>> we reserve as well. >> the gentleman from kentucky. >> i yield two minutes to the chairman of the state subcommittee on appropriations, the general and from virginia, mr. wolf. >> i want to thank chairman rogers for working on this bill, it is very important. i rise in strong support for providing continuing appropriations for the fiscal year 2014 through december 15. this bill is needed to keep vital government services and programs operating past the end of the current fiscal year on december 30. at the gentleman from kentucky has stated, they appropriations committee has had significant progress on the annual appropriations bills. however, additional time is needed to have completion on the

2014 appropriation work. this continues with the discretionary program under sequestration including programs with the subcommittee such as operation of the federal prison system, which you cannot shut down. the fbi team that is working with regards to benghazi, says that all that who are working counterterrorism, we have seen storms hit this nation. to shut that down, our nation is in serious financial trouble, and it is well past the time we put everything, everything on the table including entitlements and agreed to a long-term bath solution which includes an end to sequestration.

hopefully the 76 days provided in the resolution from the chairman would provide enough time for an overall agreement to be reached, and allow for regular proration bills or fiscal year 2014. i urge my fellow members of congress to support this c.r. we need to fulfill our basic constitutional duty. i yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentle woman from new york is recognized. >> we reserve. >> the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. >> i yield two minutes to the chairman of the agriculture subcommittee. >> thank you madam speaker, and you chairman rogers for giving

me the opportunity to speak. i think it is very obvious by the comments that the republicans have made on our side this morning that we do need to keep the government open at its current sequester funding level and provide the vital services that our constituents have grown to expect from the government, and make sure that we do not have a government shutdown. as chairman rogers mentioned, i chair the appropriations subcommittee on agriculture. some may ask, why is it so important that we keep the government open? can we not just go with another year-long c.r.? i would like to provide some reason why the f.y 2014 is better for the taxpayer.

in the ag appropriations bill we direct the states to be in full compliance with wic and snap eligibility standards, and we increase oversight for vendors to rein in the cost. we require the usda to report on strategies that are being able but it to help weed out fraud, waste, and abuse in the snap program. one thing that i hear a lot about is about the school year regulations for meals for the students. we require the commodity you and future trade committee to develop cost benefit analysis on several dodd frank for visions that are very costly. we encouraged the usda to finalize inspection roles in

poultry operations, to the reduce federal cost. those that produce a lot of poultry, that is very important. in closing, i fully support this bill, and ask for my colleagues to do the same. >> the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i yield two minutes to this distinguished gentleman from california. >> the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. >> i thank you and ranking member lowe. i rise in opposition to this radical right wing efforts to walk our economy off a cliff. i urge my colleagues on the

other side to wake up from this radical west dream and come back to reality. it is time for us to go to the negotiating table, and talk about what we can do to avoid a government shutdown. today count our covered away from millions of people i blocking funding for obamacare, this is the 42nd attempt to do so, and there is no chance of it happening. make sure that we have paid china first, it should the right-wing demand that we defund obamacare, it would be the first time we default on our debts. i can only hope that the republican leadership will eventually listen to the pleas from the americans in mind district and the whole country but to pursue despite partisan efforts. i yield back the balance of my time.

>> the gentlewoman from new york reserves. >> i yield one minute to the gentleman from louisiana. >> thank you. i rise in support to fund the government while defunding the healthcare law, and make sure the government has the money to pay its debts. this is not a republican idea, talk to the union members. the president himself has said he wants to delay components of the law for those who have access to the white house. this is killing jobs in america, and causing people to lose the healthcare they have today. our families are facing over 50% increase in their health-care

premiums because of this law that is devastating our economy. the president has a minute knowledge it is he has signed several bills to defund different components of the law. >> the gentleman from kentucky reserves, the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i yield two minutes to the gentleman from oregon. >> i appreciate the hard work of the appropriations committee, that have been placed in an impossible situation. we still have pending the tea house bill. if people were serious about cutting government spending, and enforcing the republican budget,

