The chair understands that amendment number 70 will not be offered. Its now in order to consider amendment 71 printed in part f of house report 118216. For what purpose does the gentleman from yank seek recognition . Mr. Chairman, i have an amendment at the desk. The chair the clerk will designate the amendment. The clerk amendment 71 printed in part f of 116216 offered by ms. Hageman of wyoming. The chair pursuant to House Resolution 273, ms. Hageman and a member opposed will control five minutes. The chair recognizes the gentlewoman from wyoming. Mr. Hagueman thank you, i rise in amendment to 71 to h. R. 4368 which prevents american tax dollars from being used to fund the World Health Organization. In the bill currently before us, the f. D. A. Is seeking to provide funding to the w. H. O. To advance and expand tobacco product regulation under the Building Research capacity in Global Tobacco product regulation grant program. The United States has consistently been the largest contributor to the w. H. O. In the world, topping the charts in 2020 at over 116 million dollars, nearly twice as much as china who contributed about 12 of the organizations total that same year. This is the same w. H. O. Who refused to act on or publicize warnings from taiwan that the new respiratory infection now known as covid19 was a threat to humans. They instead chose to echo the lies coming out of china there was no evidence of humantohuman transmission. Mr. Chairman, my constituents sent me to washington, d. C. With the mandate to stop sending taxpayer dollars to the w. H. O. , an entity which covers for the c. C. P. , helped cover up the covid outbreak and routinely attempts infringe on the sovereignty of americans in furtherance of its globalist agenda. I say this to repeat that the American People rightly know the w. H. O. Is a corrupt organization which bends to the Chinese Communist party and does not deserve a cent of the american tax dollars no matter through which account this money is distributed and i reserve. The chair the gentlelady reserves. For what purpose does the gentleman from georgia rise . Mr. Bishop i rise to claim time in opposition to this amendment. The chair the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. Mr. Bishop this amendment is misplaced in the agriculture appropriations bill. This amendment is simply bad policy. Were still fighting the lingering effects of a once in a lifetime pandemic and attempts to cut funding to the World Health Organization would hamper work to monitor any new variants of covid19. Moreover, the World Health Organizations work extend far beyond just responding to covid. Cutting funds for the World Health Organization will affect efforts on other diseases and illnesses including polio or the flu. Efforts to disengage with the w. H. O. Through our bill are misguided and do nothing to address any concerns about accountability, transparency, or efficiency. Its not a good amendment and urge its defeat and reserve the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman reserves. The gentlewoman from wyoming is recognized. Ms. Hageman i yield two minutes to the gentlelady from indiana. The chair the gentlelady is recognized. Thank you, mr. Chairman, i rise in support of the amendment and thank the gentlelady for yielding and for her leadership on this issue. I share the concerns of many of my constituents with respect to the World Health Organization or the w. H. O. , particularly with respect to the recent track record related to the covid19 pandemic. In fact, i supported president trumps efforts to remove the United States from the w. H. O. , our tax dollars are precious. Tax dollars should only be spent on necessary programs and necessary programs only. We should be prioritizing our limited resources within organizations that have a track record of delivering for the American People. Frankly, based on the w. H. O. s own record, i struggle to say the w. H. O. Fits into that category. Weve had to make a lot of tough decisions about what to spend taxpayer dollars on, about what to cut and whatnot to cut. An International Organization with a dangerous record of protecting the world from the spread of diseases just does not meet the simple threshold. Our american taxpayers getting what theyre paying for . Again, i thank the gentlelady from wyoming for her efforts to bring this to the floor and urge my colleagues to support this amendment and yield back the balance of my time. The chair the gentlelady yields. Ms. Hageman i reserve. The chair the gentlelady from wyoming is recognized. Ms. Hageman i reserve my time. The chair the gentleman from georgia is recognized. Mr. Bishop i yield back. The chair the gentleman yields back. The gentlelady from wyoming is recognized. Ms. Hageman im ready to close. Its not in the interest of the americans to have their tax dollars going towards a program that studies the Health Burden of tobacco in other countries. This is simply an attempt to export the federal nanny state through other countries through one of the most corrupt International Organizations ever known. What we should be focusing on is domestic deregulation not global governance. After everything weve been through the last few years, after witnessing the w. H. O. s complete and uterine competence during the spread of covid19, after witnessing them turn a blind eye time and time again to the c. C. P. s culpability you think we would have learned the american tax dollars should go to the american priorities and not the priorities of our adversaries. Having any funding for the w. H. O. To any appropriations bill is inconsistent with the stated goal of the 118th congress to defund the w. H. O. Completely. They are a failed puppet organization of communist china. I urge my colleagues on both side of the aisles to support my amendment and thank you, mr. Chairman, i reserve. The chair the gentlelady has the only time remaining. Ms. Hageman again, i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. Thank you. And i yield. The chair the question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from wyoming. