I urge all Members to vote ``yes'' on this amendment. Again, this is a simple modification that will allow Native American tribes to enter into agreements to house the employees of the Public Lands Service Corps just like Federal agencies, States, localities, and private organizations. This designation will give the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior more housing options for these workers and will allow the tribes to be more fully engaged in the program.
The speaker is advocating for an amendment to support Native American tribes in housing Public Lands Service Corps employees.

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 will engage where it matters, we will invest where it counts, and we will demand accountability for every dollar spent.
It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.
