This list will include a series of bills to honor our nations veterans. With memorial day around the corner, it is important for this house to show our appreciation to those who have defended our freedoms. Especially the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. Mr. Speaker, next week the house is combating Human Trafficking and Child Protection week. In addition to a series of suspensions, the house will consider h. R. 1973, the protecting young victims from sexual abuse act, sponsored by representative susan brooks. This bill would require prompt reporting of suspected cases of abuse, as well as implementation of procedures for addressing such allegationses. We will also consider h. R. 1761, the protecting against Child Exploitation act, sponsored by representative mike johnson. This bill would protect victims of sexual aby ensuring that predators who send explicit contact are subject to appropriate punishment. Mr. Speaker, Human Trafficking is an incredulous, serious issue in our nation. With the passage of these bipartisan bills, which wwe will show our continued we will show our continued commitment to ending this modern day form of slavery while supporting an assisting all survivors. Lastly, mr. Speaker, the house will consider h. R. 953, the reducing regulatory burdens act sponsoreded by representative bob gibbs. My district is home to many hardworking farmers. So i know this issue quite well. This bill will reduce red tape that makes it more costly for farmers to protect their crops and our nations food supply. In addition, the c. D. C. Reports that there are still 119 cases of individuals with zika in the United States. And 495 cases in u. S. Territories. With the Summer Season approaching, this bill len sure we can use pesticides to control bill will ensure we can use pesticides to control mosquitos. Finally, mr. Speaker, i want to take a moment to thank a true public servant. Next week brian coop already retire from the house particle men cooper will retire from the house parliamentarians office after 35 years on capitol hill. Brian is a professional in every sense of the word. Much of his work is done behind the scenes but it has not gone unnoticed. From time keeping to processing bills, to preparing for joint sessions, brian has made sure this body works in an orderly and fair way. Now it is my understanding that even my predecessor, bill thomas, could not challenge brians time keeping. On behalf of all those on this side of the aisle, we wish you well in your retirement, brian. And from a very grateful nation for your service. Im sure you are ready to trade late nights on this floor for late nights watching the orioles play baseball. With that, i yield to my friend. Mr. Hoyer i thank the gentleman from california. And i want to join him in thanking our colleague, brian coop aer. Now, brian cooper. Now, im not sure that, brian, that i adopt the sentiments of the majority leader with respect to what mr. Thomas could and could not do. Apparently he chose not to. Thats good. But brian cooper, we want to thank you for your service to this house. 3 1 2 century decades of service to this house. 3 1 2 decades of service to this house in a role that most people, including members of this house, would not recognize, but that is critically important to the Good Management and flow of the peoples business through this house. As the majority leader referenced, he will be continuing to root for the Baltimore Orioles because he is from baltimore. So hes a marylander and were very proud of him and i want to thank him for his service and wish him the very best in the days ahead. I now will go to the schedule. By law, under the budget, the control act, a budget is supposed to be brought to this floor on april 15. The majority leader would quickly observe that neither republicans democrats have met that deadline. However, we are unusually late in the budget process in my view. Despite months of promising to return to regular order, we have not yet done so as it relates to the budget. The budget has not been marked up in committee. Monday marked the statutory day by which the Appropriations Committee no longer has to wait to bring bills to the floor of the house, because the majority has failed to meet its obligation to pass a budget on time. Again i want to quickly note that both parties have failed to meet that deadline in times past. But i cannot remember us being session in is getting to the appropriations process. Because theres been no direction from the administration as to what their Budget Priorities should be. Other than the skinny budget which was sent down which every member of my party thought was an unrealistic, unadoptable and unworthy Budget Priority document. If it were to be adopted, the security of the United States, both abroad and at home, would e put at substantial risk. Mr. Majority leader, can you provide some indication think . Know its not on the floor next week, and i want to say that i join with the majority leader. The issue of Human Trafficking is one of the Critical Issues that confronts us as a country and the global community. It puts millions of young women and young men at risk. And not so young men and women at risk on a daily basis. It is appropriate that we deal with this issue. Hopefully we will deal with it as the majority leader said in a bipartisan fashion. And that we will produce more effective ways to stop and to hold accountable those who put human beings at risk by human slavery. Can the gentleman tell me when the Budget Committee will mark up a budget and when we will have such a budget considered on the ploor . I yield to my friend floor . I yield to my friend. Mr. Mccarthy i thank my friend for yielding. As my friend knows, we do expect to receive the formal budget request from the president next week. Which, as my friend also knows, that is common for the first ear of a new administration. Now, as the gentleman said, maybe this is later, but this is the latest in the history of america that any president has had to wait for a cabinet. Its always helpful. He still has many more people to be feeled and confirmed. As that progresses, i think actions will be able to moved forward even faster. As in tradition, the Budget Committee has announced its