Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I just remind my friends, for the VA, which we both support, we offered more money than the administration asked for. It is pretty notorious for not doing a very good job of budgeting. That hasn't changed over the years. That is why we took away their ability to build hospitals. Finally, I agree with my good friend from Minnesota about the importance of trying to get things done for the military, but I would remind everybody here that there has been a long history of CRs on both sides of the aisle. These aren't that unusual. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), my very good friend.
