The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2019” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H3083-H3087 on April 4, 2019.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

Ms. STEFANIK (during the reading). Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to dispense with the House reading.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman from New York?
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, in the United States, 1 in 3 women have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner; 1 in 7 women have been injured by an intimate partner; 1 in 10 women have been raped by an intimate partner; and 1 in 7 women have been stalked.
Let those numbers sink in for a moment. These are more than just numbers. These are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and colleagues in this Chamber.
Today's motion to recommit would extend the Violence Against Women Act through 2020 in order to continue critical services that protect millions of women, girls, and children across our country.
I have a proven track record of supporting VAWA, and today I am continuing the fight by standing up for the victims and survivors to make sure their voices are heard.
Last year, I introduced legislation that would extend the Violence Against Women Act; and then just last month, I introduced another bill that would reauthorize this program.
We all know, in this Chamber, that the bill Speaker Pelosi has put on the floor today will not pass the Senate and be signed into law. However, my bill, this motion to recommit, could pass the House, the Senate, and be signed into law this week.
This extension gives Republicans and Democrats time to work together to pass a truly bipartisan, long-term reauthorization of VAWA, just as Congress has done many times before.
Sadly, there has been very little effort from my Democratic colleagues to meaningfully engage in a process to reauthorize VAWA that could pass with broad bipartisan support.
The Democratic bill, H.R. 1585, was referred to seven House committees, but was only reported out of the Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote. It politicizes VAWA, and could put women, girls, and children at potential risk in the future.
Ending violence against women and protecting women and children should not be a partisan issue. But, unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have made it a partisan issue. They have refused to work with Republicans in a meaningful way to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act every chance they got, including most recently in February during spending negotiations.
House Democrats are the reason this law has lapsed, putting lives in jeopardy, and leaving victims, survivors, and families at risk. Every single minute that this critical, lifesaving program goes unauthorized is another minute that women who need help can't get it.
I ask my colleagues today; can we stop playing political games at the expense of vulnerable women?
We must. Voting ``yes'' on this motion to recommit is the only opportunity to extend current law. Voting ``no'' on this motion to recommit means that you are voting to end the Violence Against Women Act and, instead, knowingly voting for a partisan bill that will never see the light of day in the Senate. This will collect dust in the Senate.
Once again, the Democratic bill on the floor today will collect dust in the Senate. Scoring political points, we should never prioritize that over the millions of women and children in this country.
Let's pass this clean extension today to extend the Violence Against Women Act. Fight for millions of women in this country. Fight for survivors. Fight for victims.
I am asking you to vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit, and I yield back the balance of my time.
Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this motion to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Michigan is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I have nothing but great respect for my colleague who offered this; and I do wish that we could do this together and not politicize it. But that is exactly what we are doing.
This motion to recommit would just totally undermine this bill because it is a short and incomplete reauthorization; and it undermines the Violence Against Women Act and this important effort to reauthorize it.
This bill takes out things that have become so basic, like the Rape Prevention Fund, testing of rape case kits, which is a horror across this country in how many haven't been tested.
It takes away child abuse training. None of that is in this motion to recommit.
And what makes me really sad is that this bill is one of the most successful laws this House has passed. In the 25 years since it was enacted, violence against women by a spouse, or an intimate partner, has dropped by 65 percent. We need to build on that progress.
Since then, victims, survivors, and the communities where we live have relied on the Congress to help provide resources needed to prevent and investigate these crimes and to assist survivors.
I remember what it was like. I remember what it was like when you called the police and they didn't come because your father was an important man in town.
I remember what it was like when someone on our college campus was raped, and the police came to them and said: ``It's your fault'' and would do nothing.
And I don't want anybody in this House to forget that Michigan State University, with hundreds of victims, was only brought to the forefront last year, when hundreds of victims tried to tell people something was happening, and nobody would listen. We cannot go back to those days. Since the original passage of this bill, we have learned from experience and from the unfortunate continued perpetuation of these crimes.
This House, together, on a bipartisan basis, we authorized VAWA in 2000, 2005, and 2013. This bill builds on our progress and success. We must not only reauthorize it, but make its programs even more effective, and help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and other forms of harm with issues that they face.
Women are staying in these situations because they need to go to the doctor and they can't afford healthcare; they can't find a place to live; they don't have economic security. These are among the issues that this bill is trying to address.
This motion to recommit would kill the bill, and it leaves victims vulnerable.
I do volunteer work at these domestic--at places where people go for domestic abuse.
Have you talked to anybody there? Do you know how scared they are because funding is already being impacted?
Stepping back means looking the other way when victimization is taking place; and they are counting on us to do something. That is why we cannot undermine this important law.
And I am going to say one other thing. Do not let the NRA bully you. This is not a poison pill. The provision in this bill--don't forget who I was married to. John Dingell was on the NRA board. Hell, he helped start it. But all this does--we are not taking away due process. All this does is say that if someone has been convicted, convicted, as an intimate partner, that they would not have access to a gun. And if someone has been convicted of stalking--
You know what I would say to all of you?

So the bill was passed.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
Personal Explanation
Mr. RYAN. Mr. Speaker, due to a conflict on Thursday, April 4, 2019, I was not present to cast my vote on the Republican Motion to Recommit on H.R. 1585 and Final Passage of H.R. 1585, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2019.
As a cosponsor of H.R. 1585, I wholeheartedly support reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Had I been present my vote would have been NAY on Roll Call 155 and YEA on Roll Call 156.
