So here we are at the end of the debate, and where are we? The Progressive substitute, what would it do? It would raise taxes on the American family. It would increase spending throughout the country. It would put programs such as…

At this point, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Oklahoma, a member of the Budget Committee, Mr. Lankford.

I thank the CBC for actually coming to the floor with a budget, something that the President of the United States has not been able to do four out of five times, even though it is the law of the land that he is required to do so. So I…

And just to take a word from the gentlelady from California, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Williams), who has actually walked the walk and created jobs to create more American prosperity.

I would ask the Chair how much time remains on both sides. The CHAIR. The gentleman from New Jersey has 3 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Arizona has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining.

In recognizing that we can create the jobs and the prosperity by not raising taxes at the same time, I yield now 3 minutes to the gentlelady from Missouri (Mrs. Hartzler).

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I rise today, as they say, in opposition to the Progressive Caucus substitute. While my friends across the aisle are motivated by good intentions, I believe that their substitute is…

I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman who played a critical role in fashioning the budget that is before us, the Republican budget, the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Rokita).

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, today I rise because today's budget is the budget that helps American families. I rise today to support a budget that recognizes that the status quo is not only unacceptable to American…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 160, line 2, strike ``and'' and after such line insert the following: (5) by redesignating subsection (f) as…

I begin by saying I associate myself with the words of the gentlelady over there in that we should not put the burden on the least in this country, and that's why we support this legislation before us and this amendment. I now yield 20…

I just want to reiterate that we are on the exact same page with our colleagues from the other side of the aisle. We understand the burdens that the Americans across this country are suffering right now. We understand that the burden and…

I want to thank the chairman, and I also want to thank the gentlelady from North Carolina--I'm not sure if she's here right now--for her efforts to make necessary and meaningful changes and reforms to the SKILLS Act. The Federal Government…

I thank the gentleman. Right now, as we stand here, the national debt in this country stands over $16 trillion, and one-third of that was rung up just during this President Obama's administration. And some outside expert says, what does…

``If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment…

At this time, I yield 2 minutes to a gentleman from a State which is not immune to natural disasters, the gentleman from California (Mr. Issa).

The list of cosponsors to this legislation submitted this morning should be treated as original cosponsors, reflecting their intent to, in fact, be on the legislation when it was introduced last night. I rise today to continue the process…

I inquire as to the time remaining on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has 4\3/4\ minutes remaining, and the gentleman from New York has 6\3/4\ minutes remaining.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to suspend the rules on H.R. 41 will be followed by a 5-minute on approval of…

I have no further requests for time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New Jersey has the right to close.

In recognizing that some on the other side of the aisle can't take ``yes'' for an answer, I reserve the balance of my time.

First of all, I yield myself 15 seconds just to set the record straight. With regard to the legislation before us, which is a flood insurance program, the aid under this program is going and has been going to the recipients in the affected…

At this point, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Westmoreland) who realizes it's not just what we do on the floor but it's also the volunteering and the dedication to help these people as well.

At this time, I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Runyan), who has seen firsthand the devastation to our State.

I'm now pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York, who has actually led the efforts on the ground putting the shoulder to the grindstone, so to speak, to actually help and restore some of these people's homes.
