELLAR of Texas.

The Congresswoman’s proposal to in-clude early childhood developmental screenings is a great one for those gen-erous volunteers who want to help these children while they are in ORR’s care.

I also want to emphasize that we will not allow HHS or its grantees to abdi-cate any of their responsibilities to meet the standards that are set in law to care for these children. On numerous occasions, we, in fact, found, that the care was less than what was required by the agreement struck in 1997.

The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.

Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentle-woman from Connecticut.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I strongly support the efforts of local groups to provide comfort to those suf-fering, and I commend the Congress-woman for her amendment.

I might also add, for those who are speaking loudly about their support for children at the border, my colleague on the other side of the aisle voted ‘‘no’’ on the FY appropriations Labor-HHS bill, which provided $1.3 billion for dealing with the children at the border.

Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, I am prepared to close, if my colleague has no further comments.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, we are going to need a lot of volunteers, actu-ally, in a month because the majority, time and time and time again, has voted against taking care of these chil-dren when money runs out this month. That is a fact. Yes, we will need volun-teers. We need volunteers to do more than the mental health, which is very important.

When you talk about toxic stress, wait until a child comes to the border and we can’t provide medical services. And we can’t provide services because the majority in the House refuses to bring a supplemental appropriation to the floor.

Now, the gentlewoman commented on someone—I don’t know, maybe it was me—voting against a bill that has $1.3 billion, that spends tens of billions of dollars above the statutory Budget Control Act numbers, and yet the ma-jority voted in committee this week to provide billions of dollars of funds to take care of children at the border. They leave that inconvenient fact out.

Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. PERRY).

Mr. PERRY. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman from Maryland.

What time is it? 2:30 on the East Coast here. Some little girl on the bor-der of Texas, they don’t know where to put her; they don’t have a bed for her.

The Department of Homeland Secu-rity has made this request. They have said they are out of money. They are out of resources. Some little girl who has probably been brought by some trafficker, who has been told to keep her mouth shut or else, has nowhere to be.

We are in here talking about reports and everything but providing the re-sources—not that the President has asked for. I mean, I am sure the Presi-dent has, at the behest of his Secretary who knows, who is operationally on the ground, who sees the problems as they occur.

And because we certainly can’t have President Trump have a victory, some poor little girl is crying in a corner somewhere because she has been dragged across the border by some traf-ficker.

We don’t even do the biometric test that is required by law. We don’t even know, we can’t prove that she is with her family.

The adult says: You tell them that I am your father. You tell them I am your brother or uncle. You tell them, or else.

And what do we do? We just accept it. We accept this trafficker’s word for it that this little girl belongs with him.

It is unacceptable. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I thank

the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. PERRY).

The fact of the matter is that the majority, last year, when they were in the minority, voted along party lines to not provide funds to take care of children in the Labor-HHS bill in com-mittee. Every single member voted against it in committee, of the now- majority, then-minority. So I guess what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.

But we did take votes this year on a motion to recommit, on an amendment in committee this week, and a major-ity of the majority voted to not fund care for the children. That is where we are going to run out of money.

The President, to his credit, has asked and said: Please send money. Please send money to fund the care for these children and to stop the flow of drugs across the border.

Madam Chair, 144 pounds of fentanyl. We have to stop that.

Yes, certainly, it is important to do these screenings, and I thank the gen-tlewoman for offering the amendment, but we have got to go much further than that.

And again, Madam Chair, it is still early in the morning. We are ready. Bring the supplemental bill to the floor.


Ms. SCHRIER. Madam Chair, for somebody who agrees with my amend-ment, that was a lot of commentary about our situation at the border.

I am not here to discuss our situation at the border or how we treat refugees. I am not here to discuss the fact that

families can be with sponsors in the United States and not in detention cen-ters.

I am merely here to discuss my amendment, which is that I would like children to have appropriate medical care and developmental screenings.

Madam Chair, I am so glad to have the agreement from my colleague. I yield back the balance of my time.

AMENDMENT NO. 61 OFFERED BY MRS. LEE OF NEVADA


Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair-woman, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 43, line 2, after the dollar amount, in-sert ‘‘(increased by $5,000,000)


The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Nevada (Mrs. LEE) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Nevada.

Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair-woman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Madam Chairwoman, our amendment would provide an increase in funds for graduate medical education.

Just today, the Commonwealth Fund rated my home State of Nevada as the 48th State, overall, for healthcare per-formance. We trail the vast majority of States in access, affordability, and use of preventive care. Preventable hos-pitalizations are up, and adults with a regular doctor are down.

Our amendment would invest in grad-uate medical education slots, expand-ing access for Nevadans to get a pri-mary care doctor or family physician.

I am grateful for the help of Chair-woman DELAURO on this amendment, as well as Congresswoman PORTER for cosponsoring it with me.

Madam Chair, I urge all of my col-leagues to support the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the amend-ment, even though I am not opposed to it.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4616 June 12, 2019 There was no objection. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I reserve

the balance of my time. Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair-

woman, I yield 1 minute to the gentle-woman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO).

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.

I rise in support of this amendment. Our country is facing medical pro-

vider shortages in many critical fields of care, including primary care. These shortages have a disproportionate im-pact in communities of color and in rural areas.

The bill includes an increase of $138 million to support the Health Re-sources and Services Administration’s health workforce programs, which are designed to fill gaps in the supply of health professionals in the areas with the most need. These programs prepare the next generation of healthcare pro-viders with the goal of improving ac-cess to and quality of care.

The gentlewoman’s amendment will build further on these efforts, and I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.

Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, graduate medical education is absolutely a prob-lem; there is no question about it. The demographics are clear in the United States.

We have an aging population that re-quires more services, and yet we don’t have enough graduate medical edu-cation to train all the physicians and providers that we need to train.

Here is the problem with the amend-ment: It goes to one of those bottom-less wells, I guess. And not only does it go to a bottomless well in the depart-ment that the money is spent in, it goes to a bottomless well in another department.

Again, there is $10 billion in CHIP’s funds unspent, could have come from, but, no, the money is taken from the Secretary of Education’s departmental management fund.

Now, let’s review the budget of the Department of Education, because the budget is increased by 5 percent under the bill passed out by the majority from the House, from the committee.

So get it. The Department of Edu-cation increased in size by 5 percent, and the bill itself level-funds the De-partment—management, not Depart-ment, but the management.

