our elections are generally well run in this country. the winners almost always are certified the winners of the election. there's no real indication of massive fraud. there's no real indication of suppression of minorities to any reasonable degree across the country. sure, there's mis-and mal-administration of elections on occasions and fraud does 457 but these are incidental issues. the last election should not have triggering any resembling an election crisis. which of course is totally different than in 2000. in 2000, the bush v. gore race was genuinely in doubt following the election. and there were two states in which you really, frankly, had to do a recount to have any

reason to believe that the >> negotiations continue over the infrastructure bill. coverage of the house here on c-span. holy god, may we bask in the warmth of your gracious care and may you we find strength. be our guide. satisfy our need in the heat of the worst of our moments. where there is a desert of home, replenish our souls. make strong our bodies with the certainty of your protection. in your mercy, renew us like a well-watered garden. be to us an oasis whose waters never fail. may then we be restored and ready once again, responsive to the vastness of need we see before us. we follow you in faith and in your name we pray, amen.

the speaker pro tempore: the pledge of allegiance will be led by the gentleman from montana, mr. rosendale. mr. rosendale: i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 4 of rule 1, the following enrolled bill was signed by the speaker on thursday, september 30, 2021. the speaker pro tempore: h.r. 5305, making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending september 30, 2021, and providing emergency assistance and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the

chair lays before the house a communication. the clerk: the honorable the speaker, house of representatives, madam, pursuant to the permission granted in clause 2-h of rule 2 of the rules of the u.s. house of representatives, the clerk received the following message from the secretary of the senate on october 1, 2021, at 1:06 p.m. that the senate passed senate 558, senate 1037, senate 2923, signed sincerely, cheryl l. johnson, clerk. the speaker pro tempore: the chair lays before the house an enrolled bill. the clerk: senate 848, an act to amend the higher education act of 1965, in order to improve the service obligation verification process for teach grant recipients and for other purposes.

the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? ms. garcia: i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings on the question of adoption of the motion that the house suspend the rules offered on legislative day of july 26, 2021, or september 29, 2021, they continue to be postponed to the legislative day of october 22, 2021. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the chair will postpone further proceedings today on motions to suspend the rules on which the yeas and nays are ordered. the house wi resume proceedings on the postponed questions at a later time. for what purpose does the gentleman from oregon seek recognition? mr. defazio: mr. speaker, i move the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 5434, the surface transportation extension act of 2021.

the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 5434, a bill to provide an extension of federal-aid highway, highway safety and transit programs and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from oregon, mr. defazio, and the gentleman from missouri, mr. graves, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon. mr. defazio: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 5434. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. defazio: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. defazio: mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 5434, the surface transportation extension act of 2021. i wish that we were not at this point, calling up a short-term extension of federal highway, safety, transit, transportation programs and yet here we are. the house did its work. we passed the invest act on july

4, h.r. 3684, a five-year transformative re-authorization of surface transportation for the nation, dealing with climate change, resilience, creating jobs, social equity, a host of other things, and rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. the senate did something different, but they did pass the infrastructure investment and jobs act, senate amendment 3684, which also included a five-year authorization of surface transportation programs. we have not yet found a path forward for both chambers to pass the same version of this bill. but we do need to act immediately to restore the ability of federal surface transportation programs to function, to prevent putting thousands, almost 4,000 department of transportation employees out of work for additional time. we need to act now to avoid

further ramifications for surface transportation programs. at 12:01 a.m. today, october 1, 2021, u.s. department transportations funded by the highway trust fund had to shut down due to a lapse in the authorization. 3,700 employees received furlough notices they could not work today or had to work without pay due to a temporary shutdown of thes programs. beginning this morning, the authority for federal highway, transit, highway safety and motor carrier safety programs lapsed. that means until congress passes an extension or replacement authorization, the furlough will continue, the federal highway administration can't provide any new funding to states, the district of columbia, territories, federal highway can continue reimbursing states for obligations incurred before the lapse, but that's not enough. the federal transportation administration can't issue new funding to 1,300 transit grantees that rely on federal grants to fund construction by

vehicles, equipment, some cases pay for operating costs. they can continue to make payments for grants issued before october 1, but that's not good enough. the national highway traffic safety administration can't award new highway traffic safety grants, the federal motor carrier must stop issuing new grants. the office of the secretary can't make any loans which are critical to many large projects. the surface transportation extension act of 2021 will allow the department of transportation to restart operations, programs, funded by the highway trust fund through october 31, 2021, bring employees back to work. it will allow d.o.t. to provide back pay to employees who had to miss work through no fault of their own and those that worked without pay. the bill includes adjustment of program levels should the congress have an infrastructure bill, h.r. 3684, during the

extension period. finally, the bill provides a similar short-term extension for the appalachian regional convention and the dingell fish restoration act. i ask colleagues to support this legislation so we can work through a final resolution between the house and the senate. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from missouri is recognized. mr. graves: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. graves: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i'm planning to support this short-term extension of highway programs because it's a clean extension , it's the right thing to do at this point. at midnight last night, funding for these programs expired because i suppose speaker pelosi and the majority brought this lapse or thought this lapse and shutdown would be minimal. maybe we should ask the thousands of workers who are now furloughed, our state department of transportation and other stakeholders whether they also -- would also minimize the

majority's inaction and the game playing that's taking place. let me be clear, the speaker's partisan process is what led us to this point. and this chaos highlights more than ever the need for us to be working across the aisle. getting a bipartisan highway and infrastructure bill done should be the easiest thing we do in congress. bipartisanship has always been the formula for success in infrastructure, and that hasn't changed. in my 20 years in congress, i've supported three highway -- all three highway bills that have been signed into law, all three of them were bipartisan, all three under republican chairmen. i stand ready and committed to participate in a truly bipartisan process that involves input from both the house and the senate, not just one chamber. republicans have put forth an infrastructure principle -- infrastructure bills in numerous pieces of legislation, and we were ready to come to the negotiating table, but we didn't

get that opportunity. republicans warned that a partisan path would put us in position like this, and here we are. nevertheless, we remain ready to come to the table and get back to the bipartisan tradition on infrastructure. passing this extension is the right thing to do. the last thing we need is a series of short-term extensions. short-term extensions are extremely detrimental to the states, to the stakeholders, and to the jobs that support these critical projects and the programs. short-term extensions mean leaving states with uncertainty in their plans to fix, to maintain, and upgrade roads and bridges. you can't plan multi-year infrastructure and highway projects with a guarantee of only a few weeks of funding at a time. it's time to get back to what works -- bipartisanship on both sides of the capitol -- of capitol hill is the key to success when it comes to infrastructure. that said, i would urge my colleagues to support this clean

extension and with that i reserve the balance of my time. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defazio: i believe i have the right to close. i have no further speakers. i would reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from missouri is recognized. mr. graves: i'm prepared to close, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. graves: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. again, this process has been horribly managed and it's unfortunate in a we didn't take this action before transportation programs were shut down and we had people that got furloughed. having said that, we need to provide this certainty for state d.o.t.'s and for our transportation stakeholders. therefore, i do urge for this clean short-term extension. it doesn't cost anything. it's the right thing to do. with that i would yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defazio: i would urge all my colleagues to support this short-term extension, put d.o.t. back to work and get on with the

critical business of rebuilding america's infrastructure. with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 5434. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 having responded in the affirmative, the rules are suspended -- mr. graves: mr. speaker. i ask for a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to 3-s of house resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device.
