I thank the gentlewoman from New York, Ranking Member Lowey, for yielding me time. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of this legislation. As ranking member of the Financial Services Subcommittee, I wanted to discuss many of the improvements…

I thank the gentleman. And you are correct. You stuffed my first line. I live a few blocks away from Yankee Stadium, and so, for a Yankee fan to honor a Red Sox fan shows the kind of love and respect that I have for him. I don't know if I…

I thank the gentlewoman. Madam Speaker, I will strongly support this bill tonight because it not only opens our government but it enables us to meet our obligations in a proper way. But if we walk away from this tonight without having…

Well, then I will take it off, but it is with great pain that I do so. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the House bring up the Senate amendment to H.J. Res. 59, to open the government and go to conference on a budget so that we…

We are allowed to bring posters and photographs and other items to the floor, why not this red, white, and blue sticker? The SPEAKER pro tempore. Communicative badges are not allowed to be worn while Members are under recognition.

Let me start by saying that I wish we were here on the floor today in order to consider a bill that would reopen the entire Federal Government. This bill would pay all excepted Federal employees across the Federal Government as they would…

I would like briefly to clarify that it is a gentleman of the minority party that has objected and is holding up the pay bill in the Senate. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Van Hollen), a great leader and the ranking…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, we keep saying it, and the folks who keep watching us wonder why we keep saying it--or maybe they know why we keep saying it. Little by little, you are reopening the government, but…

I'd now like to yield 3 minutes to the gentlelady from the District of Columbia (Ms. Norton).
Oct 2, 2013
Not allowing them to use their local funds is something that has been said on that side many, many, many times. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell), the dean of the House. (Mr…

Oh, just checking what I was being charged with. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Understandable.

I now yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bishop) for a unanimous consent statement.

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 2 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Florida has 6 minutes remaining.
Oct 2, 2013
Just two quick points. First of all, the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa), the bill yesterday passed on a voice vote, and then he interrupted the Speaker and asked for a vote, which then led to a recorded vote. Secondly, I yield 2…

Does that mean that the Members cannot state why we should end this charade? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Members can state their unanimous consent request but cannot engage in debate thereon. The gentlewoman can continue.
Oct 1, 2013
It's very interesting to hear my colleague, Mr. Speaker, speak about that. I wish we had recorded him--maybe we have--how many times Mrs. Lowey got up during appropriations meetings and said, Let's go to conference. In fact, once, she said…

Just to inform the gentleman, I am the last speaker. We have no further speakers.
