“We are going to go into overtime, that overtime will soon start. The gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer) has just gone through the history of the 6 years of the Republican control of the House, so I thought I would come back with the last 6 years of the Democratic control of the House. Let us go back starting in fiscal year 1990, because that would be 6 years back. Under the Democratic leadership in the House, they had 51 days of continuing resolution. The one we present today asks for only 6 days. In fiscal year 1991, they had 36 days; in fiscal year 1992, they had 57 days of overtime under CRs; in fiscal year 1993, they did a little better, because they only had 5 days; in fiscal year 1994, they had 41 days. In fiscal year 1995, and I give my colleague from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) credit, that was the year that he chaired the committee, the bills were all completed on time. During the 6 years of the Republican control, during one year no CR was needed. But the truth is we have had CRs, except for 2 years, in the last 12 years.”
