“The minority seems fixated on this notion that since the Senate passed their version of the House bill by a vote of 89-10 that somehow the House just needs to take their work product, no changes, just accept it, just vote for it. Well, less than 3 weeks ago, the Senate passed the Defense authorization bill by a vote of 93-7. Did the House just accept that and send it to the President? No. We requested a conference on December 7, and a week later, that conference report was approved by the House. So there's no reason other than the Senate's insistence on a monthlong vacation that we can't do the same here to provide a yearlong solution to the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance for a year, and a 2- year fix on the physician payments in Medicare, what's known as the SGR, the sustainable growth rate formula. Vote ``no'' on this motion to instruct. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. Pursuant to House Resolution 502, the previous question is ordered. The question is on the motion to instruct. The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that the noes appeared to have it.”
