Mr. Speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Much, le thank you very mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, were here at the beginning of whats likely to be eventful week. Were considering two items today as part of this rule, both of which are bipartisan fullyear appropriations bills. Odays bipartisan appropriations packages are the culmination of many months of ind work by both parties and both chambers. Though this was a long road, im that the negotiations were ultimately successful. I often said funding the government and keeping it open is one of the most fundamental duties as members of congress we have. Together both packages cover fullyear funding for all 12 appropriations bills. This is significant. By advancing fullyear appropriations, that means we are not relying on another shortterm continuing resolution. While funding with the c. R. Is certainly better than shutting down the government, doing so also abdicates congress ability to adjust spending and policies to reflect the countrys changing needs and priorities. Its important to remember that at the end of july of this year, Congress Passed and President Trump signed into law the bipartisan budget act of 2019, which set budgetary levels for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. This bipartisan and bicameral compromise was the result of a good faith negotiation between the president and the congressional leadership, speaker pelosi, majority leader mcconnell in the senate, minority leader Kevin Mccarthy in the house, and minority leader senator schumer in the enate. That compromise achieved many wins for the American People. Including a significant and desperately needed increase to support and rebuild our national defense. Through the budget though the budget agreement was enacted, the authorized spending could not be realized without full year appropriations. Fortunately, thats exactly what we have here today. Want to highlight a few key provision, mr. Speaker. The bill fulfills the top line spending numbers congress agreed to in the budget deal earlier this year. H. R. 1158 provides an increase 19. 5 billion for our Armed Services over fiscal year 2019. Which will allow us to continue rebuilding americas military. The additional funds will enable us to remedy our readiness crisis, allow our Service Members to secure the valuable training time they need, and give those same brave Service Members the largest pay raise they have had in a decade. On the domestic side, the appropriations package boosts the funding for the National Institutes of health by 2. 6 billion. This is the fifth Straight Year of sustained increases for the n. I. H. The increased funding places the United States as the unquestioned Global Leader in biomedical research, which will lead to continued efforts to cure diseases like alzheimers and cancer. The bill also includes a significant increase for the centers for Disease Control and prevention, americas frontline defense against pandemics, hivaids, ebola, and other deadly diseases. The bill includes substantial increases for various federally funded Education Programs like idea, title 1, impact aid, and Early Childhood education. Theres also a significant increase in funding for head start. Close to my own heart are trio and gear up, two programs that help disadvantaged students and lowincome students or First Generation College students to succeed. These programs will receive a 35 million increase over fiscal year 2019, ensuring that still more students are able to achieve academic excellence. We are also increasing spending for career and Technical Education by an additional 20 million. Perhaps most critically for rural areas, we are providing a robust increase for medical Student Education Program to ensure we are training more primary Health Care Providers who want to work in rural areas. The bill also includes critical tax extender provisions that have either lapsed or due to be reauthorized at the end of the year. This important end of the year package ensures that these important provisions will be maintained in law. Provisions like the indian lands tax credit and indian employment tax credit which are both of critical importance in my district. Typical tax credits provided to individuals who have been affected by disasters will also be extended under this legislation. Im also pleased that three additional provisions of obamacare are permanently field in these appropriations bills. The socalled cadillac tax, medical device tax, and the Health Insurance tax. These provisions served two insidious purposes, driving up the cost of health care and forcing people to give up Good Health Care plans that they enjoyed. Im thankful my friends in the majority finally recognized this and included these overwhelmingly Bipartisan Solutions in the legislation before us today. Finally, the bill maintains important prolife protection that is have been in previous appropriations bills. The socalled hyde and weldon amendment remain intact. Maintaining these protections are important to securing bipartisan support for these bills. Though there are there is a lot to like in these bills, mr. Speaker, there are also some things i would change if it were solely up to me. I dont think any one of us here, republican or democrat, would view either of these bills to be perfect. But what we have achieved here is a bipartisan compromise. I think all of us in this chamber can be proud of the work we have accomplished here. Especially in times of divided government and ever more polarized political environment. Finding compromises across bipartisan lines and between chambers of congress and the administration is no small fete feat. That we have done so here today is a testament to the house of representatives and reminder that the things that unite us are more powerful than those that divide it. With that, mr. Speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from oklahoma reserves his time. The gentleman from new york is recognized. Mr. Morelle thank you, mr. Speaker. There is a saying in albany when things go on for a while that everythings been said but not by everybody. Apparently maybe everything has been said and apparently everybody doesnt feel the need to weigh in. Im prepared to close if my friend, the gentleman. Mr. Cole i do have a speaker. You want to yield. Mr. Morelle ill reserve my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from new york reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. Mr. Cole thank you very much, mr. Speaker. I yield two minutes to my friend from texas, mr. Roy. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from texas is recognized for two minutes. Mr. Roy thank you, mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman from oklahoma and gentleman from new york for yielding time. I respect the amount of work they have put into this legislation. I rise without surprise to anyone in this room at opposition to the legislation. I keep hearing that this phrase, this bill provides. I keep hearing my colleagues saying this. But this bill doesnt provide anything. The American People provide. This bill borrows. And it borrows at a time when we cant afford to borrow more. Our nation is 23 trillion in debt, now racking up more than 100 million of debt per hour. We havent figured it out yet but it appears this bill spends 50 billion more than 2019 spending levels. Dont worry everybody will go back home and campaign on a balanced Budget Amendment which has no clear passage. This bill is filled with massive policy changes we should debate and vote on individually. It has a bailout for big insurance tax relief. It embraces the very partial obamacare repeal. Yet now embrace. The bill changes tobacco age nationwide. Turning federalism on its head with nary a whimper from republicans who like to talk about the 10th amendment and speeches back home of the bill extends the giveaway to people like boeing for seven years. It funds bureaucrats who wish to target your Second Amendment rights. Abortion through obamacare plans. The biggest problem is, we havent read the bill. Days like today everyone declares bipartisanship. In this sprergs of bipartisan in this version of bipartisan, it is the smell of jet fumes and everyones desire to get home. Fueling the worst kind of bipartisanship, the kind that says keep spending money we dont have and leave it to our kids and grandkids to clean up. Its massive unreadable, 2,313page bill filled with government expanded goodies and speding and dropped on us yesterday afternoon at 4 30 p. M. My staff got their fi
