On the recordSeptember 30, 2015
I shall be brief. I appreciate the work of my colleague, Mrs. Lowey, ranking member on the committee, and all of the people on her side of the aisle and, of course, on our side of the aisle as well. This is a good bill. It is a responsible bill. It does not do anything controversial. It does do one important thing, and that is keep the government operating. We can't afford to abandon our soldiers, particularly those overseas in harm's way. We can't abandon the people that depend upon the programs that our Federal Government provides. I urge Members to vote ``yes'' on this bill. It is a good bill, and it keeps the government operating. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
