But if we can get some of these things off the table-- if we can agree on military pay, if we can agree on the civilian support staff for military, if we can agree on furloughed employees, and if we can agree with NIH, that science and public health should be off the table--then, Madam Speaker, that big gap that stands between us and the Senate right now, it begins to narrow, and we create a little bit of momentum for a solution. There are still going to be great differences that aren't going to be easy, but I think it is very important for us to come together and find the things on which we do agree, and at least move in a positive direction on them.
