I am stretching the parliamentary inquiry, the nature of this, but did the Speaker hear Mr. Meadows objecting to my unanimous consent request? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The request was not even entertained.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 1, noes 418, answered ``present'' 1, not voting 10, as follows: [Roll No. 37] AYES--1 Massie NOES--418 Abraham Adams…

We are confronting a very serious situation, as all of us know, and that is we have not reached agreement on how to fund the government between now and September 30 of this year. Almost one-third of fiscal year 2018 is gone. At some point…

We want to address other urgent health priorities as well. You want to pass CHIP, but you do not want to pass the community health centers. My colleague Betty McCollum told us about that. Many CHIP children will have no place to go--you…

I thank the gentleman for that information. I presume the CR, or continuing resolution, is anticipated, as the gentleman referenced. Is that accurate? Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, nobody has any intention, of course, of holding the military hostage. Secretary Mattis and his predecessors have all believed that a CR is damaging to the military's ability to move forward and plan. I…

What a sad state of affairs. There are scores of critically important issues that need to be considered by this House, not the least of which is funding our government. We failed to do that, and now we are confronted with a bill that is…
