Speaker, i yield myself four minutes. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Mccarthy mr. Speaker, for three days the nation has watched as tens of thousands of federal employees were forced to stay home. As our men and women in uniform went without pay, as Opioid Treatment Centers got cut off, and as parents faced the harrowing prospect that their children would lose their health insurance. The American People never wanted this to happen. Republicans in the congress did not want this to happen and we did everything in our power to make sure this didnt happen. The house passed a clean bill, a bipartisan majority in the senate voted to pass that clean bill, but Senate Democrats shut it down. We were told it was about immigration, but republicans always said that we would sit at the table. We already were at the table every single day before this shutdown. Negotiating in good faith. Despite this Political Drama mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, the house is not in order. I am having trouble hearing the gentleman. The speaker pro tempore the house will come to order. Members will remove themselves from the aisles and remove their conversations from the house. The house will come to order. Members will remove their conversations from the house nd clear the aisles. The gentleman from california is recognized. Mr. Mccarthy we were told this was about immigration, but republicans already said we would sit at the table. We already were at the table every single day before this shutdown, negotiating in good faith. Now, despite this Political Drama, i remain eager to get back to the table and put this all behind us. So i must ask, what was gained here at the expense of the American People . What was gained at the expense of our nations reputation as a great and deliberative republic . Every policy in the house original bill, the Senate Passed today. Every single policy is the same. If the senate had passed this same bill on friday, all this disgraceful political theater would have never happened. Now as it always should have been, our government will open. Our troops will be paid, and our children will have health insurance. But thats not enough. We cannot continue to repeat the same mistakes again. Now, as my father used to tell me, its not your mistakes that define you, its what you learn from them. So lets commit to each other and to the American Public that we will not continue to fund our government through these shortterm c. R. s. Lets commit that we will pass through both houses every appropriation bill with full funding for our troops, full funding for our defense, and full funding for every service our government owes to its people. We all know this shutdown was an embarrassment. It didnt need to happen. It should have never happened, and it will not happen again. That, mr. Speaker, is the government the people want, the government the people need, and the government the American People deserve. I reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from maryland is recognized. Mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, i yield myself three minutes and 30 seconds. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for three minutes and 30 seconds. Mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, as i said this morning, the reason why the government shut down is because the republican majority has failed to fund the government. They have the majority of the house, the majority of the senate, and the presidency of the United States. And with all due respect to my friend, the majority leader, five previous shutdowns were purposefully perpetrated by my republican friends, the last for 16 days. The continuing resolution on the floor today reflects that failure. It does not nine months after we should have been done establish the level of spending for this fiscal year. Nine months late. As a result, another continuing resolution may be inevitable, and in this resolution we will extend the harmful effects of another c. R. To both defense and nondefense agencies for another 17 days. That means the congress will be more than four whole months into the fiscal year without a budget agreement. This is dangerous, mr. Speaker, both to our military and to our civilian agencies, each of which require budget certainty. Before february 8, republicans must work with democrats to resolve the issues at hand. This means working together to lift the budget caps in accordance with the principle of parity which speaker ryan agreed to over the past four years and should continue till today and in the future. It also means working in a bipartisan, bicameral way to address the status of dreamers. Now that President Trump created a crisis with his ending of the daca program. Congress should act responseably to allow these young people responsibly to allow these young people to say as more than 80 of americans believe should be done. And, mr. Speaker, it requires reauthorizing Community Health centers and other Critical Health programs, essential to complement the passage of the chip reauthorization, which is included in this c. R. We also, my colleagues, have a responsibility to help those impacted by the devastating hurricanes in texas, florida, puerto rico, and the u. S. Virgin islands. Those affected by the wilderness fires in california. And communities struggling to combat opioid abuse. Congress must not waste the next 17 days as it has the last 114. I will be voting no, mr. Speaker, on this continuing resolution, not because i dont want to see it pass, but because it does not guarantee that the congress will address the issues that have been referenced. I pray that neither i nor the congress will be in this same position come february 8. I hope we will address in a positive manner the issues before us and i am now pleased, mr. Speaker, to yield one minute to the minority leader. The speaker pro tempore the gentlewoman from california is recognized. Ms. Pelosi thank you, mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding, and associate myself fully with his remarks. Thank you, mr. Hoyer, for your great leadership. Mr. Speaker, i rise in opposition to the republicans latest stopgap funding bill. I take great pride in House