Mr. Chair, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Connecticut. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Chair, we all know the enactment of appropriations will require bipartisan agreement on sound investments, not reckless cuts and partisan policy riders. Let us focus. Let us focus on opening the government and keeping it open. There is a bipartisan bill in the Senate that we are now debating--77-19--that is overwhelmingly bipartisan. It will come here. Let's put that bill up. Get bipartisan support on this floor. Bring these harmful consequences to the American people to a close. Don't close the government down.