we will be having a proration bills on the floor, and we would be dealing with it. we are not because the appropriations committee was given an impossible challenge. they were given funding levels that the house, the house will never approve. that republicans in the house will never approve. and we're sitting here with obamacare as sort of a sideline. it is going forward, everyone in this chamber knows that the president has signed it, and that train has left the station. what we need to do is talk about real things. the appropriations committee, if they were giving real spending limits, and regular order, these are published, distinguish

people who care about the integrity of government. they could work it out. the quickest way to do it would be if the republican leadership would allow a conference committee on the budget. this is what is handcuffing the upper bridges committee is that they are operating under unrealistic ideological doctrines that won't pass the house. if the republican leadership would appoint conferees, we can work with the senate to pass the budget, and work out something that is agreeable. then we will not have this old aaron, would not have the hard work of the appropriations committee and their staff off into the netherlands. and we can get down to cases. it does not have to be this hard, let regular order work, stop the sideshow. >> the gentleman's time has expired.

for what purpose does the german from kentucky state recognition? >> i give two minutes to the gentleman from kentucky. >> i rise to engage in colloquily. >> you've been very receptive and i appreciate your efforts. right now colorado we are experiencing major floods in 15 counties crossing over 2000 square miles. certain areas have received over 20 inches of rain, 19,000 pounds of been damaged or destroyed, and because of the vast devastation, we will be unable to provide an accurate damage assessment for at least 30 days. costs could exceed the $100

million cap which would explain the state income disaster relief act. this necessitates a response from the federal government. i asked the chairman to consider working with me and other members of the colorado delegation to help the state recover from this tragedy. >> first, i want to thank the gentle men from colorado for all of his efforts to help colorado through all of this turmoil and terrible disaster. and to recover from the flooding especially. i am aware of the dire need to help colorado and revived access to emergency resources, including access to emergency transportation dollars. i look forward to working with

the gentleman to advance this funding manner as quickly as possible, and i know i speak for all of the staff when we say to the people of colorado that our hearts are with you and our prayers are with you. >> the gentleman from kentucky reserves, the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i am pleased to yield three minutes to the gentlewoman from connecticut. >> i rise in strong opposition to this cynical and misconceived funding bill, designed to push us into a government shutdown. yesterday we saw this majority on a partyline vote rob food from the mouths of over 4 million americans including

children, seniors, and veterans. this would only further punish american families, and send our majority rates to the bottom. the majorities leadership has been quite explicit about their intentions. they want to lock in the cuts that we have seen to the education programs and help our grants. they want to make those cuts permanent. that is their opening position, and they have also been quite upfront about the only way they would mitigate against these cuts is in exchange for cuts to social security, medicare, and to medicaid. and even though these deep cuts are reducing harmful results all over the country, the majority wants to use that as leverage for further negotiation. it is about ideology, and it is just a game to them.

people's lives don't seem to matter. let me just remind you of what is happening all over america because of the across-the-board cuts. children are learning using access to early learning start programs. they would lose access to that support that they need to buy destruction that they need. overburdened state local education agencies are required to pick up a higher share of the cost for these 6 million students with special needs. putting their parents jobs and families economic security even more at risk. hundreds of thousands of unemployed adult veterans, seniors, and others are losing access to job training programs. the iowa bio-medical research

that is being curtailed around the country has allowed me to stand here today, but they would cut it off. it would be delayed or lost, and the list goes on. we compromise our economy and the health, the well-being of america's families, and i stayed here in opposition. instead of working to pass a compromise budget and a responsible manner, they have used this process to try yet again to derail the affordable care act, and deny americans affordable care for the 42nd time. most americans -- members of congress have health insurance. people in this nation cannot

afford health insurance, but they would cut it off. they would make it impossible for people to get a mention of to keep their kids up to age 26 on their own health insurance coverage, and say to the insurance companies, go for it again, you can deny people health coverage and talk about pre-existing conditions. people all over america are struggling, and this budget resolution is designed to make it harder. we are talking about people's lives, we have a more was bonds ability. we are here to represent the many people, not our own agenda or our own ideology. we have to do better, so we must vote against this bill. i yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentleman from kentucky

is recognized. >> how much time remains? >> the gentlewoman from new york has a 11 minutes and the gentleman from kentucky has six minutes. >> madam speaker i am very pleased to recognize the distinguished gentleman from georgia. >> madam speaker, this is unbelievable. i cannot believe we are here again, with so much to be done, so much good we could do. the republicans want to deny americans the chance to see a doctor. how may times are we going to do this?

