“This is a necessary step to continue to move the fiscal year 2019 appropriations process forward under regular order. On July 19, the House passed H.R. 6147 by a vote of 217-199, which includes the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies and the Financial Services and General Government bills. The Senate has now sent H.R. 6147 back to the House with the Agriculture and Transportation bills added to the package. With the appointment of these conferees, the House and the Senate may begin to resolve differences, with the goal of passing H.R. 6147 before the end of the fiscal year. As such, I strongly support this motion. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time, and I move the previous question on the motion. The previous question was ordered. The motion was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to instruct conferees at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. McCollum moves that the managers on the part of the House at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the Senate amendment to the bill H.R. 6147 be instructed to agree to section 114 of division A of the matter proposed to be added by the Senate amendment. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 7 of rule XXII, the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. McCollum) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Calvert) each will control 30 minutes.…”
