the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i move that the house suspend the rules and pass h.res. 608, as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 608, resolution condemning the senseless rampage and mass shooting that took place in isla vista, california, on friday, may 23, 2014. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from virginia, mr. issa, and the gentlelady from

california, miss speier, each will control 20 minutes. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from california. mr. issa: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. issa: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. issa: as many of us know, on may 23, 2014, a mass shooting took place in isla vista, california. a community adjacent to the university of california at santa barbara. the people of the united states will continue to mourn the loss of six innocent victims and students of the university of california santa barbara. each of these students excelled in school and were looking forward to bright futures. we will continue to remember the victims, george chen, kathleen huang. oper, chen james

christopher ross michael artinez, mehan david wang. and veronica weiss. americans everywhere continue to extend their support and sympathy to the victims, their families, and loved ones and we wish each of the 13 people injured in the shooting a full and speedy recovery. i would like to commend the law enforcement officers and other first responders for their courage, bravery, and dedication to service. their efforts helped to prevent further fatalities and injuries and we will remain extremely grateful to each of them. i urge support of this measure and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from california. ms. speier: thank you, mr. speaker.

i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. speier: i rise in support of h.res. 60 , introduce the by congresswoman lois capps, which is a bipartisan resolution to offer condolences to the isla vista and university of california santa barbara communities. to mourn the victims and offer support to their families. it condemns the senseless rampage and urges a dialogue on "the nation's mental health care system, anger, firearms laws, harmful attitudes towards women ." the resolution honors law enforcement and emergency personnel for their response to the attack and continues the commitment of "working to help prevent tragedies like this from happening again." the rampage and mass shootings that left six u.c. santa barbara students dead and 13 others injured on may 23 was perpetuated by a deeply troubled man with violent tendencies who planned for months to kill as

many as he could before the tragic day unfolded. despite warnings from his parents to police and a subsequent law enforcement check a few weeks before the murders, elliott rorger was able to ward off police by passing off the warnings as a, quote, misunderstanding." police said later that rorgee did not meet the cry toura for an involuntary hold. he legally purchased for than 400 rounds of ammunition and three semiauto matic pistols over the course of months before his rampage. in the months leading up to the shooting elliott rodger posted comments on social media sites detailing his frustrations with women and his hatred of them. he made such commenchts as, quote, my orchestration of the day of retribution is my attempt to do everything in my power to destroy everything i cannot

have. all of those beautiful girls i desired so much in my life that could never have because they despise and loathe me. i will destroy. unquote. he said he would also eliminate the men who had better luck with women than he did. rodger distressingly joins a longlies of mass killers that have haunted this country in recent years at grim scenes, including sandy hook, virginia wal-mart a, tucson, in las vegas and now in oregon just minutes ago. rodger shares three commom denominators, easy sack sess to guns, histry of mental illness, and clear warning signs he wanted to carry out violent acts. together the five lone killers left a staggering 82 people dead. and 114 others injured.

and scarred. the sandy hook killer had serious mental health issues. the man who shot representative gabby giffords had dropped out of school after his college required a mental health evaluation. the virginia tech killer had been investigated by the university for stalking and has been declared mentally ill by virginia special justice. the isla vista shooter had a history of mental illness. what's it going to take, colleagues? what's it going to take? like many other mass shooters he showed clear signs he was extremely dangerous and planned to kill, but these five massacres are only a fraction of the mass shootings americans have endured in a short span. between january, 2009 and september, 2013, there were 93 mass shootings. almost two per month. that occurred in 35 states in a five-year period. is the problem too many guns? is it mental health?

