Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. A couple of questions, but first, I want to ask: It is my understanding that on May 19, next week, we are supposed to be swearing in the new Members of Congress who were elected this week…

``We are about 7 days away from shutting our doors down for good and possibly declaring bankruptcy. We don't know what else to do. I'm tired of crying myself to sleep every night wondering what tomorrow holds. Will we lose everything we…