medicare, medicaid, social security, as is my right, -- we have spoken, the supreme court has ruled, the affordable care act is the law of the land. it is constitutional. it is compassionate. it is what is right. it is what is necessary. so much progress has been made a young people can be insured under their parents. more people can have coverage to see doctors when they need to. coverage that covers. we must fulfill our constitutional was bonds abilities to fund the federal government. we must keep the promise of health care to the american people. we will not go backward.

we have come too far, and we cannot turn back. healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy. every citizen of the united states should be able to see a doctor when they need to. this is a resolution that was stopped at it is not the rack away, it is not the america that we believed in. we should care for each other, we should look out for one another. we are one family, one house, the american house, and we should but that roof down on our heads. we should not hold it down to win political points. vote no on this, about for what is right, fair, and just. >> the gentleman from kentucky reserves, the gentlewoman from new york is recognized.

>> i am pleased to yield one minute to the gentlewoman from california. >> thank you very much madam speaker. i come to the floor as a mother but as a grandmother, concerned about america's children. this place is a mess. let's get our house in order. we are legislators, we have come here to do a job for the american people -- job means that we must make a government run for the good of the people. we are not here to expand the government, nor to deliver made to eliminate it. let's work together to do that.

what i've seen on the floor today is that without a doubt, a measure designed to shut down government. a good have no other intent. its purpose is clear. if our colleagues on the republican side deny that, they have no idea of the gravity of the situation, to quote the music man, "of the trouble that is contained in the resolution today." it is a wolf in wolf's clothing. that bill will cost at least a million jobs over the course of the next year. it will not only do that, it will cut our investments in the future and education, biomedical

research. we have the power to cure, through scientific opportunity we have a moral obligation to lead that with the resources. to respect the talent and god- given intellect, and what do we do, we say no, we cut that. we are doing serious damage to science, to health, and not only do that, to our competitiveness as a nation. it is those investments, and not only that, it is the underlying bill, if that were not reason enough to say no, are you kidding, no, then they cloak it in wilson clothing, and say that

in their view they will be fund the affordable care act. you know what that is about? that is simply about putting their friends back in charge of the decisions for medical care for your family's. it slashes the strongly bipartisan children's health insurance program by 70%. it eliminates an initiative that provides health care to millions of children. that past the united states senate with veto proof majority. it wreaks havoc on a healthcare system by disrupting provider payments for medicare and medicaid. in that you do not know what you're doing or this is one of

the most intentional acts of brutality that you have cooked up. it cuts billions of dollars again, delaying important research, and denying medical breakthroughs for future generations. democrats have a responsible proposal that balances and reduces the deficit. it reduces the deficit and a responsible way, and the devastating across-the-board cuts in the sequester, and makes investments in the future and keeps government open. as opposed to this bill, intended to shut governments down.

i know my colleague mr. hoyer has quoted some republicans about what they have said about don't take it from us, it does not enable us to do the work of government. this is a terrible proposition for our families, community, and country. it is time for us to work together to ensure we do not endanger the economic security and prosperity of the american people. i urge my colleagues to vote no, and yield back the balance of my time. >> the gentlewoman yields back, and the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. >> i yield one minute to the distinguished majority leader of the house. >> i want to thank the gentleman from kentucky, the chairman of the appropriations committee for bringing this bill forward.