is it guns in the wrong hands? the answer to all these questions is yes. we know what needs to be done. we may not agree on every solution to reduce gun violence, but americans outraged by our inability to get anything done on this issue are waiting for us to come to our senses and to act. the threshold for taking someone against their will for psychiatric evaluation needs to be reviewed. police need better mental health training. it must become easier to intervene when there are risks. the prevailing majority of individuals with a mental health problem aren't violent, but we should have the tools to respond to the smaller number who show clear violent tendencies and evidence that they are preparing to act on it. richard martinez, the father of slain 20-year-old christopher michaels-martinez carefully pleaded for people to stop

feeling sorry for him after the massacre. his words ring in my ear all the time. " i don't care about your sympathy. i'm going to ask every person i can find to send a postcard to every politician they think of with three words on it -- not one more. people are looking for something to do. i'm asking people to stand up for something. enough is enough. one more mass killing is too many and congress is culpable for not taking action. we say never again, but it sounds like an empty promise because we do nothing. i thank congresswoman capps for offering this thoughtful and important resolution. we need to do so much more and her bringing this resolution to our attention gives us the opportunity to draw together and hopefully to come up with

something to do. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves. the gentleman from california. mr. issa: at this time, i'd like to yield five minutes to my colleague, the author of the bill, the gentlelady from california, mrs. capps. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for five minutes. mrs. capps: i thank my colleague for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in support of this resolution to remember those who lost their lives and to recognize those who are injured on may 23 in my district in california. the rampage and mass shooting in the isla vista rocked this small beachside community. again we mourn those lost. yuan chen, james check weihan, d wang veronikawise and we support the

injured as they heal. our community grieves. but isla vista is a special place and one that's come together since the tragedy to emerge stronger. we can learn from their strength. and unfortunately isla vista joins a longlies of those who have grieved because of mass shootings. even in the 18 days since this incident, more communities have joined the list of those who mourn. seattle, chicago, norfolk, las vegas. as the father of one of the victims implored, enough is enough. not one more. that's on my wrist band. we must not let the attention fade. we must not let the drumbeat fall silent. congress has the power to act and we must. the rampage and shooting that rocked my homente was sadly one of many incidents that occur across the nation. it is wrong to think we can do nothing to stop this carnage.

it is morally wrong and factually wrong. it is simply not a reflection of who we are. who americans are as a people. americans do not simply give up on hard problems. we work together to find consensus, even though they are thorny difficult issues. greater gun safety and the second amendment are not mutually exclusive. law-abidinging -- law-abiding responsible americans have the right to own guns, but each of us should also feel safe in our homes, in our parks, and in our communities. the isla vista tragedy showed us when warning signs of violence are seen, we must act, but our communities need the tools to do so. and while we may never be able to prevent each and every single violent act, it doesn't mean we should do nothing. our communities demand that we try. and i share my constituents' heartbreaking questions. they talk about gun rights.

what about chris' right to live? so i join in the chorus of those who are so rightly frustrated with the status quo and with this congress. they said to our congress, not one more. today's resolution is an important step in that direction. we must condemn the violence. we must remember the victims. we must support the living. on behalf of my community, thank you, my colleagues, and the communities you represent for your prayers. thank you for your support during this difficult time. it means a great deal to all of us on the central coast of california. but let this not be the end of the conversation. i am looking forward to working with each of you to do all we can so that there is not one more. we can act and we must. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the

gentlelady yields back. the gentleman from california reserves. the gentlelady from california. ms. speier: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my colleague and friend, mrs. capps, for her strong message. i now yield to my good friend and colleague from california, mr. honda, five minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for five minutes. mr. honda: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i would like to associate myself with the words that have been expressed this afternoon. mr. speaker, i rise today with great sadness. my heart goes out to the families and friends of all the victims killed in the tragic events of may 23 in isla vista, california. three of the victims were from my california congressional district 17, and i want to express my deepest condolences o the families of check yuan james hong, weihan david wang. the lives of these men were cut short in the senseless tragedy.

ames hong and george chen from san jose and david wang from fremont were from chinese families. they were all studying engineering. i ask everyone to please keep in your thoughts and players these young men and their families. as we struggle to make sense of what happened, we must seriously examine our -- exam our gun laws and ask why, why people who are mentally disturbed can continue to possession and obtain firearms. these acts of violence cannot be allowed to continue. how many more tragedies must our nation suffer before congress acts? we in congress promise our nation we would do better after the shootings in sandy hook, but we have not. we have not made good on that promise. instead, the shootings have continued. just since the isla vista killings on may 23, there have been two more mass shootings.

