On the recordNovember 3, 2017
Before I call on my next person to say something here, there are 17,000 children in Mr. Pallone's district and 14 health centers that, if he votes ``no,'' he will be voting against. By the way, the offset he recommended, people who are watching this need to know, would violate statute and it would be a PAYGO violation. That is why it was not acceptable. See, this is the problem we faced. We delayed three times at their request only to be offered up a pay-for that violates statute and violates our PAYGO rules. We could not accept that. We have to operate within the law like everyone else in America. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess).