Democrats overwhelmingly supporting the first continuing resolution in september to give the majority a chance to get the job done. But after months of republicans excuses and extensions, i refuse to be an enabler to the republicans failures any longer. This past week once again exposed the utter incompetence of the republicancontrolled government. Here we are ending the trump shutdown with republicans fourth stopgap shortterm bill, the fourth republicans have failed to get their act together, the fourth time to fund the government for a full year. In august, defense secretary an is asked what would be effect with another shortterm stopgap mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, the house is not in order. The speaker pro tempore the house will be in order. The gentlewoman will withhold. The house shall come together. Remove your conversation from the house and remove keep the aisles open. The gentlewoman will resume. Ms. Pelosi thank you, mr. Speaker. In august, defense secretary mattis was asked what would be the effect of another stopgap shortterm spending bill on the military. You all know he replied, it just creates unpredictability, he said. It makes us rigid. We cannot deal with new and revealing threats. We know our enemies are not standing still, so its as unwise as it can be. Ill submit other statements to the record from the navy secretary, etc. Now the trump shutdown will end but the republicans wasteful incompetence will continue. There is a dark cloud over the capitol, mr. Speaker. The g. O. P. Tax scam which added nearly 2 trillion to the national debt. Republicans have made their choice. Tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest are more important than certainty for our military. Republicans control the house, senate, the white house. We could have brought up a longterm bill long before now. We have placed our suggestions on the table as to what would be on the domestic side of that. Resources for Opioid Epidemic that kills 94 people every day in our country. Funding for veterans infrastructure and services. Saving millions of americans pensions in crisis today. For funding Community Health centers and lifesaving research at the n. I. H. , childcare for hardworking parents, protecting patriotic young dreamers. And as our distinguished whip said earlier, making sure we have the resources for those affected by hurricanes, for fires, and especially our folks in puerto rico and the virgin islands. Im going to submit some of that for the record. Because of the republicans majoritys weakness, we still dont have a longterm spending bill to that funds the military and the domestic investments that keep our america strong. We take an oath of office to protect and defend. Now we have to fund that. We have not delivered strong Disaster Recovery funding for puerto rico, the virgin islands, and other victims of hurricanes. Congressional democrats continue to propose bipartisan solutions, but republicans refuse to take yes for an answer. We have not yet protected our courageous young dreamers. Not only should we protect them, we should embrace them. Value them. We should be grateful for the inspiration they are to america. This is about meeting the needs of the American People. It is also about honoring the values that have made our nation a beacon to the world. Today we end the trump shutdown, but it does not diminish our leverage or our determination on the democratic side to meet the needs of the American People. Democrats are united in our determination to get the job done. We are unified for a better deal, better jobs, better pay, and a better future. I urge a no vote and i yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentlewoman yields back the balance of her time. The gentleman from maryland is recognized. Has 30 seconds remaining. Mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, and my colleagues. E have 10 1 2 days left before we have another crisis in funding our government. Let us try to use these days, those are legislative days, we have more calendar days, let us try to use every one of those days to Reach Agreement on funding the government. So we dont have another c. R. Which all of us believe is bad fiscal policy and substantive policy. I urge us to come together so that we can avoid another crisis like this. Address the issues that we know need to be addressed. And i thank the speaker for the time. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from california is recognized. Mr. Mccarthy mr. Speaker, i yield one minute to the speaker of the house, paul ryan. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized. The speaker thank you. I ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks and address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. The speaker i thank the gentleman for yielding. My colleagues, i want to say a few words about the last couple of days. I know theres great relief that this episode is coming to an end. This shutdown did not need to happen. However brief, it inflicted needless costs on the country. There are no winners here today. I want to make that clear. No winners except perhaps the millions of families who depend on the Childrens HealthInsurance Program. Soon the longest reauthorization in the programs history is about to become law. But this is not a moment to pat ourselves on the back. Not even close. We very much need to heed the lessons what have just happened here. We need to move forward in good faith. Yes. On daca and immigration. Yes, on funding our military so that it gets the resources that our military so badly needs. Lets address these urgent challenges. Finally, i think all of us want to join in thanking the men and women who served in our farmed armed forces and serve in our government, around the ountry and around the globe. You see, they and their families are the ones who kind of get caught up in things like. This for them, these arent political debates. Their livelihoods, the countrys safety and security depend on responsible governing. That is why i sincerely hope that we never find ourselves in this position again. And i thank all of our members for their patience this week. I yield. The speaker pro tempore all time for debate has expired.
