governing from c.r. to c.r. ust creates more unpredict ict, more instability -- unpredictability, more instability for everyone. mr. speaker, the challenges we face around the world cannot be t under this stop and go process. while we delay doing the nation's business, our military and economic competitors are consolidating their gains. finally, i would add, this legislation includes necessary funding extensions for bipartisan health priorities, like community health centers and other public health programs. it also funds important medicare extenders and includes commonsense reforms and improvement in the program. but let no one doubt our position on continuing resolutions. they are bad fiscal policy. they do not allow programs to grow, to be reduced or eliminated, if that's needed. they maintain outdated policies and stop new critically important programs from ever starting, including programs that enhance national security and protect our armed forces from our enemies. continuing resolutions are fiscally waste

here we are with another c.r., c.r., c.r., omnibus. that's why something we put in here that i feel passionate about is having a budget process reform dialogue. we had a one-sided dialogue in the house with republicans. we need to get the senate involved in a conversation so we can actually have an budget and appropriations process that works. the house passed all of its appropriation bills this year before the deadline in september. we are doing our work here but the senate has a different system. and as much as we are frustrated by that system, it isn't working and we have a joint select committee between republicans and democrats and senators and house members to figure out how to fix this budget process so it works much more smoothly in the future. reporter: the tax cuts are starting to kick in now and this bill will put the deficit over a trillion dollars this year and probably next year. these are supposed to be good times. are the times going to be that good to close that deficit? the speaker: by the way, economic growth is one

c.r. uld prefer to pass after c.r. after c.r. how long will republicans govern from crisis to crisis. no one can budget like the republicans are governing. this ignores urgent bipartisan priorities. the democrats have been fighting for it for months. the most urgent is passing a clean dream act. dackave recipients are american in every way except on paper. we have less than one month until daca expires, a deadline that the president himself created. this continuing resolution is morally bankrupt and fails to honor the protective status for immigrants and fails to raise the budget caps. this continuing resolution fails to honor the trare protective status for immigrants and fails to raise the caps and neglects to provide funding for hurricane and wildfire-impacted communities and our veterans. this bill underscores the majority's complete lack of regard for struggling americans and families. these leave the american people out on a limb with no confidence in their federal government. this resolution makes it clear that is just wha

and the c.r. vote. we'll keep you posted on any news out of that and possibly get comments from members as they enter or leave that event. we're waiting to take you live to the white house here on c-span. coming up at 3:15 eastern. meanwhile back to late this morning in the briefing from house republican leaders including house speaker, paul yan. the speaker: the government has no higher responsibility than to support our men and women in harm's way. for months now we have been working to get our military the resource it is needs to keep the peace. this budget agreement delivers on that commitment. it fully funds our national defense at levels that secretary mattis has requested. it provides what the message message needs to restore our -- pentagon needs to restore our military edge. as secretary mattis said yesterday, i quote, congressional action will ensure our military can defend our way of life. that mission is hard enough, especially in a time of rapidly evolving threats, but our military's job ha

c.r. is whether we keep the lights on or not. whether you can figure out your taxes and call the i.r.s. it's whether or not we function. it's going to be our fifth c.r. shame on all of us. and i do mean all of us. however, people on the other side of the aisle talk about all their legislative ageneral cathay want put in a package and pass or they're going to vote against keeping the lights on. think about that. if we don't get daca, we're shutting the lights off. if we don't get this, we're shutting the lights off. that's what happened in the senate the last shutdown. if we don't get full year funding for the military, we're shutting the lights off. funding if chirp or we're shutting the lights off. didn't work out very well, did it? our fundamental responsibility is to keep the lights on. there's nothing in this bill that's objectionable. they've all passed. this bill supports full-year funding for the department of appropriations. this isn't the first time we passed an appropriations bill for the department of defense, we passe

but they have not moved forward to the c.r. just yet. they'll finish their work on it. it comes back to house rules. then the house floor. all of this in a now nearly six-hour time frame if they're going to avoid a potential government shutdown at midnight tonight. we'll keep you posted on schedules, the house obviously live here on c-span, when they gavel back. in and the senate is live over on c-span2. next up, though, a bit more about the budget deal announced yesterday by senator schumer and mcconnell. "washington journal" continues. host:

