Tonight, all we did is we asked the Senate to negotiate with the House. Mr. Speaker, interestingly enough, the Majority Leader in the Senate doesn't even want to talk to the House about as fundamental an issue as funding the government starting an hour and 20 minutes ago, and whether or not there should be no special treatment for anyone under the Affordable Care Act--no special treatment for big corporations at the expense of the average American, and no special treatment for Members of Congress and their staff and the President and the Cabinet and their staff. Mr. Speaker, the Majority Leader should negotiate on those, and I hope he changes his mind tomorrow morning. ____________________
