If we were serious about passing a bill that has been rehashed in this House and no action has been taken upon it, common sense and reason would dictate that we would work with the Democrats, work with the Senate, and work with the President to get one passed.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from California (Ms. Waters).
