Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Without action, the government will shut down in the next 2 weeks, causing undue harm for our economy and hardworking families. This is unacceptable. Our continuing resolution will provide budget certainty for families, businesses, and communities while we negotiate long-term funding for our priorities and fight to give every person a better chance at a better life. I urge support, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired. Pursuant to House Resolution 564, the previous question is ordered on the bill.
