Tom Cole: “I can tell you I have certainly had concerns expressed from my Department of Transportation in Oklahoma...”

We're going to be in a crunch time.

I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano), the distinguished ranking member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee.

It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.

In that case, may I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oklahoma has 6 minutes remaining.
