a senator: madam e presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. schmitt: i move to concur in the house amendment to the senate amendment with my amendment 1626. the presidcer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from missouri mr. schmitt moves to concur in the house amendment to the senate amendment with an 1626. the presiding officer: there will now be two minutes for debate equally divided. mr. schmitt: thank you, madam president. i'll be brief and sort of walk through this a good government amendment that i hope that everybody can get behind. the house omnibus includes a provisionntaa to capture $337 million in iij funding -- to expand its brushg. just to sort of walk through this. under the infrastructure act, there was$42 billion for administrative costs. that's $850 million. that money, as it relates to the
6:12 pm
beads program, because it's pretty diffused across the country, they don't have a lot of those administrative costs. they are coming back in under the program and saying we need $337 million for administrative costs, but they have only justified$226 million. so this would save taxpayers $110 million. if they want to justify it down the road for something specific they can go ahead and do that. but this is to sort of deal with that. and it's also if you want another reason to support this there's also some new initiative related to algorithmic justice whatever that is and we would make no dollars go to algorithmic justice. thank you, madam president. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire, thank you. {mrs. shaheen:}my colleague from missouri says this is a good government amendment but this in fact is not a good government amendment. the infrastructure amendment and jobs act providedon of dollars to connect all americans
6:13 pm
to high-speed reliable affordable internet. the iija provided an administrative set-aside of 2% to get these grants out the door quickly and responsibly. what we're hearing now is that e th has projected that this falls short of what is needed to successfully implement and oversee these programs. so we increase that 2% to 2.7% to cover the shortfall to help states. now, the ntia has grants on the middle mile program that affect 38 projects in 5 states and puerto rico. i'm going to read to my colleagues across the aisle who are objecting to this 2.7% the states affected if these programs are cut -- alabama, alaska florida,- the presiding officer: senator, your time has expired.
6:14 pm
mrs. shaheen:montana,ta ohio tennessee, texas, kentucky west virginia and wyoming. i would urge my colleagues to vote no and makeojects can go forward with the oversight they require. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. schmitt: thank you, madam president. i'll just respond. may i ask for 30 extra seconds? seconds? the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. schmitt: thank you, madam president. i would just say this. if that were true maybe you'd have a good reason to vote against it. that's not true. according to congress and aprops there is $110 that will not be affected by that. all the things the great senator talked about, all that is going to happen. you're not taking anything away. you're saving $110 million thatjustice. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion to concur with amendment 1626.

6:33 pm
prices on everything especially groceries are sky-high and hardworking americans aren't able to keep up. the presiding officer: senator, do you wisho motion. mr. scott: i have a motion at the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: the senator from florida there scott moves to refer the bill h.r. 4366 to the committee on appropriation, of the senate with instructions to report the same back to the senate in one day not counting any day on which the senate is not in session with changes that remove all community project funding and congressionally directed spending. the presiding officer: there will now be two minutes fordivided. mr. scott: madam president, since -- the presiding officer: the senator from florida. mr. scott: since joe biden took office inflation has exploded 17.9%. prices on everything especially groceries, are sky-high and hardworking americans aren't able to keep up. unless we see significant deflation which will only happen ifspending there won't be relief for the massive damage the biden inflation has caused. one of the best ways to cut reckless spending is to stop earmarks and this bill has -- the presiding officer: be quiet in the senate please. mr. scott: this bill has more
6:34 pm
than 6,600 ever them costing taxpayers $12 billion. earmarks are a corrupt payers should not be used as a political piggy bank. we should sent this reckless spending bill back to the committee and remove all earmarks before passing it. given that my democratic colleagues have already removed at least one earmark from this bill this shouldn't be a tough thing to do before government funding lapses. mrs. murray: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: madam president, i have spoken out previously -- members have secured for their communities. but this really takes the cake. it would at the 11th hour wipe out all the cds requests in this bill all of the hard work all the input we asked everyone to provide us about projectsp their constituents would be gone. this would completely overrule other lawmakers on projects they requested and secured for their communities that they know best not to mention it would sink this bill all but ensuring a government shutdown.
6:35 pm
this is completely unacceptable. it should be unacceptable to everyone who has worked with us to make sure this package includes know will make a difference to folks back home. i strongly urge a no vote. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion to refer. is there a sufficient second? there is. the clerk will report. the clerk: ms. baldwin. mr. barrasso. mr. bennet. mrs. blackburn. mr. blumenthal. mr. booker. mr. boozman. mr. braun. mrs. britt.

mr. hagerty: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. hagerty: thank you, madam president.nts simple. it requires that the census determine -- the presiding officer: senator, do you wish to call up your amendment? mr. hagerty: sorry. concur in the house amendment to the senate amendment to h.r. 4366 with my amendment number 1634. the presiding officer: clerk will report. the clerk: senator from tennessee, mr. hagerty, moves to concur in the house amendment to the senate amendment to h.r. 43 6 withn numbered 1634. the presiding officer: there will now be two minutes for debate equally divided. senator from hatching hagerty thank you, madam president. -- mr. hagerty: thank you, madam president. . my amendment is simple. it requires that the census determine basic population statistics like the number of citizens noncitizens, and yeasting that -- illegal aliens that live in this country and
6:47 pm
require only u.s. citizens be mining the number of house seats and electoral votes each state gets. the presiding officer: silence in the chambers please. mr. hagerty: currently,llegal aliens are counted for determining how many seats each state gets. the more illegal aliens and noncitizens, the greater your voting power. this not only destroys the principle of one person, one vote, by making some americans' votes more powerful than others but encourages ill leagues immigration and sanctuary cities to increase political power. a democrat house member fromecently called for more illegal immigration to her district for redistricting purposes. the weight of every american's vote should be eq illegal alien resettlement shouldn't mean more political power in america. my amendment would ensure this and i encourage my colleagues to support it. thank you, madam president. . mrs. murray: madam president. this amendment is exactly the sort of poison pill rider we all work to keep out of this important package.
6:48 pm
the census must be conducted in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical way to get the most accurate data possible. data that is used in countless programs all our communities rely on. this amendment adds detrimental new requirements that inject politics into the census and have a chilling effect on the census bureau's constitutional responsibility to count the number of people in the united st clear, this amendment is probably unconstitutional. the constitution requires apportionment by counting quote, the whole number of persons in each state. the phrase whole number of persons is quite clear. so in addition to just be plain wrong, this amendment is fundamentally inconsistent with the clear language in our constitution. i urge my colleagues to vote no. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion to concur with hagerty amendment number 1634. mr. hagerty: i call for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there
