Eleanor Holmes Norton: “It is more urgent than ever to make the District the 51st state.”

I urge Members to vote ``no.'' Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Goldman).

I think returning to a pre-Sackett regime would provide a uniform level of protection across the United States.

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.