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it, the amendment is agreed to. Now printed in order amendment 72 printed in part f of house report 118216. For what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas seek recognition . Mr. Chair i have an amendment at the desk. The chair the clerk will designate the amendment. The clerk amendment 72 printed in part f of house report 118216, offered by mr. Crawford of arkansas. The chair pursuant to House Resolution 723, the gentleman from arkansas, mr. Crawford, and a member opposed will control five minutes. The chair recognizes the gentleman from arkansas. Mr. Crawford im offering this amendment because we need a conversation about the usda Staffing Levels that resulted as a result of covid19. It offers 2,000 offices around the country and the mission is to serve all farmers and ag partners through the delivery of efficient agricultural programs such as commodity support programs, farm ownership and operating emergency loans, Disaster Assistance and other adhoc Disaster Assistance programs. One of the f. S. A. s greatest strengths is the grassroots Delivery System of farm programs to the agencys customerses meaning f. S. A. s customers are delivered through a Extensive Network of local f. S. A. Employees. County committees comprised of farmers in the local area are in charge of delivering services to the farming community. This local oversight of farm programs enables f. S. A. To obtain close relationship with farmers and address their needs in a timely manner and improve the integrity of farm programs and provide agriculture with the tools they need to produce the worlds best ag products. Unfortunately f. S. A. County Office Footprint have been impacted by requirements and unable to attract talent and the f. S. A. Staff is one of the main reason for delays. Sadly the covid19 pandemic made a bad situation worse at f. S. A. But the pandemic is over and we must continue bringing our federal, state and local work forces back in the office and and refill positions lost during the pandemic and also means putting an effective end to any offices that may still be operating on a closed or hybrid schedule related to covid19. We cannot afford to have f. S. A. Understaffed or teleworking and expected to provide the service needed on the farm and is a disservice to farmers everywhere and long pastime we had a conversation why we cant get farmers and ranchers the basic help we need and i hear from farmers and ranchers how they have problems contacting their local f. S. A. Offices and how they never receive a response after multiple inquiries. The chair house will be in order, please. Please carry your conversations outside. You may continue. Mr. Crawford thats not farm service. This amendment finally ends the covid19 pandemic and f. S. A. Offices but highlights the need for the department of agriculture to focus on maintaining f. S. A. s county Office Footprint and delivering farm programs. I call on my colleagues to support my amendment in returning our f. S. A. County agents to work and urge the secretary of agriculture to take action by adequately staffing f. S. A. County offices. I thank the chairman and reserve the balance of my time. The chair the gentleman from reserves. For what purpose does mr. Bishop from georgia rise. Mr. Bishop i rise to claim op position. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Bishop this amendment would prevent the closing of the Farm Services agency for any reason, although it mentions covid19, the prohibition amendment would not be limited to closings related to covid. It is of the clear proviso lines 810 of the bill being considered where it says provided further that none of the Funds Available to the Farm Service Agency shall be used to close Farm Service Agency county offices. Therefore, this amendment is unnecessary because it would create a restriction that the legislation already contains. We dont know what the future of covid or any future pandemic or disaster may hold so we shouldnt impose such a broad restriction and this is i urge s reserve. The chair the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from arkansas. Mr. Crawford we can say this is a good amendment because it contains language that sounds like he actually supports. So with that, i reserve. The chair the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from georgia. Mr. Bishop i yield back. The chair the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from arkansas. I urge adoption. The chair the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from arkansas. Those in favor, say aye. Those opposed, no. In the pip of the chair, the ayes have it and the amendment is agreed to. The chair for what purpose does the gentleman from. Comer the gentlewoman from florida seek recognition initiation . Mrs. Cammack i have an amendment at the desk. The clerk amendment number 73 printed in part f printed in house report 118216. The chair pursuant to House Resolution 723, the gentlewoman from florida, mrs. Cammack, each will control five minutes. Mrs. Cammack i rise in support of my amendment which would restrict taxpayer funds to finalized any rule or regulation that will result an effect on the economy of 100 million at the department ofagriculture. The president added more than 300 billion in new regulatory costs. The new rules in his first two years required 193 million hours of compliance to comply with new regular you layings. This proposal would restrict any regulatory actions from usda without going into effect. Our farmers and ranchers have enough to deal with market disasters, trade issues, the list goes on. The ranchers and producers shouldnt have to worry about the environment. These costly regular you layings harm consumers who pay higher prices. These major rules and regulations are a ways to circumvent congress on policy decisions to implement the political will. We must reassert our constitutional role. It doesnt matter if it is a democrat or republican in the white house, the American People shouldnt be burdened by and forced to pay by the oversummer burdensome regulations. And we certainly can cut spending. But until we change the way we do business and this amendment does this, we will not change a thing. I urge passage. Mr. Bishop i rise in opposition to this amendment. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Bishop it prohibits the administration from finalizing any rule for significant impact. The amendment aimed at tying the administrations hands when it comes to carrying out the laws passed by congress. It will stop f. D. A. From final liesing regulations to keep the environment healthy and markets stable. This amendment has little to do with the appropriations bill and less to do with supporting farmers. While i can understand the gentleladys intentions, i must oppose the amendment and urge my colleagues to do the same. I reserve. The chair the gentleman reserves. The chair recognizes the gentlelady from florida. Mrs. Cammack i disagree with my colleague. I cant think of a Single Member who would give up their constitutional oversight responsibilities that their constituents sent them up here. We need to reassert Article One Authority and be mindful of the costs thatrd burdening our constituents. I reserve. The chair the gentleman from georgia. Mr. Bishop i yield back. The chair the gentleman yields. The gentlewoman from florida. Mrs. Cammack i urge adoption of this amendment. The chair the question is on the amendment offered by gentlelady from florida. Those in favor, say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the amen
