PERSONAL EXPLANATION
Ms. LEE. Mr. Chairman, because I was questioning General Petraeus and
Ambassador Crocker in a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee
today, I missed rollcall votes numbered 167 through 169 regarding
amendments to H.R. 2016, the National Landscape Conservation System
Act. Had I been present, I would voted ``aye'' on the Grijalva
amendment (rollcall 167); ``nay'' on the Bishop (UT) amendment No. 3
(rollcall 168); and ``nay'' on the Bishop (UT) amendment No. 4
(rollcall 169).

Announcement by the Acting Chairman
The Acting CHAIRMAN (during the vote). There are 2 minutes remaining
in this vote.
{time} 1734
Mr. McINTYRE changed his vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
Mr. PERLMUTTER changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was agreed to.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. The question is on the committee amendment in
the nature of a substitute, as amended.
The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as amended,
was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIRMAN. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Weiner) having assumed the chair, Mr. Salazar, Acting Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 2016) to
establish the National Landscape Conservation System, and for other
purposes, pursuant to House Resolution 1084, he reported the bill back
to the House with an amendment adopted by the Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole? If not, the question is on
the amendment.
The amendment was agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit Offered by Mr. Cannon
Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. CANNON. Yes, Mr. Speaker, in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Cannon moves to recommit the bill, H.R. 2016, to the
Committee on Natural Resources with instructions to report
back to the House promptly with the following amendment:
At the end of section 4 of the bill, add the following:
In addition, nothing in this Act shall affect the right to
bear arms under the Second Amendment within the National
Landscape Conservation System.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Utah is recognized for 5
minutes.
Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, it is essential that we keep the second
amendment protections on BLM lands. This motion to recommit will
prevent the NLCS from imposing a complete ban on the right to bear arms
like the National Park Service.
In 2006 the National Park Service prevented visitors from protecting
themselves, and 11 individuals were murdered, 35 were raped, and 16
were kidnapped. We cannot let the NLCS become an area where the public
won't go because they can't protect themselves.
There's a crisis on our Federal lands, especially along the southern
border, and a National Park Service second amendment restriction will
ensure only the drug traffickers, rapists, and murderers will have
guns. The ability to carry firearms on these lands for personal
protection is a mere lawsuit and a sympathetic judge away from being
denied.
The Altmire amendment already agreed to preserve certain rights, but
the vague language of this legislation leaves second amendment rights
woefully unprotected. The second amendment was never meant to provide
cafeteria-style rights for legislators, for us to pick and choose. The
second amendment is a constitutional right which you either support or
oppose. This motion to recommit will unequivocally make sure that is
the case.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on this motion to recommit.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Arizona is recognized for
5 minutes.
Mr. GRIJALVA. Mr. Speaker, as was indicated by the gentleman from
Utah, the Altmire amendment, which was endorsed by the NRA and the NRA
supported the bill with the inclusion of that amendment in its present
form, dealt with this issue and dealt with it effectively by
reaffirming the right of gun owners and hunters in those public lands.
Also in the legislation is a savings clause which guarantees that
management prerogatives that are on the land now will remain on the
land.
This to me is clearly a bait and switch. It's a gotcha move. These
issues have been dealt with in the legislation. It is not a second
amendment threat that we are talking about here. We're talking about,
more importantly, the issue of public lands and their management. And
it might be added that the use of the word ``promptly'' in the motion
to recommit would effectively kill this legislation, a decent, well-
crafted, bipartisan legislation supported by many Members in this
House.
Let me just read from the letter sent out by the NRA:
``Because of our longstanding support for our hunting heritage and
sportsmen's rights, the National Rifle Association will consider the
vote on this amendment,'' the Altmire amendment, ``in our future
candidate ratings and endorsement. If the Altmire amendment is adopted,
the NRA will withdraw our current opposition to H.R. 2016.''
I repeat again, this motion to recommit is not about protecting the
second amendment. This motion to recommit is a ploy to effectively kill
the bill. If you cannot win arguments, it appears, through facts and
through rational discussion and debate, then you try to win votes by
using scare tactics and ploys. This is a ploy to kill the bill.
I urge a ``no'' vote on the motion to recommit.
Mr. Speaker, 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.
Recorded Vote
Mr. CANNON. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