>> i'm not interested in voting for c.r.convinced it will get to a long-term budget agreement for the balance of the fiscal year to stabilize this and put the kind of priorities -- fund the priorities for defense and nondefense spending but make sure we stop wasting money in other areas. >> how much does the solving immigration and daca factor in for you in government funding, should it be tied together? >> think people on our side and others, they look at the dreamers and say the morally right thing to do here, these were kids that came over here and they were young and their parents brought them here and grew up here and work here and we have a moral responsibility to them. that is true. having said that, there is an economic imperative here as well. today when folks went to work in this country, there is still 2 or 3 million jobs unfilled. nobody is there to do the job. they don't have the education or the work still. they can't pass a drug test. and one of the reasons why i think the stock market is gyrating is because w

ah the architects at our c.r. were beside themselves with joy when they found out they had won the pritzker prize . and the messages of congratulations have not stopped coming. in which they knew of it when we got a telegram from the spanish royal family one of our former lecturers sent us a gift and people on the street keep talking to us like the people who know us as we look like strangers to us how we not just to say congratulations really here is good but if your most perfect dream is come true or dream that we never even dreamt of dreaming most of them. are c.r. stands for raphael or karma and ramon. the three have their office in a former foundry building in the small catalonian town of they work a lot in the region they designed this library in barcelona a modern steel and glass structure that merges well with the surroundings. and a sports facility and surrounded by trees. they fill the void in the town to the point creating a space for locals it's with projects like these that they've made a name for the

fifth c.r., a fifth c.r., while one party controls all levers of government, shows the republicans' inability to govern. even more upsetting is their refusal to put a bipartisan .reamer bill on the house floor while there are provisions in the senate amendment democrats support, we implore our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to do what is right and permit a vote on a bipartisan dreamer bill. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. mr. frelinghuysen: i yield a minute to the speaker of the house, mr. ryan. the speaker pro tempore: speaker f the house is recognized. the speaker: thank you, mr. peaker, i will be brief. a few hours ago, the senate passed this agreement with a very big bipartisan vote. 75% of senate democrats, 68% of senate republicans and came together on a true compromised measure. and it accomplisheses what we have been fighting for. this agreement accomplisheses getting the resources we need to rebuild our military and this includes disaster funding for the hurricanes and wildfires and fighting opioidses and extension

>> we've been both talking about the c.r.st of all, the reason we're having these c.r.s in the first place is because the democrats have been holding the cap agreement hostage for an unrelated issue. so if we would've had our cap agreement in place by now we would not be having to do these c.r.s. having said all of that i think we're making progress on a cap agreement and even if we get everything figured out by tuesday, we still have to have a c.r. if only for the fact that we have to get the appropriators time to write another appropriations bill. there will have to be a c.r. just to give the committee a time to write an proemgss bill. we're still negotiating the contents and duration of that. >> i might just add, i don't think we'll see a threaten in government shutdown again over this subject. one of my favorite old kentucky country saying there's no education in the second kick of a mule so i think there will be a new level of seriousness here in trying to resolve these issues. the speaker outlined as we go forward. >> i

ken there are programs that need to be funded, they can't do that if they go from c.r. to c.r. tom: okay, i changed my mind. joe: i'm worried we'll get countdown clocks. we were told by feinstein? california that people would die because of the government shutdown. i checked and the number is zero. kennedy: you have people like dianne feinstein and nancy pelosi using word like armageddon to describe a government shutdown and the tax bill. hyperbole. joe: the boy who cried wolf, and no one is listening because these things tend to not come true. i would be surprised if we have another shutdown. john stossel made a great point. a shutdown is good in that you see how unnecessary most of government is. kat: i didn't notice the last time it shut down. i miss the good old days when the reason there would be a shutdown it would be spending issue. now the on spending issue is we are not spending enough on the military when i say we are spending way too much on the military. way more combination of the countries in number tboon number three. there is no fiscally conservative party anymo

country, that sacrifice for our nation have not had the certainty because we've been operating under c.r.'s. the generals will tell you that's one of the most dangerous things. the biggest threats to our military is not having the certainty that they're going to have the tools they need so we can not only have the ability to go out and confront the enemies all around the world, but that our men and women in uniform can have the safety in understanding and knowing we are giving them the best equipment that's available. it's about time we do it. it's about time the senate actually takes this up and hopefully in the next day or two the senate will take action after the house does this. one of the other issues included, we had some funding for community health centers, something very important for people all around the country and also included in this bill is something i worked very closely with our conference chair, cathy mcmorris rodgers, on and that's to make permanent the steve gleason act. this is something congress came together in a bipartisan way to at least have a two-year renewal

