Steven Horsford: “I thank the vice chairman, Mr. Butterfield, for his constructive…”

On the recordOctober 7, 2013

I thank the vice chairman, Mr. Butterfield, for his constructive remarks and calling once again for the Speaker to bring a clean resolution to the floor. We know that the votes are here to pass a clean continuing resolution, one that would reopen government, one that would be supported by Republicans and Democrats; and so the Congressional Black Caucus comes to this floor at this hour to ask the Speaker of this House to do the will of the people and the will of this body. At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Lewis), a civil rights icon, a man who speaks truth to power.
