On the recordApril 7, 2011
I want to ask the chairman if he will yield to me for the purposes of making a unanimous consent request that we proceed with what we would call a clean CR, which would provide for the funding of the troops, provide for the funding of all other government agencies at the levels that we are currently at, which of course involve all the cuts that have been made to date in the last two CRs that we passed and for which I voted. I tell my friend, the reason I want to propound this unanimous consent, it will in fact provide for a document, an act, to pass this House which I believe will in fact pass the Senate and will in fact be signed by the President. As a result, we will protect our troops and we will protect all other services that government has available for the American people. I ask my friend if he will yield to me for that purpose. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
