As someone who has not served here as long as Tim--but for a pretty long time--I have gotten to know him very well when I have wandered across that side of the aisle. He always receives me with a very gracious attitude and is always very…

I thank my friend. There is no Democrat in this House, in the Senate, or in the White House who wants to shut down this government. As a matter of fact, we have not done that. It was done in '95 and in early '96. It was done last year when…

I thank the gentleman for that. Let me ask him further as he knows what is happening in the Senate and whether they can take those bills up: Does the gentleman contemplate, as the majority leader, or does he know whether the Speaker…
