Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Kelly).”

This CR is an act of fiscal sabotage against the District of Columbia and an abuse of Congress' power over disenfranchised D.C. This CR will result in an immediate cut of more than $1 billion from D.C.'s $21 billion budget 6 months into…

I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.

D.C.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.

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