So we are already asking the man-agement to basically do 5 percent more work for the same amount of money, and here comes along this amendment, again, no question we need more grad-uate medical education. Again, it is a question of priorities. If we need grad-uate medical education, let’s find something in HHS that we don’t need much of, and let’s transfer that money.

But, no, that is not the approach taken here. It is magic. We want magic to happen.

We want the Department of Edu-cation to do all the wonderful things

that we pay for in this budget, and we want them to do it with level funding, even though the budget goes up 5 per-cent. And, now, this amendment takes 1 percent—that is significant, 1 per-cent—because this is not the only amendment that has gone after that pot of money. The bottom line is it cre-ates more mouths to feed.

This doesn’t end well because, next year, this now becomes the baseline and the Department—I don’t know what they are going to do in conference because, if all these amendments are passed, the Department can’t run on that money. They can’t. You can’t manage it.

Who are we going to fire? Are we going to fire 5 percent of the people, 10 percent of the people expecting to do the same work?

This ain’t the way to run anything, much less the Government of the United States.

Madam Chair, I applaud the author of the amendment for the idea, but for heaven’s sake, we need fiscal sanity. We have a $22 trillion debt, a $1 trillion deficit. We spend over $100 billion more than the statutory authority in these appropriations bills. We have got to exert fiscal discipline at some point.

Madam Chair, I reluctantly oppose the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Madam Chair, I again thank Chairwoman DELAURO for helping with this amendment, and I urge all of my colleagues to support it.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from Nevada (Mrs. LEE).


Mr. PERRY. Madam Chairwoman, I demand a recorded vote.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Nevada will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 62 OFFERED BY MRS. CRAIG The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 48, line 1, after the dollar amount, in-sert ‘‘(increased by $1,000,000)’’.


The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. CRAIG) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Minnesota.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, every Minnesotan deserves access to high- quality healthcare no matter where

they live. However, too many of my neighbors face difficulty traveling long distances to the nearest hospital or even finding a nearby pharmacy. On top of that, prescription drug prices are skyrocketing and putting lifesaving medications out of reach for too many families.

These critical issues—access to healthcare and the price of prescription drugs—are the top issues I hear about in my district. Therefore, my amend-ment would take a step toward ad-dressing these issues by giving the Health Resources and Services Admin-istration’s, or HRSA, Federal Office of Rural Health Policy an additional $1 million to prioritize its coordination with the U.S. Department of Agri-culture to establish its rural health li-aison.

This amendment builds on report language in the underlying bill that en-courages HRSA to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to en-sure communities have access to the full suite of Federal resources and that those resources are used effectively for health outcomes.

Madam Chair, for a bit of additional background, Representative CHERI BUSTOS and Senator TINA SMITH of Minnesota, their bipartisan Rural Health Liaison Act of 2018 was ulti-mately included in the 2018 farm bill and established this rural health liai-son position.

b 0245

The liaison position at USDA will be responsible for working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to better coordinate rural health resources across Federal agen-cies. This new program is critical to rural areas, which have historically lacked access to adequate healthcare, and this disparity is getting worse.

It is vital that we move forward to close these gaps and address the rural shortage of hospitals, medical profes-sionals, mental health services, and other healthcare resources to ensure that every family can access the healthcare that they need.

Madam Chairwoman, as a Member of the House Agriculture Committee, I have made it a priority to partner with rural communities to improve access to healthcare, broadband, housing, and quality of life for those who live there. This amendment is part of that com-mitment.

Our fight for more affordable, acces-sible healthcare must include rural America if we are going to truly ad-dress this critical issue. When our rural communities are healthy, all of our communities are healthy.

Madam Chairwoman, I yield to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and rise in support of this amendment.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4617 June 12, 2019 I just want to commend the gentle-woman for her commitment and dedi-cation to rural America and to her community.

The success of HHS programs to ad-dress rural health is enhanced when programs coordinate with other agen-cies that have a related mission. The committee report encourages the Health Resources and Services Admin-istration, to coordinate—HRSA is a part of Health and Human Services—to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its forthcoming rural health liaison, which has been de-termined by the farm bill, to ensure communities have access to the spec-trum of Federal resources available to them, to ensure that these resources are managed effectively and effi-ciently, and that people who are living in rural communities are not isolated and without the services they need for themselves and for their families, whether it be health, or whether it be broadband, whether it be a variety of other areas, to allow people to be able to have a good quality of life in some of the most remote areas.

I thank the gentlewoman for offering this amendment and I urge my col-leagues to vote ‘‘yes.’’

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I urge my colleagues as well to support this commonsense amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chairwoman, I rise in opposition to the amendment, even though I agree with the idea be-hind the amendment.


There was no objection. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chairwoman,

there is no question that the rural areas in this country frequently get shortchanged. I know because I rep-resent a rural area. That is why I was surprised because we just heard a lot of lip service to doing great things for the rural areas, but, in fact, rural health is level funded in this bill before us.

The Department spending is $10 bil-lion higher and nothing, no increase could go to the rural areas. And now, all of a sudden, we are all fans of rural areas. On the other side of the aisle I guess we are all fans of rural areas.

We do need this extra $1 million. Here is the problem. It didn’t identify another program to take the money from. It went to the believably bottom-less well of department management, the Office of the Secretary, which now is up to $21 million in being raided just since the last vote series.

I don’t know. I don’t think you need an accounting degree to figure out that that doesn’t work. We are asking the Department to do more with much less money. And, again, we do these rural health programs. No question. But I wish that rural health programs had gotten a proportionate increase in the base bill that we are talking about, but they didn’t.

Now, I will tell the gentlewoman about one problem that is very ramp-

ant in my rural areas and across the country. If most people were asked: Where is the opioid crisis worse, urban or rural areas? We know what they will respond, but the data shows that it is rural areas. They have a worse prob-lem. And, yet, it is now 2:50 in the morning and we still haven’t seen the supplemental bill that would help stop the flow of illegal drugs across our southern border.

If we really care for our rural areas, we would ask the leadership to now bring the bill. We can have it here in a half hour. Let’s spend all night. Let’s protect our rural areas. There was 144 pounds of fentanyl seized. When are we going to be tired about fentanyl cross-ing our borders and killing our rural citizens?

When are we going to stop proving a political point and dealing with the problem? We have been promised we are going to fast-track this. Madam Chairwoman, the President suggested this amount a month ago. No wonder America has an opinion of Congress of 9 percent, because the President identi-fied a problem a month ago and said: We are going to run out of money to take care of children and to secure our border, and Congress does nothing.

