this undefined standard would make it almost impossible for the secretary to remove any employee under this new authority, thereby ensuring that current stalemate that exists -- exists with the civil service rules would continue. unfortunately as i said moments ago, maintaining the status quo is not acceptable. i would submit that the standard of a clear and direct threat to public health and safety would not apply to those employees involved with many of today's ongoing scandals at the v.a. the cost overruns at the denver hospital, the budget shortfall that we're going to vote to fix later today, a $3 billion budget fix, the manipulation of data at the philadelphia regional office. the allegations of inappropriate use of government purchase cards to the tune of $6 billion. the allegations of employees at the los angeles regional office once again, inappropriately shredding veterans' claim information and the many other egregious actions that continue to come to light at the v.a. almost every single day. members, these are the very type of employees that our constituents and our vetera

concern, the amendment includes key terms like, and i quote, drinking water supply well that are undefined and the amendment would trump all other groundwater monitoring requirements required by the e.p.a. final rule and state permit programs. we're not trying to re-create existing authority. rather we're focused on getting the folks with the most experience and knowledge of this issue and make sure they're not causing contamination, but i ensure you that h.r. 1734 makes sure that if it is causing it, states will ensure their citizens have safe drinking water. i urge my colleagues to vote no on this amendment, and i yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman from illinois yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from north carolina is recognized. ms. adams:ie, mr. speaker. i yield -- yes, mr. speaker, i yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from new jersey, mr. pallone. the chair: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: thank you. i want to thank the gentlewoman and thank the chairman. i support this amendment, which would improve protection for huma

h.r. 5 ignores the promise that every child counts by using vague and undefined accountability measures and failing to provide federal guardrails for student achievement. h.r. 5 ignores the promise that every child deserves a quality education by failing to address our dependence on deeply problematic standardized tests. we need to move towards a more balanced assessment that measures diverse kinds of success in teaching and learning. mr. speaker, i spent decades working to understand how children learn, and i can tell you this -- this bill fails to meet the very promises that are essential for educating our children and are at the heart of esea. i strongly urge all of my colleagues to vote against this bill of unfulfilled promises. thank you and i yield back. . the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from washington seek recognition? mr. newhouse: i yield three minutes to someone that really embodies something that i have seen in this congress since becoming a member. we have people on both sides of the aisle that dedicate their lives in different fields. the gentl

standard used to determine when an action negatively effects an indengered species and has an untested, undefined standard. as evidenced by this piece of legislation republicans' solution to the drought crisis is to provide handouts to big agricultural interests at the expense of the environment and everyone else. . i want to make it very clear. i represent agricultural interests as do my colleagues that are republicans, we represent all of the specialty crops and sugar gain grown and we understand these dynamics very well. not only will this bill scale back desperately needed environmental protections, it will affect thousands of fishing jobs in california and oregon that local residents depend on. given the changing standard of the endangered species act this bill will dramatically weaken protections for salmon and other fish and wildlife in california's bay delta estuary. this bill claims to help california, but even california doesn't want it. california's own secretary of natural resources has said that this bill, let me quote him, will reignite wars move water policy back into the courts an