i rise today in strong support of this provision. many americans across this country are struggling, they are struggling to pay their bills. their frustration with the government continues to grow. these americans, these hard- working, middle-class americans are counting on their elected representatives to show leadership touring these hard times. this resolution would keep the government funded at its current level without increasing the levels while congress finishes working on a real budget. the americans are tired of seeing us squander their dollars. it would be possible to have two consecutive years of discretionary spending cuts this

resolution would protect the working middle lass of the devastating effects of obamacare. each week we hear stories about how major employers and small businesses are cutting back benefits, and cutting back hours. the president's health care law is turning our full-time economy into a part-time economy. even the heads of the major unions were once so supportive of obama care want to see this law drastically changed to stop further nightmare scenarios and left fund this law now, and protect the american people from the economic calamity that we know obamacare will create. americans back home are fighting for their families, and we in congress were sent to washington by our constituents to fight for them.

they have put faith in their leaders to do what is right. for this entire congress, to restore faith in our economy, and trust in our government, we should pass this continuing resolution so the senate can finally begin to do the same. i would like to thank the gentleman from kentucky for his work on this measure, along with the help of the gentleman from louisiana, for their hard work on the issue, and i urge my colleagues to support this resolution. the gentleman from kentucky reserves, and the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i am very pleased to yield three minutes to the distinguished whip, steny hoyer from maryland. >> thank you gentlelady for yielding.

madam speaker, today we are considering a measure to fund the government only if the democratic senate and democratic president will reveal -- it is a latent act of hostagetaking. the republican c.r. lays the groundwork for a default on our debt, and unthinkable act. it embraces the dangerous and irrational policy of sequestration. this syllabi at the dissent of an economy sliding, spalding the recovery are american people need.

this destructive obsession with the repeal of the affordable care act, and the unrestrained hostility toward the government, has undermined the republicans hollow claims. the majority does though notwithstanding their chairman's accurate description of their policy on sequester, and i quote him as "unrealistic, and illconcieved." a policy which chairman rogers himself said, "must be brought to an end." chairman rogers votes today in the hopes that his colleagues will come and i urge you to do just the opposite. they will continue a policy that will lead america into decline.

i will not be party to the investment and the decline of america's greatness. the strength, readiness, and training of our armed forces, quality and viability of our infrastructure, the proper compensation and respect for those who labor and the or, and most certainly, the honoring of america's debts and obligations. today's a bill undermines all of those priorities and more. i will not support it. i urge my colleagues to oppose it. it continues us on the path so aptly described by chairman rogers as, "this lurching path

from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis." i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill. i am for a comprehensive balance, and responsible policy that will put this nation on a fiscally sustainable, pay stable path. i am and will be willing to work with colleagues who would support such a bill. americans are hoping and training that we will have such wisdom and such courage. i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and commit themselves to adopting a bipartisan an effective alternative to this

distractive and irrational path. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> i yield one minute to the gentleman from california. >> i thank the gentleman for yielding. the minority whip is dead wrong. this measure protects the full faith and credit of the united states i making sure our credit will be paid in full and on time. it is imperative that our creditors know that whatever battles rage in congress, their debts are absolutely secure. our ability to pay all of our bills depend on our credit, and this guarantees it. i am getting frantic and heart breaking calls from folks who are having their work hours cut out or back because of

obamacare, and this stops that train wreck. we have abandoned our responsibility to only use this as a stopgap measures, and this bill does that. >> the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i am pleased to yield one minute to the gentleman from virginia. >> thank you. this vote is about more than these to throw away revisions that we know are not going to be taken seriously by the senate and the country. i will oppose it for another reason, because i used to be very proud of this institution. i used to be able to go through my community and many who had

served as long as i have new what it was like to be proud of congress and that we had improved the lives of our constituents. we can walk through our state proud of what we had achieved. we know what the government can do. this does not allow us to do what we can. we need to raise this government again. we need to do what congress was meant to do. we need to fund the government adequately to be a first-class society, and work with a first- class economy. we cannot do that on the cheap, and that is why we have to vote against this. >> the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. >> i yield one minute to the hard-working member of our

appropriations committee, the gentleman from mississippi. >> i want to thank the chairman for yielding and for his leadership. people sent me to congress to preserve liberty for future generations i limiting government and growing the economy. there is not a single law worse for individual liberty than obamacare. we must get rid of obamacare and replace it with a system that provides choice, lower cost," patients in charge of their health care decisions. we are standing up for our principles, our constituents, and for americans. we will pass this bill today out of the house, and i urge my conservative colleagues in the senate to pick up this fight and stand with us to make sure we defund obamacare.