We want to help our rural areas. This is not the way to do it. Let’s stop the flow of illegal drugs across our south-ern borders. Let’s stop playing politics with the lives of our youth in rural areas by allowing that flow of drugs across the border.

Madam Chairwoman, bring the sup-plemental bill to the floor tonight. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. CRAIG. May I inquire how much time I have remaining?

The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Minnesota has 30 seconds remain-ing.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I would like to point out that I, too, am concerned about $22 trillion in deficits. But I can tell you, the rural people in my district, they are very concerned about the $1 trillion tax bill that was a giveaway to the top 5 percent and large corporations in this country.

I grew up in a mobile home park, and that was the last time we tried trickle- down economics in this country, and nothing trickled down to my family. So I will tell the gentleman this: If he wants to find $21 million since we have been here tonight, let’s take a look at the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and have real middle-class tax reform.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. CRAIG).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by

the gentlewoman from Minnesota will be postponed.



Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 122, line 17, after the dollar amount, insert ‘‘(reduced by $1,000,000) (increased by $1,000,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. CRAIG) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.


Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, as a mother of four sons, the wife of an educator, and the daughter of a teach-er, I know that we should never under-estimate the power of a high-quality education, and we need the Federal Government to be a strong partner in this effort.

That starts by fully funding special education. Unfortunately, for far too long, the Federal Government has not lived up to its commitment to fully fund special ed. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, the Federal Government is re-quired to fund special education up to 40 percent per pupil. Special education programs in Minnesota currently re-ceive as little as 8 percent.

My amendment, which I am incred-ibly proud to introduce today with my Minnesota colleague, Representative PETE STAUBER, stresses the importance of IDEA grants to States to address funding gaps in special education pro-grams.

These grants are given to each State to ensure that adequate resources are being devoted to special education pro-grams.

As the mother of a son with learning challenges, I am proud to fight for our children and our communities. I want to thank the Appropriations Com-mittee for working on this issue, and I applaud their work in increasing fund-ing for IDEA.

This bill provides over $14 billion for special education, an increase of $1 bil-lion over the 2019 enacted level. This is a great start toward that 40 percent. Special education should be a critical piece of any conversation surrounding education because for too long, we haven’t given it the attention or the resources it deserves.

I am listening to my district. My dis-trict wants the Federal Government to send its tax dollars back to Eagan, and Apple Valley, and South Saint Paul, and West Saint Paul, and all of the places where we can do what we need to do for our kids.

This isn’t just about special edu-cation children. It has a ripple effect. When we fail to fund special ed pro-grams, that money is taken from other

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4618 June 12, 2019 budgets in our schools to make up the difference, and all students end up at a disadvantage.

Every student deserves access to a quality education no matter how they learn. Our public schools give kids the skills they need to become future lead-ers in our communities and earn a good life for their families. Special edu-cation can make all of the difference in a student’s life and in a family’s life, and we must take action to ensure we are properly supporting these students.

Madam Chairwoman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), chairwoman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chairwoman, I rise in support of this bipartisan amendment in grants to States under the Individuals with Disabilities Edu-cation Act, IDEA.

My colleague is right that the Fed-eral Government has never met its commitment to special education, which is why the underlying bill in-cludes $13.4 billion for IDEA Grants to States, a $1 billion increase over fiscal year 2019.

This increase reflects the largest in-crease to the program in more than a decade. I am deeply concerned that the Federal share of the excess cost of edu-cating students with disabilities has declined in recent years and intend for this historic investment to play a crit-ical role in helping to reverse that trend.

I appreciate that the amendment draws attention to this important pro-gram. I am happy to support it, and I urge my colleagues to support it.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chairwoman, I urge my colleague to support this amendment, and I yield back the bal-ance of my time.



Mr. MASSIE. Madam Chair, I demand a recorded vote.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Minnesota will be postponed.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, education is at the core of our communities, but for too long, students have been told that traditional, 4-year degrees are their only option for finding good-pay-ing jobs.

In reality, we have a major skills gap in Minnesota. We are unable to find skilled workers for the jobs that exist.

I have one son in high school, two in traditional 4-year colleges, and my last son, Josh, just graduated from a career training program. He is my son with multiple job offers.

Career and technical education needs to be a critical investment in order to connect workers with the right train-ing to help keep our economy strong.

My amendment stresses the impor-tance of Perkins funding in adult edu-cation to ensure that we are devoting adequate resources to job training pro-grams. Expanding access to grants for career and technical education, includ-ing apprenticeships, is critical.

Minnesota’s economy depends on bright, talented young people, and we need to make sure that they have the skills they need to succeed. That starts with taking a new approach to postsec-ondary education and training and ex-panding career and technical education opportunities.

Everyone should be able to get the skills and training that they need to find a good-paying job. To make this a reality, we need to take a fresh look at our job market, our education system, and the way we prepare students for the workforce. That starts by investing in these programs and helping our young people see 2-year degrees as part of their career path.

We have to change the way we think about postsecondary education in this country. We have to look at the econ-omy in education, and a critical piece is investing in career skills and tech-nical education.



The career and technical education program helps ensure that high school and community college students are well-prepared for further education and employment in high-skill and high-de-mand jobs in the 21st-century econ-omy.

Research by the conservative Amer-ican Enterprise Institute found that students who take career and technical education credits in high school were more likely to be employed full time a decade later than those who did not.

The adult basic literacy education program provides education and lit-eracy assistance to low-skilled Ameri-cans, enabling them to acquire foundational reading, math, and

English skills as well as career readi-ness skills for employment or transi-tion to advanced postsecondary edu-cation. That is why the Labor-HHS bill provides an increase of $77 million for CTE and adult education, for a total of $2 billion, to further support the work that these critical programs do.

Today, 70 percent of the people in the United States do not have a 4-year lib-eral arts college degree. We need to make sure that this 70 percent has the opportunity to realize their dreams and aspirations and provide them with edu-cational opportunities that will give them and their families economic secu-rity for their futures.

I appreciate that the amendment draws attention to these important issues, and I am happy to support it.

Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in opposition, even though I support the amendment.


There was no objection. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is

no question that we have shortchanged career and technical education over the last few years because, to be honest, the last administration had a very dif-ferent attitude about the needs of high-er education. Thank goodness this Sec-retary and this administration have said career and technical education is important.

