I thank the Presiding Officer and yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Oklahoma.

I thank my good friend from Arizona for not only his remarks but also the thoughtfulness of his remarks on the U.S.-India relationship. I listened to them carefully and am glad to join in and look forward to his report. We have had a…

It is now my pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer), another distinguished member of our committee.

The whip is so correct. The gentleman from Indiana is very confused. He is using his voting card as a credit card. $73 billion on this bill. Our voting card is not a credit card, but the Republicans are turning this into a credit card…

Well, since you stated how many times I have voted to extend temporarily, I will now yield some time to Mr. Van Hollen and then I will continue. Mr. Speaker, I yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Van…