jordain: yeah, maybe they should workother c.r. for it to through. cornyn said -- [indiscernible] jordain: >> thank you for joining us. we will continue following the reporting and we hope everything goes good for you on capitol hill. jordain: [indiscernible] >> the senate working for most of the day today, except for a holdup from kentucky senator rand paul. holding of the action on the senate floor in terms of allowing the senate to move forward on a two-year budget deal. and facing just a few hours away another deadline for a government shutdown. the house is in sort of a standby mode waiting for the senate to complete its work and send legislation back over to the house. we will keep you posted throughout the evening as things unfold on capitol hill. possibly be taking your phone calls and questions if we can. in the meantime, we did hear from the white house earlier today. most of the white house briefing has to do with some of the situations at the white house concerning one of the staff members. we will take a look at that. the deputy press se

we have to find some certainty in our budgeting that is lurching from c.r. to c.r. is just not helping the economy, not helping government as well. i share every republican is concerned about the debt and the deficit. but bringing this down closing the government won't solve that. what we think will are savings in mandatory programs. we know from the house we've got $800 billion of medicaid savings just sitting in the senate that would not only wipe out these extra spending but double that. it's ready to go over there. we would love to see some senate action on issues like that. >> all right. mr. chairman, thank you very much. we'll see how it sorts out later today. >> thank you, neil. >> let's go to chris van holland from maryland. senator, is it your sense that this budget accord is falling apart in the senate? >> i do not think it's falling apart, neil. if it comes to a vote, we will have the votes to pass this in the senate. it looks like we'll be delayed in our voting. may have a filibuster that we have to overcome. i think we'll overcome the filibuster and pas

their responsibility to govern and to put a bill that will pass both houses if they want to pass a c.rhich, by the way, is onl py aatchwork that the management leaders and our defense leaders don't want. they wreal solution. this isn't that. so in the meantime, let'sv continue to this discussion. let's continue to focus on daca. while there are many god thingst in this bills still incomplete. >> you're on the house appropriations commit nepdeal that's coming over from the senate, takes off the spending caps for defense and domestic spending for two years. isn't that something that would help things on the appropriations committee? >> well, it would offer certaintiy for the appropriations committee. that's absolutely true. what we don't have are all the categories of spending, and what that deal looks like implementing these b so there's still quite a bit that we don't know about this deal. and while it offers a two-year iy window, there's sta lot that we don't know and a lot that concerns us. and that's why i think it'an icomplete deal because it doesn't address dak and it doesn't addr

reporter: do you think there might be a need for a 24-hour c.r. tonight? rep. pelosi: the bill is not finished yet. when we came in here. as of last night -- i can understand what you're saying. we didn't have texts last night, thewhen i was checking with unwritten down in the final form that would probably just be now. it just depends how long the senate decides to go forward and if the republicans have the votes. reporter: did you hear what you wanted from the speaker? rep. pelosi: there is a lot of other stuff yesterday. very specifically. it is the easiest thing that he could do. it is easy and we did it a number of times before. bring everything to the floor. you want to bring goodlatte to the floor? bring it to the floor. you lucky aguilar bill to the floor, bring it to the floor. the senate has a proposal. get the house of vote on that. anybody else who has something, let everybody vote what they believe. queen of the hill means the bill that gets the most votes is the one that prevails, whether that goes to -- say, for example, the senate bill would go

are c.r. stands for raphael around karma and ramon vologda. the three have their office in a former foundry building in the small catalonian town of they work a lot in the region they designed this library in barcelona a modern steel and glass structure that merges well with the surroundings. and a sports facility an all out surrounded by trees. they fill the void in the town to the point creating a space for locals it's with projects like these that they've made a name for themselves. cynics are going to give us a job we're known for our smaller works full of people we're not architects who work on a huge scale or for a wide audience it's about people for us. since we always ask ourselves what a building wants to be is that if you and how will people end up in the feeling in the space of us here when the student mistress is puffy or. so it was quite a sensation to win the world's most prestigious architecture prize worth some ninety five thousand euros one that in the past has been awarded to star architects known for extremely famous buildin

