Mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker without objection, the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Poe mr. Speaker, members have been given access to a top secret memo by the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence regarding the foreign Intelligence Surveillance act. The memo is disturbing. Years i have or worked to reign in years i have worked to reign in fisas abuse of americans constitutional rights. The memo along with supporting evidence from other Government Agencies should immediately be declassified. Despite the shutdown, the process to release this document to the American Public and the media has begun. There is also an overclassification of documents by government. They have nothing to do with National Security. The American People and the media must see what our government is doing in secret without americas knowledge. The memo is proof that government cannot be trusted. In the words of thomas jefferson, educate and inform the whole mass of people. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. Mr. Speaker, the memo shows this is not the america our forefathers envisioned. Thats just the way it is. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. For what purpose does the gentlelady from texas seek recognition . Unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for ne minute. Ms. Jackson lee mr. Speaker, day three of this shut down thousands of thousands of federal employees not working, the leader of the republicans in the senate has moved with ome offer that would hopefully be something to start with. But i applaud the democratic leadership in the other body because they have been focusing on what we want and that is parity. National security parity for Childrens Health care and federally qualified Health Clinics and veterans. But the people who have imploded this, of course, is the president and his staff, with vulgarity and then breaking up a deal on last friday. So if were serious, we need to be able to work on what the issues are. And that is domestic spending to have parity to ensure that the families of our soldiers are likewise provided for. I support the National Security needs of this nation as a Homeland Security member for since the tragedy and heinous terrorist act of 9 11, but i believe National Security goes with providing for their families. When are we going to do that and provide for innocent dreamers who have done nothing but come to this country to be able to do what is right. I have a unanimous consent, mr. Speaker, i ask the speaker pro tempore the gentlelady is recognized. Ms. Jackson lee mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to bring up h. R. 4872, the end the shut down act of 2018, a continuing resolution that would immediately open and reopen the government with a clean c. R. While negotiations continue on a budget agreement that adheres to the parity and on other Critical Issues so that we can end the trump shut down. The speaker pro tempore a unanimous consent request for the consideration of that measure would have to have received clearance by the majority and minority floor and committee leaderships. The chair is unaware of such clearance. Therefore the chair cannot entertain that request at this time. For what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition . Mr. Thompson request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. Revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Thompson thank you, mr. Speaker. This threeday Senate Democrat shut down is wrong. And it is time for the Senate Democrats to do their jobs. They voted against a noncontroversial continuing resolution that fully funded the Childrens HealthInsurance Program for six years. This is perplexing because for the past several months nearly every democrat has cited chip as one of their most important priorities. But apparently it isnt more important than playing politics. Senate democrats who voted against providing health care to nine million Vulnerable Children need to be held accountable. The total number of children enrolled in the chip program in pennsylvania in fiscal year 2016 was 342,268 children. That means that 12. 8 of children in pennsylvania are at risk of losing health care because of Senate Democrats playing partisan politics. Putting politics before the wellbeing of kids living in poverty and financially distressed homes is flat out wrong. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to call on the senators who have been blocking funding the chip Childrens HealthInsurance Program to open the federal government. Mr. Speaker, nobody benefits from the politics of a Government Shutdown, and million of children are being hurt. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from oregon seek recognition . Unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Blumenauer thank you, mr. Speaker. I share the frustration of the American Public who overwhelming support protecting oung dreamers, authorizing the Childrens Health program, and the Community Health septemberers that serve them. Centers that serve them. Funding government long term not weektoweek. Part of the solution is obvious, donald trump should not be in the negotiations. In part because he doesnt understand the complexities. It appears he doesnt even understand the basics. He frequently changes his mind. Agreeing with what he last saw on fox news or heard from the talked to. He the weekend news was filled with accounts of his confusion and how destructive his participation has been. Acknowledged by republicans and democrats alike even frustrating its own staff. Maybe its time to ignore donald trump and his tweets. Send him lots of cheeseburgers and keep this news off fox without trumps parmings participation well reach a bert solution and we will do it faster. Better solution and well ta do it faster. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina seek recognition . Mr. Wilson i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. Revise and extend. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Wilson mr. Speaker, this weekend south carolinians saw the damaging impacts of the schumer shutdown. 2,200 Service Members in the South CarolinaNational Guard who had drills scheduled were forced to go home after driving across to the state from all over the southeast. I know firsthand as a disruption as a guard veteran myself and grateful dad of three sons who served in the guard overseas. 70 soldiers operating on active duty, Operational Support orders, had their orders terminated and will no longer have insurance or income as of today. Approximately 750 federal technicians who handle mechanics for the National Guard will be laid off today. This is not only devastating to families, it will negatively impact readiness of our forces which i recognize as chairman of the readiness subcommittee. The guard has 80 soldiers who were planning to attend necessary training this weekend, but thosis drills have been canceled, resulting in soldiers not being qualified for eligible for promotion due to missing training. This is a sad example of just the impact on the South Carolina guard members. Senate democrats need to stop holding military funding hostage. In conclusion, god bless our troops and well never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition . To address the house for one minute. Unanimous consent for one minute. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for one minute without objection. Mr. Speaker, on the third ay of this reckless Government Shutdown, i rise to urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find Common Ground and end this gridlock. Families in arizona and america are hurting. Its past time for congress to come together to boost oiler military. We boost our military. We must reauthorize funding for children Health Insurance program, Community Health centers, and the Diabetes Program for tribal communities and many others. Mr. Speaker, i cant go back to business we cant go back to business as usual and continue to fund our military a few weeks at a time. Second mattis and our military leaders have been secretary mattis and our military leaders have been clear about the dire impacts of the continuing resolutions on our National Security time and time again throughout this year. Mr. Ohalleran were facing increasing global threats. We cannot understand our defense leaders and our troops by refusing to Work Together. Were here to solve problems. For our brave Service Members and families across our communities, lets get the job done. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. For what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition . A identified like to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Speaker, we have done our job, President Trump is doing his. The house has passed a spending bill that keeps the government opened, funds our military, and helps protect health care for millions of lowincome children. Senate democrats only want to obstruct President Trump. They are opposed to a mill that has everything in it that they are not opposed to, but they hold out for more, why . Mr. Messer because they are putting amnesty for Illegal Immigrants above lawabiding citizens. This is unacceptable. They are putting amnesty for Illegal Immigrants ahead of health care for lowincome children. They are putting amnesty for Illegal Immigrants ahead of funding our military. They wont allow anything that includes President Trumps wall. This is inexcusable. We need border security. We need to keep our government opened. We need to fund our military. And we need to provide health care for millions of lowincome children. This is not a complicated matter and votes should hold democrats in the house and senate responsible. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. For what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition . I ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. Revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one inute. Mr. Speaker, this shut down is an unnecessary selfcreated crisis driven by an unwillingness to compromise. The American People deserve better. Mr. Sha raider there are mr. Schneider there are solutions that responsibly fund our government and Childrens Health and Community Health care centers to dreamers to disaster relief. I have been meeting with members on both sides of the aisle, including the problem solvers caucus, i know there is a real willingness to get this done. What we need is congressional leadership and a president willing to negotiate and allow a vote. Were almost four months into a fiscal year with no budget. We passed three continuing resolutions since september. But we cannot continue with these endless shortterm patches. They are irresponsible, hurt our nation, and hamper our militarys ability to plan for the fuhr. The Navy Secretary likened it to putting 4 billion in a trash can, pouring lighter fluid on it, and setting it on fire. The clock is ticking. The last shutdown in 2013 cost our economy 24 billion. This wont be resolved by one side going it alone. Lets end the political games. Stop the finger pointing and do the work the American People sent us here to do. Mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to bring up h. R. 4872, the end the shutdown act of 2018. A continuing resolution that would immediately reopen the government while negotiations can continue on a budget agreement that adheres to parity and other Critical Issues. The speaker pro tempore as the chair previously advised that request cannot be entertained absent appropriate clearance. For what purpose does gentleman from california seek recognition . Unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minutes. Mr. Lamalfa were now 60 hours into the schumer shutdown. Only because Senate Democrats, senate and House Democrats would like to join them, in forcing through an unfinished hurried immigrationpolicy. This fole here, i wont name his name, is on trial in Northern California for killing two police officers. He was twice deported from arizona. When the killings were described by others in the court, this fellow laughed and smiled as it was recalled. He then launch add profane tirade claiming his own regret he didnt kill more than two officers and heed escape from jail and do it again. Ill queet part of him. I dont blank regret that. The only thing i blank regret is i only killed two. I wish i blank killed more. I will break out sooner and kill more. Hes promised when he gets out he will kill more. Does anybody out there believe that under current policy with the receive of a border we have he wont fulfill that promise . Do we think that the families of danny and michael or the families of kate steinle have confidence that it isnt going to happen and justice will ever be served . We dont link this the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentlewoman from connecticut seek recognition . Unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. Ms. Delauro at the heart of this Government Shutdown is the president and the republicans inability to govern except to give huge tax cuts to the 1 and their corporate donors. The constitution empowers the congress to appropriate the funds for the general wellbeing and for national defense. Instead, the republicans are asking us to fund the government 30 days at a time. We will not be lectured on the health and the safety of our children by a party who has refused to fund Community Health centers, a party who drags their feet for months while the families whose children are on chip are terrified about the future of the program. If they are concerned about Childrens Health they would make the chip program permanent. This isnt about chip. Dont insult the intelligence of the American People. Just look what happened in the senate. They refused to take up a permanent chip bill. Republicans are using chip as a bargaining chip and nothing more. Do not hide behind our children. Reopen this government before people get hurt. We will not cave in to bullying and brinksmanship. We are here to govern, not to play a
