mr. thompson: are the school lunch programs within title 4 of the farm bill? mr. king: in response to the gentleman's question, no. school lunch programs are not. mr. thompson: i guess -- that was my reading, i have read the farm bill. yet i hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle talk about with the changes to the reforms, and as i've mentioned my remarks and you reaffirmed, we're trying to preserve this program for people who truly need it, who meet the eligibility by filling out an application. but i guess i get confused when i hear my colleagues on the other side of the aisle use rhetoric that they claim that somehow school lunches are impacted or the school breakfast program is impacted by our work on the farm bill. mr. king: reclaiming my time, i would say that there are times when people that are in the political business will intentionally con flate terms and arguments because it suits their agenda rather than informs their constituents. and that's what i believe is happening here. and if anyone is looking for proof-positive that school lunch pro

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, i'm appreciative of the 57 democrats in the house who have consistently voted with republicans to pass targeted appropriation bills to fund the federal government. i'm disappointed that so many house democrats have cast votes to support a continued shutdown. last night democrat washington delegate eleanor holmes norton confronted president obama over the district's budget in a white house meeting with the house democratic conference. ms. holmes norton argued for senate democrats and president obama to pass and sign a bill she row moted with republicans -- she promoted with republicans. mr. speaker, the gentlelady from the district of columbia is correct. it is long past time for the senate leader to take up h.j.res. 71 and all the other bipartisan target appropriation bills that have been passed out of the house. by rolling the 11 house-passed bills into one, more than half of the partial government shutdown would be over. the american people deserve as much. thank you, mr. s

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and stepped. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, when congress was unable to reach agreement on a funding bill, the house acted immediately on the pay our military act. the bill passed the house on september 29. the senate on september 30 was signed into law by the president that same day. the pay our military act ensures that military personnel and military reserveists will be paid and reserve allowances during the government shutdown. over the past week, the house has funded critical areas of judgment. we passed our pay our guard and reserve act and honor our veterans act. yesterday we considered and passed nutrition assistance for low-income women and children and today we passed another bill to fund the government. these measures should have received the support of every member in this chamber and those are the bills that

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the house will come to order. come to order, please. the house will come to order. take your conversations off the floor, please. the gentleman is recognized. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, senate leader harry reid has been the most ardent proponent of his party's no-compromise, no-negotiations stance. the leader's auto -- the leader's even been unwilling to talk about a compromise. we're moving into the second week of this shutdown. in an effort to avoid being labeled as an obstructionist, the senate leader has alter d his stance, at least rhetorically, and now claims there's already been compromise. i would say to the senate leader that there's been some compromise but not in the senate chamber. the compromise has come from 57 democrats who join with the majority in the house to pass target appropriation bills that will fund key departments and programs.

mr. thompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise to discuss the homeowners flood insurance portability act. a bipartisan bill to delay further implementation of flood insurance rate increases that took effect on october 1, 2013, under the national flood insurance program. congress last year on a bipartisan basis passed the flood insurance reform act of 2012. the major included long overdue reforms to strengthen the financial solvency and administrative efficiency of the national flood insurance program. the rationale for the 2012 law was the need for the national flood insurance program to more accurately reflect flood risk. historically most low-risk states subsidize high-risk coastal states. similarly, low-risk areas within states tended to subsidize those areas with high risk which were more prone to flooding. the linchpin of the 2012 law was to use true actuarial rates in order to prevent very little risk areas from subsidizes moderate to high risk areas. the unintended consequences has been drastic premium

mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, in october of 2009, the obama administration reversed the policies of both president clinton and president bush by committing the united states to u.n. arms treaty negotiations. since then members of the house and senate have voiced their strong opposition. i joined 130 of my colleagues in sending a letter to the white house to express my concern about the dangers posed by americans' second amendment rights. in the senate which must ultimately approve the treaty by a 2/3 vote, a bipartisan coalition of senators remains united in opposition to its ratification. despite overwhelming opposition from the congress and the american people, secretary of state john kerry signed the treaty, a decision that is sure to have far-reaching consequences before american foreign policy and sovereignty. i have joined my colleagues in the house in sending another letter to the administration voicing our continued opposition to this misguided and dangerous policy. i encourage my colleagues in th

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, more democrat leaders are finding their voices encouraged to speak out against the continued shutdown of government services by senate majority reid. this was evidenced wednesday as district of columbia mayor vincent gray crashed a senate democrat press conference near the capitol. mayor gray took the opportunity to ask a simple, logical question of the senate. would the senate vote on the house-passed measure to permit the district of columbia to utilize tax revenues it collects to fund municipal services during this shutdown. this measure, h.j.res. 71, passed the house more than a week ago with support from washington delegate eleanor holmes norton and other democrats in the house. this targeted appropriations bill, like the many others in the house, has passed with bipartisan support, today it still languishing