we should do it that way and everybody sort of quietly says this is the last time i'm voting for a c.r. or for one of these enormous spending bills, and yet we're on our fourth one this year. and even though i have great complaints about how much debt is going to be added with this, i think we also are finding that we're having another one of these in a month. so really, i think that's what's disconcerting to a lot of this, to a lot of us is that we don't go through the process of actually looking for waste in government, going through the committee process, spending the money more wisely. earlier today i went through a series of waste, series of >> i don't think those congresspeople know what they are doing for common people. they lost touch with the american people. my son was recently deployed overseas. they had to send replacements. we have american families , notring from ignorance knowing the status -- helping the status of people in harm's way. things like this affect people in a serious way, not just a minor inconvenience. our congress is in touch with the american people. unde

"washington journal" continues. with this is shai akabas the bipartisan policy center. good morning. a little about the bipartisan policy center and who is behind it? byst: it was founded in 2007 4 former leaders. we are one of the few think tanks that proactively works towards bipartisan policymaking. we're looking for good policies that have a chance of passing on capitol hill. there are a lot of organizations focusing on policy favorable to one side or the other. nonpartisan think tanks that come up with policies that are not partisan in nature. we are trying to fi

we heard from our military leaders how the short-term c.r. is wasting taxpayer dollars and hurting our military readiness. at a time when men and women from this great country are stationed around the world, we need to give them certainty. they need to know that we're doing our job as they do their job in incredibly difficult conditions. so for 131 days, too many americans have been living with uncertainty as a direct result of dysfunction in congress. this agreement is a step in the right direction and i am very pleased to see progress on a budget because 131 days is too long. so let's get this fixed. and over the coming weeks, i will be more than happy to sit down with republicans, democra democrats, independents who are willing to roll you their sleeves and work to give this country, small businesses, working families the predictability through a longer term budget so that they can move forward and be all that they hope to be in the greatest country in the world. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quoru

some of what's going on, saying senator cornyn is confirming that rand paul is holding up the senate c.r. budget deal vote. he wants a vote on his amendment and leadership is recommending he do it as a budget point of order. back to the house for a second. craig kaplan, or capitol hill producer tweeting about nancy pelosi. and a letter, a members letter she has just released. here's what she says. pelosi letter to the house democrats, ahead of the budget deal vote. republicans do not have the votes to pass this caps bill on their own. house democrats have a voice here and we must be heard. these are the reasons that i am voting against this bill. that is from the democratic leader of the house. the ranking member on the budget committee, john yarmuth, craig kaplan tweeting, john yarmuth will vote yes on the budget deal if democrats cannot support this kind of compromise, congress will never function. here's where things stand. the senate as of yet has not taken up the measure just yet. we expect them to do that shortly. you can follow that coverage of course over on c-span2. when they co

later this week, they'll have to take up another temporary funding measure with the qurnt short-term c.r. xpiring this thursday. > joining us on "newsmakers" is tim. bill who covers campaigns for bloomberg news. thank you all for being with us. let me begin with an opening question regarding the economy and mid term elections. will the economy be enough for the republicans to maintain their majority in the house and senate? >> all elections, especially the first one, it's tough. obama lost 63 seats in 2010. clinton lost 54 house seats in 1994. even reagan in 1982 lost 28 seats answered started from a minority position. they're challenging. a good economy which we're starting to see alleviates the dangers but it's still a challenging environment, no oubt about it. >> you have 40 republicans stepping down or seeking other office? >> we saw one from new jersey just this week. so it is a challenging environment. in some ways having folks not tied to washington in the anti-d.c. sentiment out there could be a good thing in some of these districts because they're not tied to what's happening in

reporter: do you think there might be a need for a 24-hour c.r. yet? ms. pelosi: the bill is not finished yet. [indiscernible] ms. pelosi: we didn't have texts last night, but unwritten down in the final form that would probably just be now. it depends how long the senate decides to go forward and if they have the votes. reporter: did you hear what you wanted from the speaker? s. pelosi: there is a lot of stuff. very specifically. ease oniest thing that he could do. so easy and we did it a number of times before. bring everything to the floor. you want to bring goodlatte to the floor? bring it to the floor. if you want aguilar bill to the floor, bring it to the floor. anybody else who has something, what they y vote believe. queen of the hill means the bill that gets the most votes is the one that prevails, whether that goes to -- say, for example, the would go directly to the president. if it's her bill, it's more of a conference situation. the hurd bill is bipartisan and recognizes our responsibility to protect our borders, which we all agree that's how

