WES COOLEY\n\n of oregon\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Friday, October 4, 1996\n\n Mr. COOLEY. Mr. Speaker, today I bring to my colleague's attention\nthe 1995-96 Private Property Rights Congressional Vote Index created\nand published by the League of Private Property Voters in Battle\nGround, WA.\n This index, first published in 1990, was developed in response to\nactions of Federal agencies that result in the taking of private\nproperty without just compensation. The current index is sponsored by\nseveral hundred grassroots-wise use and private property rights groups.\nAmong the Oregon cosponsors are Oregon Cattlemens Association, Oregon\nFarm Bureau, Oregon Lands Coalition, Oregonians for Food and Shelter,\nand Oregonians in Action.\n I urge my colleagues to read and study this index to learn more about\nthe concerns of private property rights advocates.\n\n United States House of Representatives\n\n The votes listed below show how the House supported (S) or\n opposed (O) the League of Private Property Voters position. A\n description of each vote is listed below along with the\n scorecard.\n You will gain the greatest benefit by first looking up your\n Representative to see what his private property score was on\n the right side of the scorecard. Then read each vote\n description. The league private property position listed near\n the top of the scorecard shows how we believe your\n Representative should have voted on each issue. Check to see\n whether you Representative supported (S) or opposed (O) the\n League private property position.\n\n U.S. House Votes\n\n house vote #1: Weakening unfunded mandate reforms\n\n H.R. 5 requires a Congressional Budget Office cost analysis\n and specifics on how a bill or regulation would be financed\n on any measure imposing costs of more than $50 million on\n state and local governments. Representative James Moran (D-\n VA) offered a substitute amendment to severely weaken H.R. 5\n by removing a provision in the bill blocking the\n consideration of legislation that does not provide money for\n meeting a federal mandate. The Moran substitute was rejected\n February 1, 1995 on a 152-278 vote. Private property rights\n supporters voted NO.\n\n house vote #2: regulatory moratorium\n\n H.R. 450 would temporarily prohibit federal agencies from\n implementing new federal regulations. The freeze would be in\n effect until December 31, 1995, or when the regulatory\n revisions in the ``Contract With America'' were enacted,\n whichever is sooner, and would retroactively cover\n regulations proposed or put into effect since November 20,\n 1994. The bill would exempt routine regulations and those\n that address an ``imminent threat to health or safety.'' H.R.\n 450 passed 276-146 on February 24, 1995. The President's\n position was a no vote. Private property advocates voted YES.\n\nhouse vote #3: strengthening risk assessment and cost/benefit analysis\n for new regulation act\n\n H.R. 1022 requires that any new regulations affecting the\n environment, health and safety that would likely cost the\n economy more than $25 million annually must first undergo an\n assessment of risk and the relative costs and benefits.\n Representatives Joe Barton (R-TX), Mike Crapo (R-ID) and\n Billy Tauzin (D-LA) offered an amendment to strengthen H.R.\n 1022 by establishing a process whereby citizens could\n petition federal agencies to review EXISTING regulations. The\n Barton-Crapo-Tauzin Amendment was rejected on a 206-220 vote\n on February 28, 1995. Private property rights advocates voted\n YES.\n\n house vote #4: private property rights--30 percent threshold\n\n H.R. 925 was a private property rights bill that would\n provide for landowners to be compensated for the loss of the\n use of their land caused by federal regulations. The Goss\n Amendment (Porter Goss (R-FL)) would have weakened H.R. 925\n in two ways. First it would have raised the threshold to 30%\n from 10% before the bill would kick in and require\n compensation to the landowner. Second, the Goss Amendment\n would have required that the 30% apply to all the landowners\n property, not just the portion affected by the regulation as\n stated in H.R. 925. The Goss Amendment was defeated 210-211\n on March 2, 1995 (the House eventually settled on a 20%\n threshold). The property rights position was a NO.