newcomers like david always use the matriarch elephant, nita, as a shield when they are near her. for two years he keeps his distance from cindy. but on that day in january, he notices she's a little too close for comfort. >> cindy was next to the gate. i needed to get her moved. and in the process of moving cindy, i opened the gate and should have closed the gate behind me. >> but david doesn't close the gate. a mistake that will almost cost him his life. just moments later he senses he's in trouble. >> i just had a feeling that she was going to come after me. so i yelled for help. hey bob! and right when i yelled, "hey, bob," she ran after me, like she knew the terror in my voice. >> with 10,000 pounds of angry elephant heading straight for him, david lunges for the quickest escape route. >> the fastest way was diving under the belly of another elephant, so i can have a buffer between me and her. i did that, she hit the side of that elephant and i was able to go through the fence. >> at this moment, david makes a fateful decision. he turns back to close the gate. >> it was reall

was -- we were in frequent contact with our house counterparts, congressman rogers and congresswoman nita, who graciously made themselves available just to get their view on their lay of the land. so we'll do it again. but what we would like -- you know, every senator has a right to offer amendments. every senator has a right to have his or her day. but i would hope they wouldn't do it all on this amendment or all on this bill. this is the continuing funding resolution. we've worked with such diligence and such a sense of cooperation and bipartisanship. our goal is to get the federal government funded through the fiscal year october 1 to avoid a government shutdown. this is not a barbara mikulski threat. we have a due date on march 27 when it expires. the congress leaves for its easter passover break next friday, the 22nd. so i would really say to my colleagues, now that we have the amendments, we will do our due diligence. the senators will know our analysis and their own respective staffs' analysis. so on monday once again, on the floor, will be shelby-mikulski, mikulski-shelby, we will

and of course, nita lowey. of those four, three are brand-new to these jobs. so we've met together, and we've determined that we want to get back to regular order, all four of us, and to do things the right way. that's why i'd like to see us get this bill over with, so fiscal '13 is behind us, and we can begin to focus as we are already on fiscal '14. we're starting the hearings on fiscal '14 already. getting ready for the '14 bills. so the sooner we get this business over with, the better -- >> i just -- to pick up a phrase of my good friend mr. mcgovern used, mr. chairman, you do only get to play the cards dealt to you. and i don't think any of us think you were dealt an easy hand to play. i think in this bill where you've taken care of our most pressing national security concerns, where you folded in work that the two bodies have agreed upon, in a bipartisan fashion, and where you've left open the possibility for the senate to do the same, and hopefully the time for them to do the same, we can take a step back toward the process that i know we all would lik

that's a tribute to the work of people like nita lowey, the new ranking member on the full committee, the work of senator richard shelby, ranking republican on the senate side. of course the new chairman of the committee over there, senator barbara mikulski. all of us work together and we were determined to produce a product that would be good for the nation, number one, but as it turns out i think it's good for this body and the senate. we proved when we set our mind to it we can get complicated, hard things done. and that's what this bill does. so, mr. speaker, i urge an aye vote on 933. yield back. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate has expired. pursuant to the order of the house on wednesday, march 20, 2013, the previous question is ordered. the question is on the motion by the gentleman from kentucky, mr. rogers. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is agreed to. mrs. lowey: mr. speaker, i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. those favoring a vote by the yeas and nays will rise.
