I have a motion at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Hoyer moves to refer the resolution to the Committee on Ethics. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland is…
This weekend, the Republican leader, Mr. McCarthy, went on ``Face the Nation'' and said the following: ``It is unacceptable that 800,000 U.S. employees are not being paid.'' He didn't add, but he should have, that 440,000 of them are being…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I think this is my first time in a long time of having a magic 1 minute, so I have some things to say. I was on the Appropriations Committee for 23 years. I came here in 1981. Between 1981 and 1995, we…

Mr. President, the Government of the United States partially has been shut down. That is the issue here. We can have the debate that the gentleman just discussed--not a word about opening up the people's government, not a word about…
The government is shut down. There is no excuse for that. But the President wants his way, and he has taken 800,000 people hostage, and the ransom he demands is his wall. {time} 1245 Nancy Pelosi has nothing to do with shutting down this…
I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 22 Resolved, Whereas, Walter B. Jones, a Representative-elect from the Third District of the State of North…