i'm outraged that we have not done more to protect the public from gun violence. congress has failed to act. congress has failed the american people. it is up to us to pass comprehensive commonsense gun laws to prevent these tragic deaths from occurring. the brutal violence exacted on the victims in isla vista, california, was horrific. what was particularly horrific was the nature in which those three young men were killed. they were stabbed to death before the perpetrator went on a shooting spree that claimed the lives of more victims. we will always remember those who are no longer with us, but we must also honor them. we must enact real change to our gun laws to protect not only the young people but all of our citizens. it is our moral obligation. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california reserves. the gentlelady reserves.

the gentleman from california. >> we have no further speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the entlelady is recognized. ms. speier: i would hate to think we'll have one of these resolutions on the house floor week after week because we choose to do nothing. 32 people will die today from gunshot wounds, 32 will die tomorrow, 32 will die the next week. we seem to be somehow ineuroed to what's going on around us. let's respect those who have died and those who have been injured and take steps to do something this year. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. the gentleman from california. mr. issa: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. issa: mr. speaker, the

mentally ill have for too long been able to get guns. individuals who have been seen nd exposed as being violent or incarcerated for their mental illness have too often become their own victims because we haven't paid enough attention to their possession of deadly weapons. this case is different than some because this violent individual also used knives. but no matter what, i join on a bipartisan basis, urging that as we look at a national mental health policy, we include the recognition that it's in other people's best interests, of course, there are victims of hese crimes, but too often the mentally ill kill themselves with a gun. the mentally ill take their lives. so as we look at a terrible tragedy of murder, let's bear in mind that the the real reform we

have to get to the root of is dealing with the mentally ill in this country, dealing with the need to take weapons out of their hands, but also the need to provide them real opportunity for care. a number of members of congress have pieces of legislation that deal with mental health. and although there's been much discussion about gun control this was really a mental health control question before it was a gun control question. so i urge passage of this balanced bill authored by my friend the gentlelady from santa barbara, mrs. capps, buzz it does speak to both problems. the gun problem -- because it does speak to both problems. the gun problem, of course, the murder of innocent people, but also the mental health question. again, i urge passage by all our members and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and agree to house resolution 608 as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no.

in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the resolution is agreed to and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20 proceedings will resume on the motion to suspend the rules previously postponed, h.r. 4810 by the yeas and nays. the vote -- the unfinished

for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> thank you, mr. speaker. members, i think most of you all know that for the past 13 years, a competition takes place between the house republicans and the house democrats in a olf match. the golf match is known as the congressional cup. mr. crenshaw: this year the competition took place about two weeks ago and i wanted to announce to the members of the house that the republican team, by a score of 14-6, defeated the democratic team and the congressional cup will now stay in possession of the republicans

for the third straight year ight here. but i also want to say, mr. speaker, that the real winners -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the house is not in order. the gentleman is recognized. mr. crenshaw: this event is used to raise money for a group called first tee, which is used to teach kids, especially kds in the inner city, about using gol to have build honesty, integrity, self-esteem. over the year, we've raised $2 million for the first tee. they are operating in all 50 states. they've reached nine million kids over the last 10 years and 17,000 volunteers. thanks to the sponsors and the participants and in particular to my teammates for their hard

work and dedication for this stunning victory. and now i'd like to yield time to the captain of the democratic team, the gentleman from kentucky. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. >> i thank my colleague and fellow captain. i want to congratulate the republican team on their victory. mr. yarmuth: it was a thumping, as rahm emanuel once said. we got thumped. elections have consequences. i hope we can use this public embarrassment to shame some of my colleagues who do play golintoof participating next year because we have some talent on the sidelines we'd like to get into the fray. the victory was well earned and as my colleague said, the true winners are the children of america who benefit from this great program. more than 200 chapters of first tee around the country so almost every member has a first tee

chapter in their district. i hope they'll continue to support the first tee program for the values it instills in our young people and with that, once again, con garagelations to the republican team and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. pursuant to house resolution 604 and rule 18, the chair declares the house in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for further consideration of h.r. 4745. will the gentleman from utah, mr. bishop, kindly take the chair. the chair: the house is in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for further consideration of h.r. 4745, which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: a bill making
