During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the purpose of debate only. General Leave

It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.
The bill before us is a clean, narrowly tailored continuing resolution that keeps the government open and operating. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Our conference refuses to let the obstruction and inaction of Senate Democrats trigger another manufactured shutdown at the end of September. That is why we are acting before a funding lapse crisis, not in response to it.
We want to take away the possibility of a shutdown between now and the election.
