On the recordOctober 16, 2002
Mr. Speaker, if I were the Federal budget, I would be saying to the Republican leadership of this House, ``Where's the rest of me?'' Because even though we have been in session since January, the only two appropriation bills that are going to become law if this resolution passes, the only two appropriation bills that will become law before the election, will be the defense appropriation bill and the military construction appropriation bill. So those Members in Congress who think that the only thing government ought to do is defend the shores and deliver the mail will get at least half their wish. At least they will be defending our shores, but we will not even have passed the bill that deals with the post office.