\n\n house vote #5: private property rights\n\n H.R. 925 would require federal agencies to compensate\n private property owners for federal actions taken under the\n Endangered Species Act, the Wetlands provisions of the Clean\n Water Law and the 1985 Farm Bill, and certain laws affecting\n Western water rights that reduce the value of any section of\n their properties by 20 percent or more. If a regulation took\n 50% or more of the property value, the landowner would be\n able to force the government to buy out his property. H.R.\n 925 passed 277-148 on March 3, 1995. The President's position\n was a no vote. Private property advocates voted YES.\n\n house vote #6: emergency harvest of dead and dying trees on federal\n lands\n\n During the last five years a net of 21 billion board feet\n of dead and dying timber has accumulated on Forest Service\n lands nationwide. Unfortunately, existing federal barriers\n have prevented these trees from being harvested before they\n deteriorate and lose commercial value. They merely rot and\n provide no employment for rural timber economies and increase\n the cost of forest products used to build houses. H.R. 1158,\n the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations and Rescissions\n bill, contained a common sense provision by Representatives\n Charles Taylor (R-NC) and Don Young (R-AK) which established\n expedited procedures for removing these dead and dying trees\n while still retaining important environmental safeguards. An\n amendment by Rep. Sidney Yates (D-IL) to strike the Taylor-\n Young provisions and thus retain existing barriers to\n harvesting these trees was defeated on March 15, 1995 by a\n 150-275 vote. Private property rights supporters voted NO.\n\n house vote #7: wetlands definition and compensation\n\n H.R. 961 is a bill to revise the Clean Water Act and\n regulation of wetlands. The Boehlert Amendment (Sherwood\n Boehlert (R-NY)) would have gutted H.R. 961. It would have\n broadened the definition of wetlands to cover more land and\n eliminated the provisions of the bill that would require\n federal compensation for private landowners affected by\n wetlands regulation. This amendment was supported by 39\n moderate Republicans and opposed by 51 conservative\n Democrats. The Boehlert Amendment was defeated 185-242 on May\n 16, 1995. The private property vote was a NO.\n\n house vote #8: more funding for converting private property into\n federal property\n\n H.R. 1977, the FY 1996 Interior Appropriations bill,\n contained $51 million for federal agencies to acquire only\n the highest priority lands for national parks, national\n forests and wildlife refuges. Representative George Miller\n (D-CA) offered an amendment to increase this amount by $183\n million which is offset by a corresponding cut in fossil fuel\n research and development funding. The Miller Amendment was\n defeated 170-253 on July 13, 1995. Private property rights\n supporters voted NO.\n\n house vote #9: funding for national trust for historic preservation\n\n An amendment to the Fiscal year 1996 Interior\n Appropriations bill (H.R. 1977) by Rep. Tim Hutchinson (R-AR)\n would have eliminated the $3.5 million provided in the bill\n for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The House\n Appropriations Committee had already decided to defund the\n trust over 2 years but the Hutchinson Amendment would have\n cut the funds immediately. The Hutchinson Amendment was\n defeated 129-281 on July 13, 1995. The private property\n position was YES.\n\n[[Page E1946]]\n\n house vote #10: east mojave national preserve management\n\n Congress passed the California Desert Act as one of the\n last things it did in the 103rd Congress in 1994. In 1995,\n Representative Jerry Lewis (R-CA) inserted a provision in the\n FY 1996 Interior Appropriations bill (H.R. 1977) that kept\n management of the East Mojave National Preserve in the hands\n of the Bureau of Land Management instead of turning it over\n to the National Park Service as planned in the California\n Desert Act. Rep. Vic Fazio (D-CA) offered an amendment to\n turn the area over to the National Park Service and transfer\n $600,000 given to the BLM to manage the area to the Park\n Service. The Fazio Amendment was defeated by a vote of 174-\n 227 on July 13, 1995. The private property rights provision\n was a NO vote.\n\n house vote #11: no more roads in forest service roadless areas\n\n Rep. Joseph Kennedy (D-RI) offered an amendment to the FY\n 1996 Interior Appropriations bill to stop the Forest Service\n from constructing roads or preparing timber sales in roadless\n areas of 3,000 acres or more. These areas have not been\n designated by Congress as Wilderness and should not be\n managed as such unless Congress determines otherwise. The\n Kennedy Amendment was defeated by a vote of 155-255 on July\n 18, 1995. Private property rights advocates voted NO.