mr. thompson and mr. neal. i'll focus on an area i think this committee could become imminently involved in. i would like to point out what a success connecticut has been. i want to commend governor malloy and lieutenant governor wyman who headed that up. tremendous success including more than 1/3 of the people that have signed up for the program are under age 35. so it demonstrates when you're working together and cooperating, that indeed these things can work. as mr. neal pointed out, the thing that is astonishing from a democratic view, if democrats were to have their way in health care, we would have had medicare for all or a single-payer system. instead we opted for coming together and ending up with a program that was idea, the concept was the heritage foundation piloted by a republican governor in a democratic state. so we come up with a private sector initiative. here's the deal. the deal is this. that if this committee were to approach this issue the same way we did tax reform and say the following, we

mr. thompson, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, the american ople have come all too accustomed to government glitches which has result from government that's grown too large, too bureaucratic and too difficult to navigate. every day with a dedicated and compassionate staff, i send constituents to challenge the bureaucracy of the federal government. on a daily basis, we attempt to problem solve issues that citizens face when seeking resolutions on issues with federal agencies, agencies such as the internal revenue service, the environmental protection agency, veterans affairs or fema, just to name just a few. the frustrations and difficulties created as unintended consequences of the affordable care act have dramatically expanded how large and damaging government ghitches can be. -- glitches can be. the website glitches are just icing on the cake. over the last several years, the broken promises have continued to mount. one of the more glaring broken promises was reported yesterday when americans found out they won't be abl

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, prior to being elected to congress, i worked 28 years as a health care provider. through working to provide patients with the best possible care, one of the earliest lessons i learned was first, do no harm. the nation would benefit greatly if those elected to public service followed same principle. unfortunately, this pins pl has been seriously violated throughout the government funding debate. mr. speaker, the american people were harmed when president obama failed to come to the negotiate tabling until 11 days after the shutdown. the american people were harmed when he sought to cause as much pain as possible. i quote, it's a cheap way to deal with the situation. we have been told to make things as difficult as we can, end quote, stated an angry park ranger in washington. this is not public service, it is public injustice. it is time to do no more harm. it's time to end the politics and start solving the problems. the american people deserve as much. i yield back the balanc

mr. thompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, try and leave this world a little better than you found it, those were the words of robert powell, founder of the world scouting movement. this was a message to all scouts that was found among his papers after his passing in 1941. i'm a scouter, mr. speaker. it's part of who i am both as an american and an elected official proudly representing pennsylvania's fifth district. this is part of scouting principles, to always leave the campsite cleaner than when you found it. it's about service, serving others and it rings true in the debate taking place in washington. today we are saddling future generations with mountains of debt. we've made promises we cannot keep. we're leaving the next generation worse off than our own. we face a nation with grave challenges, challenges that aren't being addressed. the fact of the matter is that congress has yet to deal with the real drivers of our debt, a large portion of which is health care costs. mr. speaker, i don't care who won the white

mr. mike thompson. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. thompson: i rise in strong support of our bipartisan agreement -- amendment to require g.a.o. to study the impacts of invasive aquatic species and thank the chairman for including it in the en bloc amendment. aquatic mussels such as zebra mussels have cost more than $5 billion since their introduction in the 1980's. unfortunately, too thauven important problem only receives attention after it's too late this amendment would be proactive. it would require a timely report to find gaps in current efforts and minimize duplication of activeties. invasive species are a national problem with significant and expensive local implications. more than ever, we need knowledge and guidance on this issue. mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from west virginia is recognized. mr. rahall: i yield one minute to the gentleman from puerto rico, mr

mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, weeks ago the administration reached out to capitol hill to continue budget negotiations. and according to "the national journal" and i quote, the majority leader reid's office had a message for them. don't do it. end quote. quote, the white house listened. the summit was nixed and no serious talks have occurred since, end quotes, the article continues. as the government shutdown stretches into the second week, the article states, the white house has embraced reid's hard-line, no-negotiations stance at least so far, end of quotes. unfortunately hard-liner, non-negotiable posturing seems to be all the senate leader knows. today the house passed the head start for low-income childrens act,. -- act. the program remains a priority of the president, yet the white house just announced a veto threat on the bill. without doubt, at the senate majority leader's request. if this isn't a purely political move, i don't know what is. i urge the senate and the president to join 57 of my dem

mr. thompson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognize for two minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, ranking member price, for yielding this time. mr. speaker, i rise today in strong opposition to h.j.res. 85. this is the latest in a streng of measures that the republican majority has brought to the floor in an attempt to cherry pick what gets funded in the federal government or a piecemeal approach to running government. later this weekend, tropical storm karen is expected to hit the gulf coast. last night, there was strong reports of tornadoes in nebraska and a strong storm is expected in iowa. i guess that explains this cynical exercise where fema is funded in a mini c.r. when the majority learned that tourists had not visited our national monuments they whipped up a mini c.r. for the national parks. a storm is coming so their answer to it is a men nee c.r. for fema. the way the majority does business, there will need to be another west texas explosion before they -- another west, texas, explosion before they try to fund cfab. fema should have its full staff av

