mr. smith: thank you very much for your leadership and for your bill. i'd like to you no yield to danley pinsky, the gentleman from illinois, the co-charron progressive the pro-life caucus. mr. lipinski: i want to thank representative smith for all his work and leadership on the issues of life and protecting people at all stages of life. as the democratic co-chair of the pro-life caucus, i stand up here as a democrat who believes that we need to have laws in our nation to protect the vulnerable, those who can't protect themselves. no one is more vulnerable in america today than a child in a mother's womb. no one is in more need of protection. we must continue to fight to provide that protection. we do have our young men and women who are our new pro-life generation. they understand the dangers that they face to their own lives when they were in their mother's womb. and i look forward to continuing to work with all of them, with my colleagues here in the house, to bring us to the day where all l

mr. smith: i thank my good friends for his very eloquent comments. i'd like to yield to bill shuster, the chairman of the transportation committee, the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: i thank the gentleman for yielding and also for setting up this special order tonight and his years in congress and the pro-life movement. life is the most precious gift we're given. the most youngest and vulnerable among us are a blessing and we must never stop working to protect them. unfortunately, 2015 brought renewed attacks on life and horrific events came to life that showed us how important this life is. videos were released exposing planned parenthood's barbaric practices, the things we saw being discussed and done in thighs videos were appalling. -- in these videos were appalling. we must uphold the sanctity of life and i'm proud we're sending down to the president a piece of legislation that will defund planned parenthood. i'm proud of the work this house has done to bring attention to this is

mr. smith: we had the department of labor just a few years ago that tried to say whether my nephews or anyone's kids or grandkids could perform common chores on the family farm. we also have the e.p.a. trying to implement ambient air quality standards that are so unrealistic that literally the mark twain national forest in southeast missouri would be considered in some areas a nonattainment zone. i can tell you right now, i'd rather breathe the oxygen in southeast missouri than any of the big coast cities on the east or the west side. we've also seen this administration act with the stroke of a pen and try to implement rules that he could not pass legislation in congress. such as cap and trade, when the democrats controlled the house in 2010. now he's trying to implement those environmental policies, which would ultimately double and triple the utility rates of people on fixed incomes in southeast missouri. we had an issue where the national park service implemented a rule saying that a local b

mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, since 1973, at least 58 million unborn children have been killed by abortion, a staggering loss of children's precious lives, a death toll that equates with the entire population of england. despite the loss of children's lives and president is trying to promote abortion violence, including the massive public funding of abortion on demand in obamacare, the pro-life movement is alive and well and making serious, significant and sustained progress. yesterday, congress passed landmark legislation to end taxpayer subsidies for planned parenthood and special thanks go to speaker ryan, majority leader mccarthy, chairman price and others in leadership for crafting this life-saving legislation. pro-life measures have passed including the no taxpayer funding for abortion act, the pain capable child protection act and the born alive abortion survivors protection act. on the state level 282 pro-life laws have been enacted since 2010, including laws to stop dismemberment aabortions, requ

mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. i certainly thank mr. newhouse for yielding as well. i rise today in support of this rule and certainly the underlying legislation. despite abundantly clear congressional intent to limit federal jurisdiction under the clean water act to only navigable waters, the waters of the united states rule will expand e.p.a.'s jurisdiction to nearly all areas with any hydrological connection to navigable waters. this rule relied on, i want to quote here, general peabody of the army corps of engineers, inaappropriate consullingses with no connection to the data provided, misapplied data, analytical deficiencies, and inconsistencies, end quote. the joint author of the rule was so concerned about the e.p.a.'s methods they wanted their name and logo removed from e.p.a. documents. furthermore, it has now come to light that the e.p.a. broke federal law by engaging in propaganda and a propaganda campaign to carry out this agenda behind their rule. congress has a responsibility to guard against these bureaucratic power grabs by executive agencies. this is

mr. smith: i appreciate this opportunity to stand in support of our second amendment. this is an issue that has been around for some time and with e recent very violent events that have strickened our communities, the way the president has chosen to respond is ineffective and an overreach by the president himself and i believe as the president has many to operate on issues, it's disappointing and we already have laws on the books that need enforcing. those laws that we have can be if he cantive. i don't think anyone will say withoutcan go buy a gun any effort whatsoever. the actions targeting the actions would have prevented the tragedies. would like to highlight this on the ways and meeps comment. backgroundded in the system. the finances should not mean hat an individual should ludes it. but it would also discourage some beneficiaries. and many similar views have been shared here earlier this evening. when "the los angeles times", i joined the members writing to the president . and despite the dministration's unwillingless. i remain hopeful we can scrail break. >> th

that if only they weren't spending time raising money, they would be like mr. smith goes to washington and be pure. it's the same people. and they still want to win and direct effort at winning. it's not changing their hearts. so people are allocating effort to maximize their utilities. and if that is going to be achieved by raising money to run ads to win re-election, that's what they'll do. if you make it harder for them to run ads. one fundamental is that you don't get less effort, you're going to get more effort redirected through other means. maybe it will be good ways. maybe they're going to right a perfect bill or maybe they're going to engage in more pandering and more trying to send favors to special interest groups in order to get those organizations behind them. it's not obvious you'd get something better. you may get something different. >> if they spent a lot of time raising money, we're all safer. >> going back to the bigger picture. what you have is -- one of the effects of having this outside money come in, it makes members of congress, and makes stat

mr. lamar smith. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman from ohio for yielding me time and i support s.j.res. 22, which rejects the environmental protection agency's waters of the united states rule. this rule is just another one of e.p.a.'s many attempts to expand its jurisdiction and increase waters to regulate waterways even if that means invading americans' own back yards. the science committee's oversight hearings revealed that the e.p.a. made arbitrary decisions in writing this rule and justified it with phony science. and the government accountability office found that the e.p.a.'s use of social media to promote the rule actually violated the law. the obama administration will do anything and say anything to impose its liberal agenda on the american people. i urge my colleagues to support s.j.res. 22 and disapprove the waters of the united states rule. i'll yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from ohio reserves. the gentleman from oregon.
