On the recordOctober 21, 2015
As I said before, Mr. Scott of Virginia is one of my favorite people in this body. I have the greatest respect. His perspective is one that I often share. I would just highlight for this body here, because I do urge a ``no'' vote on this motion to recommit, that we had a field hearing in May. We have had good debate. We had a good markup. We had always projected to move this bill in the fall. I think it is time to bring up this bill. So we have never had this issue ever brought to my attention as chairman of the committee. I would also highlight that section 3008, Nondiscrimination and Other Requirements for Participating Schools--I will read just point A. ``In General.--An eligible entity or school participating in any program under this division shall not discriminate against program participants or applicants on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.'' I do look forward to working with the gentleman and anybody else on these issues moving forward, but I would urge a ``no'' vote on the motion to recommit. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is ordered on the motion to recommit. There was no objection. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have it.