mr. thompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this morning one of my colleagues across the aisle said very accurately, he was quoting another elected official, that everything that gets done gets done in the middle. i happen to believe that the only type of legislation that really passes and lasts is that is done in a bipartisan way. that's why i commit myself in every bill i author and i work on and i reach across the aisle and i find a friend to be the lead co-author and we build support on both sides of the aisle. mr. speaker, based on the comments of my colleague and my own personal beliefs, you know, i believe that's why this health care law is so flawed and has so many flaws in it. because it was not done in that spirit. it did not honor that principle. it was done unilaterally in the most partisan way and shoved upon the american people. and it is public acknowledged that it has flawed. the majority of americans are demanding fixes of the flaws in the health care law, flaws that are acknowledged by republicans and

mr. thompson. >> thank you, mr. chairman, my thanks to the ranking members, and all the members in the house and senate ag committee for your hard work and dedication in the process of passing a long-term farm bill reauthorization. this conference committee is long overdue. reforms have been put forward by both chambers that update and modernize the agriculture programs to ensure the long-term stability of farms and broader economy. now while we're one step closer to the end goal, most agree we have heavy lifting before this conference. i serve as a chairman of the house agriculture subcommittee on conservation energy and forestry with jurisdiction over titles 2, 8, and 9. at the subcommittee we spent years examining the 2008 farm bill along with the range of other issues under the purview. i'm proud of the product put forward and passedded out of the house. tho this work, we made improvements with a name towards efficiency and value. reforms under all three titles create savings while improving outcomes. while many

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, according to a federal report issued yesterday by the energy information administration, natural gas being produced in the marcellus shale region is growing faster than expected. production has now reached 12 billion cubic feet a day. that's six times the production rate of 2009. the vast majority of production has come from pennsylvania, including the areas of the state that i represent, along with west virginia. to put this in perspective, the marcellus alone produces more natural gas than saudi arabia. if marcellus were its own country, production would rank third in the world after russia and the rest of the united states. this has led to record low gas prices. it's the reason companies are moving manufacturing back to the united states. it's why consumers have more money in their pockets after paying their bills. also, mr. speaker, data released monday by the e.i.a., said that carbon emissions dropped from 2011 to 2012. to their lowest levels since 1994. mr. speaker, dom

mr. thompson, for his leadership as part of this bill in addressing the enormous challenges that invasive species presents to our country's waters. in southern nevada, you think of that as a desert, but there's a lot of water there. the spread of muscles is a growing threat to lake meade which supplies 90% of southern nevada's water supply. the spread of the muscles in this critical reservoir has led to expensive countermeasures by the bureau of reclamation which is spending nearly $1 billion a year to prevent them from infiltrating the boulder dam intakes. the southern nevada water authority was alcs also forced to redesign the water intake 3 project to prevent the muscles from growing there as well. if unchecked, the mussels can cause the intakes to prevent water from reaching the residents and the visitors to southern nevada. , which , lake tahoe borders nevada and california, is on the edge of waterways where the mussels have been found and are taking hold. should the mussels establish colonies in lake tahoe, the annual impact would be over $22 million a year. the amendment that is pa

mr. thompson: mr., request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, wednesday the h.h.s. secretary, kathleen sebelius, is scheduled to testify before the house energy and commerce committee on the massive technological failures of the online rollout of the affordable care act. and while some of my colleagues would lead you to believe that these are only minor website glitches, i rise to talk about the basic fundamental flaw in the construct of the affordable care act. he structure of the design was to increase the rates for the young and healthy. while decreasing rates for the elderly or sick. the problem is this only serves to deter young americans from purchasing health care. when faced with the cost of education, first homes and the prospect of starting families. we all want americans to be covered but higher premiums for the young and healthy to subs

mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, plain and simple, the shutdown stalemate was unacceptable. the impasse should have been resolved weeks before october 1 when the house began passing funding bills through regular order. now, i argued that the strategy of defunding the health care law would not succeed. considering most of its programs are funded through mandatory spending. i did however believe that forcing the debate was necessary in order for congress to actually start dealing with the challenges we face. the president's health care law is without a doubt one of those challenges, mr. speaker. the law was sold as a way to lower insurance costs and expand access but in reality it's reducing access, breaking the budget and harming consumers. we force thed senate to join us in addressing our larger

mr. thompson: mr.eaker, first, i want to take this time to thank our capitol police, sergeant of arms staff, local d.c. police, that provide for our safety every day. our prayers go out to those injured and involved in today's terrible incident. second, mr. speaker, article 1, section 9, clause 7 of the u.s. constitution explicitly states that no funds shall be drawn from the treasury without appropriations made by law. this is one of the few obligations that congress must meet annually and congress has failed to meet the most basic responsibility, which is why i've co-sponsored the government shutdown fairness act. mr. speaker, where i come from, we believe in an honest day's work for an hon estes day's pay -- honest day's pay. while i continue to vote to keep the government open, it should be morally reprehensible for me or other members to collect a paycheck. unfortunately, this gesture will not reopen the government, as we continue to work toward ensuring critical services are made available for ou
