mr. dicks: i want to make sure -- the chair: the amendment reads 1964. mr. dicks: thank you. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. ellison: mr. speaker, let me thank the chair and ranking member. i have an amendment here that i believe should enjoy the bipartisan support on all sides, america being the land of the free and home of the brave, where liberty and justice for all is how we live and recite those words every day when we come to the floor to say the pledge of allegiance. this is an amendment that says in america, law enforcement will respect the individual dignity of each person and operate on the basis of what would indicate criminal behavior, not race, not national origin, not religion. the leaders of four separate important caucuses in this congress have come together and are in support. that includes the congressional progressive caucus, congressional black caucus, congressional hispanic caucus and the congressional asia pacific island caucus and all say this

honda and i can -- mr. dicks well, you could strike the last word and make a comment or two if you'd like to. you know, mr. honda might want to say a word. mr. dicks: apparently we'd have to go back in the house and ask unanimous consent if we wanted to go out of order on this. and maybe it's just better to wait for the gentleman from arizona to get here. what is the plan? what is the plan for phase two of the capitol, of the dome restoration? how does the chairman see this? mr. crenshaw: that's an excellent question. we ought to take a little time -- mr. dicks: i thought it was. mr. crenshaw: as you know, phase one is in process. that cost -- that's the skirt of the dome and you can see some of the work that's being done there. the next phase is much more expensive. i think a little over $100 million. and as you know, we have inauguration that's coming, and so during inauguration i would hope that we don't have a lot of construction going on to impair the view of that beautiful dome. so it is my desire as soon a

we're not saying anybody -- mr. dicks: will the gentleman yield? mr. stearns: yes. . mr. dicks: could we take the savings from the gentleman's amendment and use that to pay the workers -- half of 1% raise that is denied. is there a way we can work this out? mr. stearns: i'm going to go with my amendment at this point and having an opportunity to look this over, i think we have talked to the veterans' committee and it is a viable amendment. as we go into conference, we could look at your suggestion. mr. dicks: i appreciate the gentleman yielding. mr. stearns: with that, i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from florida. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. stearns: could i ask for a recorded vote? >> no. no. no. no. mr. stearns: ok. i'm good. the chair: the amendment is agreed to. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. culberson: i move that the committee do now rise. the chair: the question is on the mot

mr. dicks: will the gentleman yield? mr. price: i'd be happy to yield. mr. dicks: i'd like to associate myself with the gentleman's remarks. i believe these programs are very important, that there have been major cuts made in the last two years, as i understand it, and that this would just be another major cut on top of this. and to my friend from georgia, austerity isn't helping england, isn't helping france, isn't helping greece and it's not going to help the united states. we need a recovery here at home. that's what we need. not mindless cutting and slashing of the budget that will throw people out of work and not create jobs for the american people. austerity has failed and i think it's time for the majority to wake up and recognize that. and i don't have the time or i'd be delighted to yield. mr. price: i'd be happy to yield. mr. broun: i thank my frnd from north carolina for yielding -- friend from north carolina for yielding. just to remark about, mr. chairman, from my friend from washington state's remarks, the countries in europe are failing because

mr. dicks: i associate myself with the gentleman's comments and the chairman's comments on this amendment. this is -- we are talking about homeland security. and we have been hit before. and we can't have a meat-ax approach. and we have to have the same kind of discipline on our side. i suggest in good faith to the gentleman from colorado, if you've got all these reports and all these things about various programs that aren't functioning, offer amendments on each of those programs and then we can vote on them and make a discerning decision. but going across the board is the easy way out and i urge rejection of the gentleman's amendment. mr. price: i thank the ranking member for his comments. i agree with him and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from colorado. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. mr. polis: mr. chair, on that i request the yeas

mr. dicks: this proiblets funding for the wind power program. mr. chairman, i rise to oppose the amendment. i prishte my colleagues' continue -- my colleague's continued effort to stop inappropriate or wasteful government spending. however there is a distinction between improper and proper federal activities and i believe this amendment would eliminate an example of the latter. i agree with my colleague that the government should not be funding the deployment of proven technologies and for that reason we have significantly ramped back the wind energy program. in fact, our bill cuts the program by 25% and focuses the remaining funds on unproven technologies not yet in the market, like offshore wind. i know they don't have any of that in arizona but we have significant offshore wind in washington state. there is also a proper federal role for facilitating the free flow of information where market failures prevent the efficient operation of free markets. in this case, a small program facilitates the free flow of information collected by national labora

mr. dicksition to the amendment and ask for -- strike the required number of words. the chair: the gentleman from washington is recognized for five minutes. mr. dicks: i received a letter from the american fisheries society, the american fly-fishing trade association, the american sport fishing association, backcountry hunters and anglers, i think these are very important groups. as a westerner i pay attention to these people. . conservation organizations representing millions of hunters, anglers nationwide, we ask you to oppose any legislation that would block the administration's very deliberate and vital actions to clarify and restore long standing clean water act protection for streams and wetlands across the country. we reaffirm our support for clean water act guidance currently being reviewed and finalized in an interagency process coordinated by the office of management and budget. sportsmen rely on clean water to ensure the opportunity to enjoy hunting, anglinging and other outdoor-base

frelinghuysen: i rise to speak very briefly to associate my remarks with mr. dicks, dr. hastings and mr. shimkus. i want to thank them for bringing this amendment forward to increase funding for licensing for yucca. this is a bipartisan effort. it's not only bipartisan, the -- there's support from authorizers and appropriators. i'm highly appreciative of their initiative. i think it ought to be supported by all members. i think we ought to move forward and send a message. we need to get yucca open and this is a way to reclaim the $15 billion that's been put into that effort by keeping the license process open and above board. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman rise? >> i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. visclosky: i believe the debate on this has been fruitful and will simply add my voice to theirs. i believe the administration and senate's ongoing attempts to shut this down are without scientific merit and are contrary, as has been said on the floor, to existing law and congressiona

mr. dicks: i didn't hear what the request was. the chair: to dispense with the reading of the amendment. mr. dicks: that's fine. the chair: without objection, so ordered. pursuant to the order of the house of tuesday, june 5, 2012, the gentleman from arizona, mr. flake, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from arizona. mr. flake: i thank the chair. i know we have been on this bill a long time and i don't plan to take my full five minutes here. this amendment would simply prohibit funding for the department of energy battery and electronic -- electric drive technology program, preventing unnecessary federal spending to the tune of about $171 million. we all know that for too long washington has meddled too much in the energy market. not only has the government provided -- proved itself to be ill-equipped to pick winners and losers, i think government is just plain bad at it. a list of winners is dupeous at best and it's a diverse one. from oil subdies, solyndra, and now the chevy
