I agree with my friend, the minority whip. I agree with the minority leader. As I have said to my friend very respectfully, if I have time remaining at the end, I would be happy to yield. But at the moment, I do not. Very respectfully to my friend. And it's not just my friend, the minority whip. It's not just the minority leader. It's President Barack Obama: ``I want the American people to urge Congress soon to begin the work we have by doing what we all agree on. We already all agree on making sure middle class taxes don't go up. So let's get that done.'' We did. Now some Republicans voted ``no,'' and some Democrats voted ``no.'' But the Chamber came together, and we got that done. We're in the same place today, Mr. Speaker. If one of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle disagrees with any one of these provisions, believes any one of these provisions is not worthy of their vote, if they do not affirmatively want to see these programs reopen, I would like to hear that from my friends. But Mr. Speaker, they do. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.

We have no further speakers. I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I can't say it any better than my friends from Missouri and Florida have just said it. My colleague from Pennsylvania is absolutely…

And I want to thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for yielding me the time. She and I have the pleasure of serving on the Congressional Modernization Committee together--a bipartisan committee--and it is not infrequent that we will have…