intention to host o. M. B. Irector. The committee is looking forward to marking up bills through heg order. As soon as action is scheduled for the floor, the gentleman will know that i will note fight those if favor will vote aye all members. I thank him and yield will notify all members. I thank him and yield back. Mr. Hoyer i thank the gentleman. With respect to the appropriations process, as the gentleman knows, there are 12 discrete appropriation bills dealing with National Security and domestic spending. Can the gentleman tell me whether or not we still intend o consider on a timely basis discretely, that is, one at a time, the 12 appropriation bills . I dont think any of them have been marked up as of this point in time. Obviously not having a budget would preclude that from happening. I understand that. As the gentleman knows, and i know from experience of serving on the appropriationses process, that frankly it was at the eginning of this month historically that we would start to mark up appropriation bills with the intent to use much of june and july for the purpose of passing appropriation bills, so that we might send them to the senate for consideration and have some chance of getting them done prior to the expiration of the fiscal year on september 306789 does the gentleman anticipate we 30. Does the gentleman anticipate we will be considering separately the 12 appropriation bills between now and the august break . I yield to my friend. Mr. Mccarthy i thank the gentleman for yielding. The gentleman will be happy to know that appropriations has already held 47 hearings dealing with f. Y. 2018. So, as we receive the president s budget and able to ask questions to the o. M. B. Director, we will continue to move forward. But it is our intention always to go through regular order and in all cases if possible individually down onto the floor. I yield back. Mr. Hoyer i hope that we do in fact get that done. Mr. Leader, i was shocked learn that the process, that from my perspective and our sides perspective was extraordinarily accelerated, undermining the opportunity for careful and thorough consideration. The bill that is known as the American Health care act, or otherwise known as the bill to attempt to repeal the Affordable Care act. That bill, as the gentleman knows, was introduced on march 6. Not a single hearing. And was marked up less than two full days later in the ways and Means Committee on march 8. It was marked up on march 8 and 9 in the energy and commerce committee. In the Budget Committee, on march 16, on the rules committee on march 22, and on brought to the floor with a c. B. O. Score on march 23. In order, in my view, mr. Speaker, moved so quickly that no one could have given it thoughtful consideration. In fact, mr. Speaker, on march 24, that bill was brought to the floor, was subjected to some ebate and then was pulled. The judgment was made that apparently it was not ready for primetime. That bill was then brought back to the floor some twoplus weeks about two weeks later, on thursday, may 4, of this year. It was passed on a thursday, notwithstanding the fact it had not been noted for consideration on thursday at the beginning of the week, or in the week prior. It passed on a vote of 217 to 213 217213. With a significant number of republicans voting against it. And a significant number of republicans who voted for it saying, no, i havent read the bill in response to inquirieses from the press. That afternoon, mr. Speaker, there were buses out in front of the capitol to take my republican colleagues down to the white house to cheer its passage. An accomplishment of what our republican colleagues had pledged for six years. Mr. Speaker, you can imagine my shock, chagrin and surprise when i learned yesterday that bill has not gone to the senate. Apparently its gone from one chair to maybe the other chair. In the desks before me. It has been held, mr. Speaker, it has been held because there was no c. B. O. Score to ensure that in fact it complied with the rules. A lot of talk about regular order, mr. Speaker. So the bill that was cheered at the white house, the president saying, im so glad this passed, apparently may not have passed this house in a form that is consistent with the rules. And so my colleagues, i want you to know that you may have think you passed the bill thinked you passed the bill, but it is still here, two weeks later. Im not sure, mr. Speaker, why we couldnt have waited for a c. B. O. Score, other than the political imperative of going home and having members be able o say, we passed the bill. Its still here, folks. Its still within the boss om of the house bus umof the house bossom of the house. Warmly embraced. Aging. Unfortunately not to perfection. I would ask the majority leader, when might we pass this bill . Is the bill going to have another hearing . Are we going to wait for the c. B. O. Score . And will another vote be thessary to, again, confirm 217213 votes . And i will not ask you whether or not you think you still have 217 votes. But let me ask you, when might this bill be considered again on this floor . And when might this bill go to the United States senate, as everybody thought it had on the fourth of may . I yield to my friend, the majority leader, mr. Speaker. Mr. Mccarthy i thank the gentleman for yielding and his long question. Let me first mr. Hoyer but he got the point, im sure. Mr. Mccarthy let me answer the points you have made because i want history to be written correctly. First of all, you were shocked. I dont know why you were shocked. I thought you were going to say you were shocked that that exact same week, when you read the paper, that 94 counties out of 99 in iowa would have no health care if obamacare continued to go forward. I thought that would have hocked you. Then when you wanted to shocked you. Then when you wanted to put dates down and talk about 113 gs, we had more than hearings. Thats more than the number of hearings you had for obamacare. Ur bill is less than 150 pages thats thousands of pages less than obamacare. You talk of c. B. O. , you knowing lino knowingly know that c. B. O. Scored this bill. Those eight pageses of amendments you were shocked by, you shouldnt be shocked to know the rules of the house. You do not move a