It is an important part of our econ-omy, and we find that those individuals who have career and technical edu-cation in those sectors of the economy that are vibrant do have multiple job offers. They have very lucrative job of-fers.

On the other hand, some of the indi-viduals who go to a traditional college leave with liberal arts degrees and leave with huge debts and very limited opportunities for employment.

We have to rebalance that. I applaud the gentlewoman from Minnesota for emphasizing the importance because this is long, long overdue.


Mrs. CRAIG. Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.





The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Minnesota will be postponed.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4619 June 12, 2019 AMENDMENT NO. 65 OFFERED BY MS. PORTER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.



Page 75, line 4, after the dollar amount, in-sert ‘‘(increased by $2,000,000)’’.

The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. PORTER) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from California.

Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise to offer an amendment to the fiscal year 2020 appropriations bill that would in-crease funding for the Senior Medicare Patrol program.

Every year, we lose more than $60 billion to fraud and abuse in Medicare. Money lost to fraud means fewer dol-lars available for needed services and a decreased quality of care for all.

Senior Medicare Patrol supports both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries by helping them to detect and report healthcare fraud. Each year, this pro-gram helps both seniors and the Fed-eral Government recover or avoid los-ing billions of dollars.

I am proud to say that California’s Senior Medicare Patrol program is based in my district and in my home-town of Irvine. The program is admin-istered there by California Health Ad-vocates.

CHA recently received its perform-ance measure numbers from the Office of the Inspector General for 2018. Through the program, it reached 200,000 California beneficiaries, fami-lies, and caregivers with fraud preven-tion messages; hosted nearly 3,000 out-reach events; and recruited over 600 volunteers across the State to fight for seniors and families.

I thank those 600 volunteers in Cali-fornia and more than 5,000 across the country, many of whom are retired and are on Medicare themselves, for their tireless efforts.

Last year, the Office of the Inspector General of HHS investigated a case in Los Angeles in which a doctor and a re-cruiter were found guilty for their roles in frequently billing Medicare for clinic, hospice services, and durable medical equipment that patients either didn’t need or didn’t receive. This fraud cost Medicare and patients $33 million.

Senior Medicare Patrol helps stop fraudulent actors, saving the system money.

Rising as well are lab schemes in which labs are offering cancer screens using genetic testing, but really, these labs are collecting Medicare numbers for potential medical identity theft or billing Medicare for expensive genetic tests that no one needs. These costs are passed on to Medicare, taxpayers, or to the patients themselves.

Recently, California Health Advo-cates issued an alert in nine languages about these fraudulent tests. Because of this alert, senior centers that have been approached by those executing these schemes have shut them out, armed with the knowledge they need to protect their patients from fraud.

I am proud to be here today to ensure that this program receives the funding it needs. As a consumer protection ad-vocate, keeping seniors and taxpayers safe from fraud is a top priority.


Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of Congresswoman PORTER’s amendment.

It increases funding for the Senior Medicare Patrol program by $2 million. It provides important outreach, coun-seling, and education to Medicare bene-ficiaries, their families, and caregivers to detect and report fraud, a critical program. It protects seniors as well as taxpayers from criminal fraud, reaches nearly 2 million beneficiaries per year, and returns millions of dollars in sav-ings to the Treasury.


Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I thank the chairwoman for her remarks, and I reserve the balance of my time.


The Acting CHAIR (Mrs. CRAIG). The gentleman from Maryland is recog-nized for 5 minutes.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, the idea is okay. This is all part of the puzzle. The Senior Medicare Patrol is a part of the puzzle.

But, again, my problem with this amendment is not that this program doesn’t have some value. It is from where it takes the money. It makes the judgment that the other things in that pot of fraud control—because that is the pot it comes out of. It doesn’t say that this fraud control program is so important that we are going to look into some other part of HHS to take those dollars. It says that the other parts of fraud control are not as impor-tant.

Madam Chair, part of this money goes, for instance, to Department of Justice special attorneys who actually have to prosecute the cases. It is nice to find fraud, but if we don’t have money to prosecute the cases, then we have a problem.

Again, this is the wishful thinking that we can just create all kinds of pro-grams and that it doesn’t make a dif-ference where the money comes from. But it does because this $2 million comes out of some other fraud control somewhere. That is my concern.

I don’t know that we have the knowl-edge to know that this fraud control actually yields more in terms of catch-ing fraud and getting fraud moneys back than other uses of this account.

That is why, again, I applaud the idea. Let’s train everybody to look. We

know that fraud in Medicare and Med-icaid is huge. The American taxpayer deserves to catch all the fraud. I am just not sure this is the best way to spend our fraud dollars. This account has already been plussed-up in the un-derlying bill, and that is why I reluc-tantly oppose the amendment.


Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from California (Ms. POR-TER).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from California will be postponed.

AMENDMENT NO. 66 OFFERED BY MS. PORTER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order









Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment to the fis-cal year 2020 appropriations bill that would provide essential funding to the Health Resources and Service Adminis-tration, HRSA, for its critical research to create a strategy to address inti-mate partner violence.

Intimate partner violence is a crit-ical public health issue that affects millions of women, men, children, and families. The HRSA strategy uses re-search to help partners identify and ad-dress key social determinants of health and their interactions with the impacts of intimate partner violence through awareness, screening, and treatment.

Building on studies from the VAWA health program, HRSA has used this funding to couple the strategy with a program known as Project Catalyst to foster intimate partner violence re-sponse and health collaboration at the State level.

More than 25 percent of women and 11 percent of men have experienced sex-ual violence, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetimes, and I am one of them.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4620 June 12, 2019 My three children and I were able to

move forward with our lives, staying in our community and our home. I found help to heal our family and let us re-build our lives, and I relied on essential healthcare resources in this process. That rebuilding brought me here to ad-vocate for survivors who escaped the cycle of violence and to speak on be-half of those who haven’t.

Each year, millions suffer in silence. Our healthcare workforce needs the tools and knowledge necessary to sup-port every single victim of intimate partner violence. The funding through HRSA’s strategy to address intimate partner violence includes the integra-tion of intimate partner violence re-sponses into HIV, home healthcare, and numerous other women’s programs.

This fiscal year 2020 request will cre-ate dedicated funding under programs at HRSA specifically focusing on com-munity health centers that provide es-sential local primary and mental healthcare.

