“Reclaiming my time, I thank the majority leader for going through the schedule and walking through some of the bills we are going to be taking up next week. As we just dealt with disaster funding, I know the gentleman is well aware of the disagreements that have been expressed by many on our side, as well as the President and some Senators over there, about some of the things that weren't in the disaster bill, some of the problems regarding the crisis at the border, to help make sure that we can do better at addressing that crisis that is real and that is growing, as well as some of the problems that were identified in the agriculture funding that was included in the bill where it was identified that there are some problems in the language to help some of our farmers get the actual money that they needed. A lot of those fixes have been negotiated, and those talks have gone on for a few weeks now. I would hope that as the bill goes over to the Senate, the gentleman and his side would continue to work with our side--House, Senate, Republican, and Democrat--to achieve a bipartisan disaster relief bill that can ultimately get all these problems addressed and signed by the President. Those conversations are ongoing. Hopefully, they will continue through the weekend, and when the bill gets over to the Senate, then we can try to get all of that resolved so we can quickly move that bill through the process to the President's desk.…”