>> the gentleman from kentucky reserves, the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. >> i am pleased to yield one minute to the woman from district of columbia. >> all of us are trying to keep the government open it, but the federal government and the moment is engaged in contingency plans in case of a shut down. this local budget, this balance, this $8 billion in local funds, has not read the d.c. budget. this is what it cost is in 2011 to prepare for a shutdown. when newt gingrich was the speaker of the house, he agreed with me to keep the district of

columbia open even as the federal government shut down, because one thing is clear about the only thing worse than shutting down the united states government is closing down an innocent bystander without a dime in their name. don't close down the nation's capital. >> the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. >> may i inquire to the time remaining? >> i yield one minute to the gentleman from nebraska. >> the evidence is very clear, obamacare is actually hurting people. i have heard from several constituents who said they

received their notice that they no longer have their healthcare policy, and that their policy in the new exchange would have higher deductibles and co-pays. they are not sure what plan they can go on, and what the benefit will be. kathleen is on a fixed income, and she has a polity with covered she does not want or need. i have heard many stories like this, of how obamacare is truly hurting people and squeezing them. i want the senate to join us in acting on eliminating the funding for obamacare. let's help folks get the healthcare they need.

>> how much time do i have? >> the gentlewoman from new york has 2.5 minutes remaining. >> madam speaker, the american people are counting on us to do our jobs. to work together to create jobs. to keep the government open, and to keep the economy running. this is not the time, or the bills for working on health reform, or hampering the administration's ability to protect them faith and credit of the united states of america. with great suffering in the wake of another natural disaster in

colorado, and all of those families who have lost lives, loved ones, and property, this is not the time, my friends to limit the ability of the united states of america to give to the least of those. republicans refused to work together with the senate and the white house to bring legislation to the floor today. instead, we consider a bill that we know is destined for failure in the senate and will be be taught by the white house. the majority has failed to lead. they refuse to appoint mentors -- members to work with the senate. they cannot even pass their own spending bills in this chamber.

we remember how the very important transportation bill had to be pulled off the floor because they could not find the votes. functions vital to the american people and the economy, even when their own appropriations chairman, my friend mr. rogers says we should end the sequester, find a balance plan forward, they are still playing little games. i urge my colleagues to oppose this bill, support the responsible replacement of the sequester with a balanced plan to create jobs and keep our economy moving. i know we can do it. i would be pleased to be part of that partnerships with the chair mr. rogers.

>> the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for two remaining minutes. >> we are doing a c.r., even though the appropriations committee on the house side past 11 of the 12 bills through the committee. the remaining one is waiting for time, as we have run out of time. that is what this continuing resolution will continue the government past september 30. we were unable to pass the appropriations bills singly on the floor, because of lack of

floor time, but also because the house and the senate never agreed to an overall number which we could mark. consequently, we were not able to bring those bills out because of that limitation. with this c.r., until december 15, until we are given a number, with the senate, we will do so. this is a hard-working committee. we are pragmatists, we know we have to pass bills to fund the government. if we were intending to close down the government, we would not be here with this bill, we would just sit there. this is an effort by the

majority party in the house to continue the government and avoid a shutdown while he work out these differences on the other bills for fiscal year 2014. this continuing resolution is straightforward, it is clean, it is short term, it continues reductions of federal discretionary spending. we have actually cut discretionary spending the past two years by $120 billion. we are trying to be as possible, this will is responsible, and i urge --