My district in Orange County is home to eight community health cen-ters. I hope that with the growth of this program, more of these providers will have the opportunity to address intimate partner violence.

b 0315

We need funding to complete the work necessary to implement HRSA’s strategy and for the growth of Project Catalyst to add more States to this ini-tiative.


Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of this amendment. First of all, let me say a ‘‘thank you’’ to our colleague, the gentlewoman, for having the courage to tell her own story in such a public way.

Intimate partner violence is a serious public health problem. It affects mil-lions of women and men across the country.

The HRSA strategy to address inti-mate partner violence focuses on agency- and system-wide efforts to im-prove the awareness about this vio-lence, screening, and treatment.

The related Project Catalyst is sup-porting these efforts at the State level.

Madam Chair, I thank the gentle-woman for offering this amendment, and I urge my colleagues to vote ‘‘yes.’’



Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I don’t oppose the amendment, because this is a very important topic. There is no question about it. This is another one of the ways that our country needs im-provement. Certainly, the Federal Gov-ernment is an appropriate place to look for strategies to do that improvement.

Here is the problem: We have to set priorities. If this is a priority—look, we have a trillion-dollar deficit. And this

should be a priority. Let’s find a pro-gram that is not as important, de-crease the funding to that program, in-crease the funding to this program.

Madam Chair, that is not the ap-proach the amendment takes.

We are now up to $22 million, if all the amendments pass that we have dis-cussed since just the last amendment vote—$22 million coming from the Sec-retary’s management account.

You know, this is having your cake and eating it too. This is saying: This is important, but I am not going to make the tough decision of what is less important. Because it is mythical to believe that we are going to cut $22 million out of a growing agency’s budg-et to manage that growing agency and not have an effect.

So, that is why I reluctantly rise to oppose it. Madam Chair, it is about pri-orities.

They send us to make the tough deci-sions. The tough decision isn’t to say: Here are all the things. Let’s go fund them all.

The tough decision is: This is what needs priority. And this does need pri-ority. The tough decision is asking what has less priority, not going to that magical, bottomless well of the Secretary’s management funds, be-cause, Madam Chair, we are up to $22 million. And that is just since this vote. I haven’t totaled up before the last vote series.

At some point, the Secretary is going to have to start taking out loans.

So, Madam Chair, again, I reluc-tantly rise to oppose the amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, it is not eating cake to want women to be safe in their homes and from their partners.

I know a lot about tough decisions and about priorities, and I have faced tough decisions about how to protect my own family. And I am proud that it is a priority of mine and of my Demo-cratic colleagues to support full fund-ing to stop intimate partner violence.

Madam Chair, I respectfully ask for the support of all of my colleagues in this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I join the gentlewoman from California in recognizing the incredible importance of this. I have stated that.

Having your cake and eating it too is not related specifically to this amend-ment, but the idea that we have been discussing now for 2 hours, that we have all these things that are good— they probably are priorities—but the tough decision is to find where we are going to—and not pretend that the Sec-retary’s management budget is an end-less well. That is just pretending.

Madam Chair, that is why 9 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Congress. Because, in our households, when we make a decision about a pri-ority to spend money on something here, we take it out of somewhere else where we are not going to spend money, and not make-believe stuff.

So, Madam Chair, again: Well inten-tioned, well needed. We need to set pri-orities, and then we need to find places to make the cuts to fund those prior-ities.

I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is

on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from California (Ms. POR-TER).




AMENDMENT NO. 67 OFFERED BY MS. PORTER The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order





Page 108, strike lines 8 through 11 and in-sert the following:

(1) Detailed monthly enrollment figures from the Exchanges established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 pertaining to enrollments during the open enrollment period, including State en-rollment figures disaggregated by race, eth-nicity, preferred language, age, and sex.



Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, I rise today to offer an amendment to the fis-cal year 2020 appropriations bill which would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide the Ap-propriations Committee with detailed monthly State enrollment figures.

My amendment requires that these figures include State enrollment num-bers, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, preferred language, age, and sex.

It is important to get detailed infor-mation on who is enrolling and who isn’t in ACA coverage. By under-standing trends, we can look for popu-lations that are being missed or under-served.

In particular, under this administra-tion, progress that we had made in re-ducing the uninsured population has stalled. According to the latest census data, in 2017, for the first time since the passage of the ACA, the Asian American uninsured rate remained vir-tually flat at 6.4 percent, while the Na-tive Hawaiian and Pacific Islander un-insured rate increased from 7.7 percent to 8.3 percent.

Previously, disparities in uninsurance rates among these com-munities had been eliminated because of coverage expansion from the ACA.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4621 June 12, 2019 Groups engaging in enrollment work

have fewer resources because of this administration and, therefore, must engage in more targeted and limited outreach.

Even further, this data is from 2017, before the administration launched even more aggressive attacks to dis-mantle our healthcare system after they failed to repeal it without a re-placement.

Our next census will show how the attacks of 2018 and 2019 will affect en-rollment numbers, but we need the in-formation that essential monthly en-rollment data can tell us long before the census is published.

By better understanding where gaps exist and in which groups we are seeing negative trends in insurance enroll-ment, we can better focus essential outreach and education. In particular, this will help organizations serving hard-to-reach populations and commu-nities of color.

While CMS has provided an annual detailed enrollment report, it has failed to provide more regular updates on enrollment during the year and also has failed to provide detailed enroll-ment data showing enrollment for race subgroups or data to show how people are enrolling.

This amendment would provide the necessary transparency into enroll-ment trends.

I am proud to represent a diverse dis-trict, and I came to Congress to serve and represent their needs. I hope this amendment will be an essential step forward to helping Congress and the country better understand how we are failing communities of color and how we can provide more accessible care.


Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the gentlewoman’s amendment, which adds this require-ment for monthly ACA enrollment in-formation to be disaggregated by race, ethnicity, preferred language, age, and sex.

The amendment will help States and their healthcare exchanges reach un-derserved and in-need populations that are not yet enrolled or are under-enrolled.

As the HHS’s Office of Minority Health said in 2017: ‘‘In the United States, it has been estimated that the combined cost of health disparities and subsequent deaths among racial and ethnic minorities due to inadequate and/or inequitable care is $1.24 tril-lion.’’

We need to do more to eliminate these disparities and improve access to healthcare. This amendment is part of our efforts to be able to do so, and I urge my colleagues to support the amendment.



Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there are a lot of wonderful things we can do, but here is the problem: Since the last vote series, we have actually cut manage-ment by $22 million, and now we expect them to do more.

This is wanting to have your cake and eat it too. Literally, this amend-ment causes the administration to have to spend more.

Look, that could be a priority, but, if we pass all the amendments that we have considered since 1 p.m.—1 a.m.—I am sorry—East Coast time when we had the last vote series, we have cut the Secretary’s ability by $22 million to do these things.

So you have got to choose: Do you want this, or do you want to cut the Secretary’s budget? This is what prior-ities are all about.

So, no matter how useful this could be, Madam Chair, I would urge my col-leagues, if we pass the amendments that cut tens of millions of dollars from management, then we can’t ac-complish this.


Ms. PORTER. Madam Chair, this amendment would ultimately save dol-lars, as explained by Chairwoman DELAURO. It would reduce uninsurance rates, particularly in populations that are receiving less care.

This is, ultimately, a bill that will reduce the costs of our healthcare sys-tem by making all of our communities healthier. It is a bill about equity, but it is also a financially responsible bill.

I urge my colleagues to support it, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, it is nice to believe that, somehow, if we put this language in, we are going to save money somehow.

This was the promise of the ACA: If we just insure more people, for in-stance, they won’t use the emergency room as much. Remember that?

Back in 2010, they said: Oh, we are using the emergency room a whole lot. All we have to do is pass the ACA and our emergency room usage will go down.

What happened? It went up 20 per-cent. Healthcare spending actually went up.

Now, look, having insurance is a good thing. No question about it. I am a physician. I get it. But, to say that we are going to save money by doing this—no. This is going to cost money because management has to obtain these figures.

If this was going to save money, this is easy. Let’s find someplace to pay for it rather than the Secretary’s account if it is this great money saver.

As useful as this could be, again, I would urge my colleagues: If we pass all the amendments, again, just the $22 million in cuts to management since the last vote series, we can’t afford this.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from California (Ms. POR-TER).




b 0330 AMENDMENT NO. 68 OFFERED BY MS. MUCARSEL-

POWELL The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.




The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL) and a Member opposed each will con-trol 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Florida.

Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I rise in support of my amend-ment, which would set aside a further $5 million for the Minority AIDS Ini-tiative Fund.

HIV/AIDS remains a major problem in this country, with approximately 1.1 million people currently living with the disease, 130,000 of whom reside in the State of Florida, and over 26,000 in Miami-Dade alone. It is estimated that there are 40,000 new diagnoses every year, with racial and ethnic minorities making up three of four new cases.

Despite advances in medicine and re-search and progress combating this issue nationwide, in Miami, this trend is going in the wrong direction. The rate of new diagnoses in the Miami area is three times the national aver-age, the highest rate of anywhere in the country.

It is critical that we devote the nec-essary resources to curb the spread of this disease and provide care for those living with HIV/AIDS. The Minority AIDS Initiative Fund plays a crucial role in addressing key health dispari-ties by bringing Federal, State, and community organizations together to test innovative solutions and address emerging needs in communities im-pacted by this epidemic.

My amendment will help support fur-ther efforts to improve access to HIV prevention and care services for racial and ethnic minorities. In its current capacity, the program supports more than 33 projects and 130 community partners across the country. This in-crease in funding would not only ex-pand on the successful initiatives, but

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4622 June 12, 2019 also support new ventures addressing the spread of HIV/AIDS in underserved populations.

For example, in my home district, the organization Prevention305 is help-ing combat this epidemic by increasing awareness of and access to PrEP medi-cation, a key tool that greatly reduces the spread of HIV.

It is critical that we continue to pro-vide for such innovative initiatives that help prevent the spread of this dis-ease and provide quality care for those infected by HIV/AIDS.

I ask my colleagues today to join me in the fight to end this epidemic once and for all and provide the relief to those living with or impacted by this disease.

Madam Chair, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from Con-necticut (Ms. DELAURO).

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I rise in support of the Congresswoman’s amendment. I commend Representa-tive MUCARSEL-POWELL for her work to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in mi-nority communities.

The additional funding in this amendment will help to address an epi-demic in communities most in need. Of all PrEP users, only 8 percent are Afri-can American, and only 9 percent are Hispanic. I might add that there is also a very low percentage of women who are able to access PrEP. There is a par-ticular lack of access in the south. And the cost of PrEP is exorbitant, in some cases, up to $13,000.

Only half of racial minorities living with HIV have a suppressed viral load. That is why the underlying Labor- HHS, Education bill that we considered tonight, or early morning, increases funding for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment activities by more than $500 million, including increases for the Ryan White program, to increase ac-cess to antiretroviral therapy, or ART, community health centers, to increase availability of pre-exposure prophy-laxis, or PrEP, and the CDC for preven-tion activities.

I support this amendment and, again, commend the gentlewoman for bring-ing it forward.

Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.



Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, here we go again. I mean, let’s play some more pretend.

Look, it’s 3:30 in the morning, Amer-ica is watching. This is why they have a 9 percent favorable rating of us.

The fact of the matter is, this whole budget is pretend. It pretends that our current statute, under the Budget Con-trol Act, isn’t at a billions of dollars lower level. So the committee pre-tended and said, we are going to pre-tend that the statute is something else, and we are going to spend all this

money, including over $500 million more for AIDS. Laudable. It is pretend though.

So what does this amendment do? It just pretends a little more. It pretends that we can take that $5 million be-cause, Madam Chair, this comes from that same fund. This is the Secretary’s management fund.

We are up to $27 million we have taken in just 21⁄2 short hours. This isn’t a bottomless well.

I get it. We want to make a point that—and look, congratulations to the President. The President’s State of the Union address, standing right on that podium, said that we have to have a struggle and a fight to end HIV/AIDS.

But you don’t do it by taking the money from the Secretary’s manage-ment fund, now up to $27 million in just 21⁄2 short hours. Find it somewhere else. If this is so important, find it somewhere else. Don’t play pretend.

We are not going to fool the Amer-ican people. When they make a budget decision today, they choose to do some-thing that they think is important. They choose not to do something that they think is less important. That is the way they expect us to act, not play pretend.

We have a $22 trillion debt, a $1 tril-lion deficit, and we are playing pretend at 3:30 in the morning. No wonder we have a 9 percent favorable rating. No wonder Americans don’t trust Con-gress, because they know we make this stuff up.