again, shep, nobody is talking about a shut down and nobody is talking about attaching daca to the c.r. i'm puzzled to what that is about. >> shepard: the president is, there's that. john roberts, thank you. look at the tv. look at this. the dow is up 500 points. how? why? i don't have any idea. i do know this morning, got up at like 5:30 because the overnight markets and you knew everything was crazy and footsy and everything. wow, look, look. got up at 5:30, the world was collapsing. they're like we don't know what's going to open. the fox business people, we're going to be down 600, 700 people. it opened and way down. hundreds and hundreds of points. you know what you can count on right now? count on volatility. that's one thing. count on this. if yours is a short term strategy, that's not good. you need a long-term strategy. here's the thing by way of observation, not critique. the regular guys, regular folks have been on the sidelines with this market this whole run-up the last couple years or few years. has largely been institutions, right? not every day folks. you know when they

because that last c.r.ust so bad and reckless that we're going to have to deal with the ramifications from that going forward. >> neil: talking about continuing resolutions and a lot of them. that was the argument for going this route and finding another one. having said that, are you concerned that republicans have lost their dna? in order, that they're not -- the one thing that united you guys is your resistance to spending. now you're spending like crazy. >> yeah, i don't get it. i am concerned. i just had a senior citizen's fair this morning in my district. talking to people afterwards, they're all concerned about that. what is the long-term prognosis for this country's spending? you know, you have basically every american has a debt of over $60,000. that's their portion. to me that is remarkable. i get very concerned about that. my constituents are concerned. until we pair this back, it's going to impact maybe long-term the markets. >> neil: good luck tearing it back. that doesn't look to be happening.

. >> it is complicated because they have to do a c.r.that but when it comes to the house, nancy pelosi will make a difficult decision to deny them democratic votes because you'll have conservatives break away over the increase in nondefense -- >> the freedom caucus -- >> she has a crucial role to play going forward. >> i'll pause this here. this is lively and why we make television. stick around, up ahead, an nbc news exclusive, a top u.s. official said the russians have successfully penetrated u.s. voter systems. oh, joy. and at the same time, the secretary of state said russian meddling is a foregone conclusion. did he just invite hacking? that is coming up. with public services without starting from scratch. it brings your business up to speed, doing more with systems you have in place. it can bring all your apps to life and run them within your data center. it is... the new ibm cloud private. the cloud that's designed for your data. ai ready. secure to the core. the ibm cloud is the cloud for smarter business. secure to the core. you

or another, there were a number of issues that were out there that were resolved as a result of this c.rreed to. it just seemed to me that that was the perfect vehicle to try to get something through. obviously, it's been -- it's gotten increasingly controversial. the president has continued to highlight that issue on immigration, and as a result of that, i think we've got a lot of opposing sides on this issue having developed, so i -- i understand that ultimately they had to have a deal to try to get past another shutdown of the federal government, but there's no question now that a lot of the leverage that they had to try to really push this through, they have taken a lot of that pressure off. >>> tourist trip turned deadly after a helicopter crashes in the grand canyon. you're live in the "cnn news room." am i gonna be okay? i know people who specialize in "am i going to be okay." i like that. you may need glasses though. schedule a complimentary goal planning session with td ameritrade. oh! there's one.a "the sea cow"" manatees in novelty ts? surprising. what's "come at me bro?" it's

the spending cap deal on the six-week c.r. >> shepard: sounds like if you add it all together in the house of representatives, doesn't look like there's enough votes to pass this or there are? >> there could. again, depends on how many democrats choose to break from nancy pelosi's position that they will not support this without a more firm deal on daca. what we're hearing, there could be a number that decides to support this. >> shepard: will they want something? >> i think the understanding is paul ryan made a commitment and they're not sure how much more you can extract from the speaker. they want a similar deal the senate democrats got. it's not possible that paul ryan will made the same deal to senate democrats. >> shepard: it was a moment a couple hours ago. i feel like we ought to make mention of. a bipartisan agreement came out of washington. you saw the leader for the republicans and the senate and the leader for the democrats and the senate, the white house saying yes, yes, yes, we can get in done, bipartisanship for the senior bunch. and then over there in the house, it's

