I also am a cosponsor of this legislation. It is very important. Let us remember what Santayana said: "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." Having had these major shutdowns of Government, let us not repeat it. Let us remember who is being victimized: the Federal employees, the contractors, and all of the public who are denied services because those on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue cannot come together on what they were elected to do; namely, come out with a budget. We must not have this victimization. This is an excellent amendment. I commend the gentleman for it. I wholeheartedly support it.
