On the recordDecember 21, 2018
I thank my colleague from Maryland and the body and now urge the House of Representatives to take this up immediately. This has now passed the U.S. Senate, and they now have an opportunity to pass this over in the House, and I would urge them to do it this evening or as soon as possible so that we can provide certainty and confidence to hard-working Federal employees. Again, we want to avoid a shutdown, but we need to provide an insurance policy in the event that it does shut down.