The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tlewoman from Florida (Ms. MUCARSEL-POWELL).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Florida will be postponed.

The Chair understands that amend-ment No. 69 will not be offered.

AMENDMENT NO. 70 OFFERED BY MR. LEVIN OF MICHIGAN


Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.





The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. LEVIN) and a Mem-ber opposed each will control 5 min-utes.

The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan.

Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I am proud to be joined by 11 of my colleagues from the Committee on Education and Labor in presenting this amendment, which would increase funding for the Department of Edu-cation’s Office of Inspector General, or the EDOIG, by $4 million dollars.

EDOIG conducts independent and ob-jective audits, investigations, and other activities to promote the effi-ciency, effectiveness, and integrity of the Department.

This office helps prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse, and that work is as important now as it has ever been, especially since the Department of Education has violated the law on three different occasions under this ad-ministration.

Just last year, a Federal court ruled that the Department’s actions during the rollback of a loan-relief plan, had violated Federal privacy law.

The Department also violated the Administrative Procedures Act by arbi-trarily refusing to discharge the stu-dent loan payments of borrowers who attended Corinthian College, a for-prof-it university accused of predatory lend-ing.

And recently, the Department ille-gally delayed Obama-era regulations governing online colleges, without con-ducting the legally-required negotiated rulemaking.

We insist upon the utmost integrity at the Department entrusted with the education of our children, and this amendment will make sure that OIG has the resources and staff it needs to do its critical work.

I would like to reiterate my grati-tude to my Education and Labor Com-mittee colleagues who joined me as co-sponsors of this amendment. And I would also like to thank Chairman BOBBY SCOTT and his team for his vi-sionary leadership of our work on be-half of students, families, workers, and all Americans.

I also thank Chairwoman DELAURO and Chairwoman LOWEY for working with me on this, and for their leader-ship on this bill which prioritizes fund-ing for programs that provide opportu-nities for millions of American fami-lies. Many of those programs have been shortchanged in recent years, and that will no longer be the case, thanks to the gentlewomen’s leadership.

I urge my colleagues to support this amendment.

Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO), my esteemed col-league.

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I rise in support of his amendment.

The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to ‘‘conduct independent and objective audits, investigations, and other activities to promote the effi-ciency, effectiveness, and integrity of the Department’s programs and oper-ations.’’

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE H4623 June 12, 2019 We must insist on a strong ethical

framework and invest in robust over-sight of our Federal Government. That is why I am pleased to say that the un-derlying Labor-HHS bill provides an in-crease of $2.3 million, for a total of $63.4 million for the OIG.

Over the past several years, we have witnessed a collapse of predatory for- profit colleges; publicly-traded Corin-thian and ITT Technical Institutes were among them.

The Department of Education Inspec-tor General issued an audit report that evaluated the ways in which the De-partment is monitoring these institu-tions. It concluded that the existing Borrower Defense regulation will help the Department better mitigate poten-tial harm to students and taxpayers.

It is critical that we heed the infor-mation and recommendations that come from these reports, and we must protect the integrity of the Borrower Defense rule. It uncovered the mis-management and the lack of oversight of the student loan serving industry by the Federal Student Loan Office, harm-ing millions of students across this country.

The work carried out every day by the OIG across agencies is fundamental to maintaining the integrity and the efficiency of our government programs.

I commend the gentleman, and I am happy to accept this amendment.

Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I want to commend my col-league from Connecticut, on behalf of the entire freshman class, for her in-credible leadership on this bill.

I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I rise in

opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman

from Maryland is recognized for 5 min-utes.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, well, we finally have a prioritization here. This amendment actually takes money from one program that it thinks is not as important and puts it in another pro-gram it thinks is underfunded. But that is interesting because, look, the Inspector Generals are very important.

God knows the Inspector General over at Justice is doing a very impor-tant job right now. He has got to look into what the heck went on over in the senior levels of the Department of Jus-tice that resulted in that Steele dos-sier, paid for by a campaign, actually ending up causing an investigation dur-ing a political campaign. Oh, those In-spector Generals are important. I will agree with on you that.

But this bill already increases the funding of the Inspector General by 4 percent, higher than inflation. The bill already has an increase.

Most people would think that is enough. Most Americans, if they got a 4 percent increase in their paycheck, they would go, wow, this is great. This is more than inflation. We want to do a little more.

But that is not the problem with this. It is where the money comes

from. You see, because the money comes from already-reduced funding at the Office of Labor Management Stand-ards.

So what is the Office of Labor Man-agement because, you know, Madam Chair, we have—at 3:45 Eastern Time we probably don’t have millions of peo-ple watching, but we have Americans watching who might be asking, what is this Office of Labor Management?

This is the one that actually sees that unions are following the rules.

b 0345

Now, that is actually pretty impor-tant now, because there was a major Supreme Court decision called Janus last year that actually said that unions can’t force their members to pay dues for political purposes. That is a broad, new responsibility.

So the fact of the matter is that the Supreme Court has basically said there is this broad, new responsibility for the Office of Labor-Management Standards because, Madam Chair, we already have reports of how unions are kind of gam-ing this and not really complying with the Supreme Court. The committee al-ready cut it.

Madam Chair, I do commend the gen-tleman, because if he has been here a while—well, he may not have been here for the last couple of hours, but I have said, look, when we fund one program more, we have got to fund another pro-gram less. Madam Chair, I congratu-late the gentleman for doing it.

I just disagree with what the gen-tleman wants to fund less, because this is critical, because American workers who don’t believe in the politics of what their union is promoting shouldn’t be forced to pay for that po-litical advocacy. Janus was clear on that.

It is also clear that unions are trying to get around that, and the enforce-ment is through the Office of Labor- Management Standards.

We should be increasing this, not de-creasing it as it was in the baseline budget, and certainly not decreasing it further, as the gentleman has proposed.


Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, may I inquire how much time I have remaining.

The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 15 seconds remaining.

Mr. LEVIN of Michigan. Madam Chair, I will close.

I will use my last 10 seconds to tell the gentleman that the Janus decision was nothing about people not paying dues. Unions have not been allowed to make people pay dues for 60 years in this country. It was about not having workers pay their fair share for serv-ices that unions are forced to provide them under U.S. law.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I stand corrected. The gentleman is absolutely right. It is the unions actually forcing

nonunion members to pay. And it is equally egregious. It equally is en-forced under this, and that is why I op-pose it. We should actually be increas-ing the funds.