>> good morning and thank you for joining us following this important vote. the house acted. tokeep the government open, control spending and to protect people from an unworkable law that is make it harder on them. my colleagues have all voted in favor of this law because it will help moms and dads and families and young people and seniors all across this country. and that is who this is all about. when i was home in august like so many of my colleagues i heard the stories from individuals and families who are concerned, who are panicked over the implementation of this law in the impact it is having on their lives. house has acted,

and today, we urge the senate to take actions. allies on the outside and the american people thissh the senate to have important debate on the floor of the senate, because if we're going to take action on behalf of the american people, we need the senate to have this debate on the floor of the senate. >> when we started this health care debate, the president lead with a very big promise to the if you likeople -- d the health care you have, you can keep it. today, the headline reads -- 20,000 americans working at home depot will no longer the the case. they are part-time. obamacare does not allow that. that is why today when we acted

it was not just a group of republicans but it was a bipartisan vote. let me state that again because i want to make sure you write it correctly. it was a bipartisan vote because we are americans first. a privileged to sit in this office, and i will tell you this -- as the founders crafted this country, they crafted two bodies to work. the house has not done their work. we call on the senate to do theirs as well. the house has been fighting to stop obamacare since 2009. and we have said over and over again this law is going to increase the cost for the working middle class families of this country and we are now seeing it. we have said from the beginning that this law will harm our

economy and we are seeing our economy turned from a full-time job economy into a part-time job economy. that is why we are doing our job and now it is up to senate democrats to show some responsibility and follow the h ouse's lead. you know, many senate republicans have promised to leave no stone unturned fighting this bill. and all of us here support that effort. we're calling on senate democrats to do the same thing. and i want to know where senator on protecting the middle class from the consequences from this terrific bill. bill.s horrific that provides care for seniors i knows they are

cutting staff hours to 28 hours per week. how about kay hagen in north carolina? did she understand the consequences obamacare is having in her state? >> no. a grocery store, the president has said it is not feasible or sustainable to extend coverage for all of the 1100 employees he has. he, too, may have to cut hours for much of his workforce. what about mary landrieu of louisiana? obamacare is also hurting her hard-working taxpayers in that state. july, in owner of a diner told the senator that he may have to lay off as many as 16 workers. working, are middle-class americans trying to make ends meet. finally, what about mark of alaska? through obamacare americans

across the country could be hit with a rate shock. in alaska, premiums could rise between 30% and 80%. what is the senator going to do about this? will he vote to keep obamacare in place? we want the senate to join us. >> while we had a victory today for the american people. and we had a victory for common sense. >> yeah. >> amen. bachus said it right several months of what ago when he said this law is a train wreck. and the president said if we pass this law, health care costs will go down. now we find out health care

costs are going up for most americans. the president said if you like the health insurance policy have, you can keep it. we found out that is not accurate, either. in the coming months, millions of americans will find out it is not quite true. ourthis is hurting constituents and hurting the american people at a time when the economy is rarely eking increasing, are not new jobs are not available, and what are we doing -- we're putting more costs and the american people. it's time for us to say no. it is time to stop this before it causes any more damage to american families and american businesses. countryes up cross the are not hiring because of the impact of this law. other businesses that are reducing hours for their employees because of this law. message to the united states senate is simple -- the american people do not want the government shutdown, and they do

not want obamacare. house has listened to the american people. now it is time for the senate to listen to them as well. [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2013] [captioning performed by national captioning institute]

>> during his remarks about the auto industry and economy in missouri, the president spoke about the attempt by congress to defund the health care law. here is a look. is a faction on the far

right of the republican party right now. it is not everybody, but it is a pretty big faction, who convince their leadership to threaten the government shutdown and potentially threaten to not r aise the debt ceiling if they can't shut off the affordable care act, also known as obamacare. now, think about this. they are not talking now about spending cuts. they are not talking about entitlement reform. now they are talking about something that has nothing to do with the budget. right? they're actually willing to plunge america into default if we cannot defund diff oral care act. -- the affordable care act. it's been in law for three and a half years. the supreme court ruled it constitutional. it was an issue in last year's

election. the guy running against me said he was going to repeal it. we won. [applause] so, the voters were pretty clear on this. and then republicans in congress 40 to repeal this more than times. every time they failed. place isthat is in already providing people benefits. it is not holding back economic growth. it is helping millions of americans, including some of you or your family members that you may not be aware of. >> today on c-span, your calls, tweets and e-mails live on "washington journal." followed by the state department on the benghazi attack.
