I want to thank Ranking Serrano, and ask unanimous consent that the House bring up the Senate amendment to H.J. Res. 59, the clean continuing resolution, so we can go to conference on a real budget. Let's end this Republican government shutdown that is already harming economic recovery and has already slowed growth by a third of 1 percent. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under guidelines consistently issued by successive speakers, as recorded in section 956 of the House Rules and Manual, the Chair is constrained not to entertain the request unless it has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leaderships.