that will go to march 23rd, th the item that's most imperative to avoid a shutdown, the short-term c.r. or continuing resolution, but they're tiedg together, and now they're both being blocked. >> woodruff: i watched yourni report last. you got into some of what is in this bill, but flush out some more. >> a lot of folks concerned about the opioid crisis. there is $6 billion worth of fundin let's have some perspective on that. that's not much compared to the $25 billion recently requested from senators in high-impact states. another thing, the military.o we hear a about this $160 billion increase in their annual budget over the next to years. there's also another $16 billion for the military in something called the overseas contingency fund, emergency funding that's been kicked around year after year and has become an annual spending item. the milita getting aigger increase than people understand. there's a slew of tax extenders, nascar, plug-in cars, indian reservdoion, many, manzens of tax cuts in this bill. >> woodruff: so we heard senator flake lamenting what does this does to spen

lawmakers expected to pass another short-term c.r. that would get them into march.xpect more finger pointing on the inability for them to reach a budget agreement on time. it is sunday morning, february 4. new questions on the f.b.i. and the justice department following the release of that house intel memo. a release that was approved by president trump. we'll have more on this coming up in just a moment. the front page of "the washington post" has the

didn't i hear that the year before it was your last c.r. you're efrl voting for? -- you're ever voting for? you're never going to vote for another one. you know what would happen. let's say this speech was so persuasive that all my colleagues came in here, got a conscience and voted down this spending and said hooey with all of you, we're not to not spend all that money, the government was shut down and we'd come down on monday and do our job. we'd start looking at each individual items and we'd say these are the things we shouldn't spent it on -- spend it on and these are the things we should. if you pass one appropriations bill you don't have to worry about the other part. once you pass the defense appropriations bill, you don't have to worry about that shutting down. each time you pass an appropriations bill, you move on to another. we have to do that. i think the thing that's disappointing is probably everybody in here, republican and democrat, will tell you it is a terrible way to run the government. yet we're doing it. we did it a week ago and we did it thre

our military and the inclusion of these two important pieces of legislation, i'll be voting for the c.r. for the good of all hoosier children, families, and communities. thank you. and i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. mr. markey: i ask unanimous consent that i be recognized to speak for up to ten minutes followed by senator cardin for up to ten minutes. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. markey: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i rise to speak about the need to protect our dreamers from deportation. when we talk about dreamers, we are talking about immigrants who came to this country as children. we are talking about immigrants whose parents brought them here when they were young to give them a better chance than they had in their home countries. we are talking about young immigrants who when they were children had no choice in the decision to come to the united states. these dreamers know no other home than the united states, and many of them have spent their lives in limbo identifying as americans but lack

i have previously expressed my strong displeasure for short-term funding measures, or c.r.'s, but this agreement makes significant progress toward rebuilding our military, and finally, after years of underfunding, provide the department of defense with a much-needed spending boost. this will allow the military to increase their armed forces in ta time of increasing global threats. but don't just take my word for it. let me quote the defense secretary james mattis who testified before the armed services committee earlier this week. he said, and i quote, let me be clear, as hard as the last 16 years of war have been on our military, no enemy in the field has done as much to harm the readiness of the united states military than the combined impact of the budget control act's defense spending caps, worsened by operating for the last 10 of 11 years of unpredictable duration. secretary mattis went on to say, the consequences are clear. should we stumble into a year-long continuing resolution, your military will not be able to provide pay for our troops by the end of the fiscal yea

and finally bring an end to the defense component of a c.r. or continuing resolution that with arbitrary budget caps is so severely impacting the readiness of our armed forces. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. mr. president, i would note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent that further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: i understand the senate has received a message from the house to accompany h.r. 695. the presiding officer: the leader is correct. mr. mcconnell: i move that the chair lay before the senate the message to accompany h.r. 695. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion. all in favor say aye. those opposed no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the motion is agreed to. the clerk will report the message. the clerk: resolved, that the house agreed to the amendment of the
