President , on march 31 of this year, my two friends, senator joe manchin and senator mark kelly wrote to joe biden to request, we are writing to urge you to develop and implement a fiveyear oil and Gas Production in the gulf of mexico. My amendment would fulfill that request and make it a congressional directive. A senator mr. President. The presiding officer the senator from hawaii. Mr. Schatz this would be in addition to the leasing required in this bill with 75 of offshore acres not used.

The clerk the senator from florida, mr. Rubio, a bill mr. Rubio i ask consent the reading be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Rubio i dont think i need to tell anybody here. Our work is at its best when its focused on what people care about. Let me tell you what people care about. They dont care much about buying solar panels as much as they do not having to live in a community where Violent Crime is rampant and you have a crazy prosecutor that refuses to prosecute entire categories of crime. People are worried about that and rightfully so. We have these beautiful cities that were once world class cities that are becoming unlivable all over this country because we have these lunatic prosecutors that have decided entire categories of crime they will not prosecute. Thats the kind of stuff we should be working on here tonight, all night long. You going to spend all night working on something, work on that. Dont waste time on stuff that doesnt matter to real people working every single day who are not going to be driving an electric car next year or the year after that but they might get mugged. But they might be a victim of a Violent Crime. What this does it sends to the Judiciary Committee and asks them in three days come back with some ideas about how you can spend just a little bit of these billions of dollars that were throwing away on this garbage, how we can spend a little bit of that money to put criminals in jail so americans no longer have to live in fear in their communities. The presiding officer the majority whip. Mr. Durbin the senior senator from florida says we should stop our efforts on reconciliation until we put money in Law Enforcement. So we checked the record. When we put billions in local communities for Law Enforcement and the American Rescue plan, the senior senator from florida voted no. And when it came to the omnibus bill and burn grants and cops money, the local organizations and Law Enforcement needed so they can be stronger and fight crime, 31 republicans voted no, including the senior senator from florida. So i would suggest we vote no on his amendment. Mr. Rubio i have time remaining. The presiding officer the senators time is expired. The question is on the motion. Is there a sufficient second . There appears to be. The clerk will call the roll. Vote vote the presiding officer the yeas are 50, the nays are 50. The motion is not agreed to o to. The majority whip.

Further, that the sanders amendment 5208 occur foulage the scott motion to commit and sanders 5281 foaling the daines amendment 5425. The presiding officer is there objection . Without objection. Mr. Lee mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from utah. Mr. Lee i call up my amendment number 5316 and ask that it be reported by number. The presiding officer the clerk will report. The clerk the senator from utah, mr. Lee proposes an enemy 5316. Mr. Lee across the nation local governments are having youing to support their constituents. These frontline Public Servants provide for the safety and wellbeing of their friends and neighbors, typically using funds derived from local property taxes. However,ness many counties however, in many counties, these federal neighbors of sort sos draw heavily on the resources made available by these local government oz. Rescuing hikers, addressing forest fires, these are just a few of the Vital Services that these communities the presiding officer the senate will be in order. The senator from utah. Mr. Lee these are just a few of the services that these communities provide, even though they receive little to know exception for them. So my amendment would institute a supplemental pilt program, an additional pilt payment increasing funds by nearly 10 . It would not make these communities completely whole by providing true tax equivalency but it would make a huge difference. If americans want to continue to enjoy our parks, forests and general landscape, we must ensure that this program, pilt, continues to serve as a reliable source of income were federal lands subject to property tax. I urge my colleagues to the senator amendment. To support this amendment. Mr. Van hollen i urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. This would take out one of the provisions in the bill which will directly help homeowners save money on their heating bills and cooling bills. And it does so by giving them a rebate for Home Energy Efficiency improvements and then theyll save for the rest of their lives in their home. I also find it a little ironic that this would put money in local governments which our republican colleagues have said receive too much money under the American Rescue plan and youve been trying to claw that back. So i would urge my colleagues to stick with the provision in the bill. Its an important part of the bill to both provide consumers with savings and to address the climate crisis. I urge my colleagues to reject the amendment. Mr. Lee i call for the yeas and nays. Officers officer is there a sufficient second . There appears to be. Vote