Again, I congratulate the gentleman for setting priorities. I just disagree with his priorities.

Madam Chair, I urge the Members to oppose the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gen-tleman from Michigan (Mr. LEVIN).



The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further pro-ceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan will be postponed. AMENDMENT NO. 71 OFFERED BY MS. PRESSLEY The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order


Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.





The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 431, the gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. PRESSLEY) and a Member opposed each will con-trol 5 minutes.

The Chair recognizes the gentle-woman from Massachusetts.

Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, a school nurse saved my life. Throughout grade school, I was a frequent flier at the nurse’s office, not because any-thing was physically wrong with me, but because the nurse’s office was a place of refuge from the destabilizing, predatory abuse that I was experi-encing at the hands of people charged with my care.

Instability, abuse, food insecurity, and violence are serious systemic issues that are significant barriers to learning. Trauma is a barrier to learn-ing.

According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, more than 25 percent of American youth experi-ence a serious traumatic event—such as sexual abuse, community violence, displacement—by their 16th birthday, and many children suffer multiple and repeated traumas.

Health and education are inex-tricably linked, and it remains one of the greatest public health challenges of our time.

As a Boston city councilor, I fought for equitable access to school nurses in the Boston Public Schools system, and as a Member of Congress, I plan to do the same.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSEH4624 June 12, 2019 to support school-based health centers, a critical safety net for our Nation’s youth.

School-based health centers provide excellent, accessible, trusted healthcare and information for stu-dents.

I firmly believe students who are present and healthy are best prepared and able to learn. That is true for chil-dren across my own district in the Massachusetts Seventh and all dis-tricts throughout our country.

Today, nearly 4 million children are uninsured and lack access to necessary healthcare services. There are children living in poverty for whom school- based health centers and nurses are their only source of accessible primary and mental healthcare.

Rates of suicide, childhood chronic illness, and community gun violence are on the rise. This is a public health crisis. It is downright irresponsible, un-conscionable for us to ignore it.

In addition to funding high-quality and accessible healthcare, my amend-ment leverages the safety and conven-ience of neighborhood schools, like those across the Massachusetts Sev-enth, to improve the health and well- being of students and help families ac-cess the quality healthcare they need.

School-based health centers provide comprehensive healthcare to children and young people in a setting that they trust, a setting that is familiar, and a setting that is accessible at their school.

It was a school nurse who picked up on the signs. Like so many children, some act out and some shut down, and I was one of those who shut down. Were it not for a school nurse who saw the signs that I was exhibiting of distress and trauma, I doubt that I would be here standing before you today.

There are young people like Sofia, a junior at a Boston public high school whom I spoke with recently, who vis-ited the school nurse and revealed that she was depressed, suicidal, and miss-ing school. The proximity to the school nurse’s staff made her feel safe and lis-tened to, and they helped her brain-storm ways to talk to her parents. Within a week, she was in school-based counseling, with the consent of her parents, as well as working to manage her assignments.

Unfortunately, Sofia’s story isn’t unique. There are many students who struggle under the weight of mental health and trauma every day.

It was a former Surgeon General who once said: ‘‘We can’t educate children who are not healthy, and we can’t keep them healthy if they aren’t educated.’’

It is our moral imperative to support children in their health and wholeness. My amendment asks Congress to do the right thing, the smart thing, and in-vest in school-based health centers to improve the health and well-being of our Nation’s youth.

Madam Chair, I yield 45 seconds to the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DELAURO).

Ms. DELAURO. Madam Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I rise in support of her amendment. I will take less than 45 seconds.

Madam Chair, my view and what I think this amendment does is it fur-ther increases resources for the Health Centers program. The underlying bill is $50 million, but it expands it to provide the opportunity for school-based care.

What we need in this Nation is men-tal health services in every school in this Nation to be able to recognize tell-tale signs of adverse effects that chil-dren are experiencing, whether it be trauma, whether it be food insecurity, whether it be violence or abuse, in order to be able to prevent what could happen as a result of those adverse ex-periences.

Madam Chair, I support the gentle-woman’s amendment.

Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I re-serve the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, I claim the time in opposition to the amend-ment.


Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, there is no arguing that these programs are im-portant, but, again, we have to set pri-orities.

This doesn’t say this program is im-portant, and this other one is less im-portant so we are going to take money from it. In fact, it takes money from CMS management.

Now, that is kind of interesting, be-cause I have a lot of seniors in my dis-trict who depend upon Medicare being administered properly.

Thirteen thousand seniors enter Medicare every day, and what this amendment does is cut the funding to HHS that oversees the management of CMS, oversees the management of those 13,000 people entering Medicare every day.

I have no argument with these school health programs. They are important. But if they are important, then we have to choose what is less important.

I wouldn’t have chosen, certainly, the management of the Medicare pro-gram. I think the seniors in my district would beg to differ that that is a good priority choice.

For that reason, Madam Chair, I re-luctantly oppose the amendment be-cause it doesn’t set the priorities that need to be set, despite how important they are.

Madam Chair, I thank the gentle-woman from Massachusetts for recog-nizing the importance of these pro-grams.


Ms. PRESSLEY. Madam Chair, I could argue that this amendment will actually find administrative savings to cover healthcare costs.

Further, it has been my experience that the elders and the grandparents I work with are deeply concerned about the state of their grandchildren and

the growing chronic illness, mental health, substance abuse issues, rates of suicide.

Furthermore, persistent disparities exist in my district and districts throughout the country where ZIP Code determines your health outcomes.

Children in Dorchester are two times more likely to be hospitalized, three times more for asthma, than children in more affluent parts of my district.

We should leverage every tool avail-able to us to ensure that all children, regardless of where they live, have ac-cess to the health services they need to thrive.

Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. HARRIS. Madam Chair, again, I am not going to argue about the impor-tance of the clinics, but to somehow suggest that a program that is a com-plete subsidy program—Madam Chair, all we have to do is just read. This is, again, why the American people just have to read the amendment.

The amendment doesn’t say anything about forcing administrative savings. It says we are going to administra-tively cut. It doesn’t suggest how sav-ings are going to be found.

Again, it is important to get that $5 million for this program, but for heav-en’s sake, the fact of the matter is we have to make priority decisions. I would offer that cutting the adminis-tration for Medicare, when we take 13,000 people into the program every day, is not the proper offset for this.