\n\n house vote #12: controlling excesses of the environmental protection\n agency (epa)\n\n H.R. 2099, the bill funding Veterans Administration,\n Department of Housing and Urban Development and Independent\n Agencies contained 17 anti-regulatory provisions (called\n riders) to reign in excesses by the EPA. Of greatest interest\n to private landowners were riders dealing with the Clean\n Water Act's onerous wetlands program. Representatives\n Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) and Louis Stokes (D-OH) offered an\n amendment to strike the 17 anti-regulatory riders from H.R.\n 2099. The House, which had approved the Boehlert-Stokes\n Amendment three days earlier, rejected it on July 31, 1995 on\n a 210-210 tie vote. A yes vote supported the Clinton\n Administration's position. Private property rights supporters\n voted NO.\n\n house vote #13: political advocacy restrictions\n\n The Skaggs Amendment (David Skaggs (D-C)) aimed to strike\n from the Labor-HHS Appropriations bill (H.R. 2127) language\n opposed by liberals that prohibits any Federal grant from\n going to any group that has spent over 5% of its annual non-\n governmental income in any of the previous five years on\n political advocacy, including lobbying. The Skaggs Amendment\n was defeated 187 to 232. The private property position was\n a NO.\n\n House Vote #14: NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM OVERHAUL\n\n H.R. 260 offered by Rep. James Hansen (R-UT) would direct\n the Interior Secretary to prepare a review of National Park\n Service operations within two years of enactment and make\n recommendations to Congress on improvements such as closing\n parks or changing management practices. There are well\n recognized financial and other problems in the National\n Parks. The agency is billions of dollars behind in deferred\n maintenance and land acquisition. The Hansen bill only asked\n the Park Service to make recommendations for changes. It did\n not make any immediate changes. However, in the new highly\n partisan House the proposal was defeated 180 to 231 on\n September 19, 1995. A no vote was in support of the\n President's position. Private property advocates voted YES.\n\n House Vote #15: MINING PATENTS\n\n The House added an amendment to the FY 1996 Interior\n Appropriations bill (H.R. 1977) extending the moratorium on\n mining patents for another year. The Senate rejected this\n amendment and substituted an amendment which ended the\n moratorium and raised the price charged for a patent to fair\n market value. The conference committee concurred with the\n Senate. Representative Sidney Yates (D-IL) offered a motion\n on the House floor to recommit the FY 1996 Interior\n Appropriations bill (H.R. 1977) to the House-Senate\n conference committee with instructions to include a one year\n ban on expending money for processing or granting mining\n patents. The Yates motion passed 277-147 on September 29,\n 1995. A vote for the motion was a vote to deny many mining\n claimants their property rights. A no vote was the vote to\n protect property rights (See vote #6 in the Senate).\n\n HOUSE SCOREBOARD\n [House key: S: Supported private property position; O: Opposed private property position; X: House Speaker excused himself from voting; ?: Did not vote; I: Ineligible to vote at the time]\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n Percent support\n Private property position Congressman N 1 Y 2 Y 3 N 4 Y 5 N 6 N 7 N 8 Y 9 N 10 N 11 N 12 N 13 Y 14 N 15 -----------------------------\n (votes) When voting All votes\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n ALABAMA\n\nBachus S (R)..............................

This, Mr. Speaker, is what the New Jersey Hispanic\nChamber promotes.\n Mr. Speaker, in an era with significant economy shifts, the statewide\nHispanic Chamber of Commerce has led our community in the effort to\neducate the Hispanic Business Community and its consumers. They have\nsought to encourage and support the entrepreneurs, the individuals, and\nthe community as a whole. Through their education, our community has\nthe opportunity to grow and develop into a better community.\n This year, Mr. Speaker, the statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce\nwill sponsor Hispanic Business Week from October 21 to October 26. I am\ngrateful to be invited to their sixth annual convention and exhibition\nduring this historical week.
