. >> tell us why this process known as minibus use of appropriation bills debated by committees, why this process versus the regular way that congress typically handles these issues. >> right. this year they are very behind schedule. part of that is because there's a new administration. it takes time to get the full cabinet implement it and to get the budget written. so the process has just been really delayed and also had to finish up some carryover work from last year. so now they're behind schedule. they are playing catch-up. there's really no time for so-called regular order process where they bring these bills to the floor one by one. there's 12 bills. there were hoping to do all 12 this week. the wasn't enough support among house republicans to do that. so house gop leaders decided to do these for bills instead, a minibus instead of the omnibus which would've and 12 bills. they are playing catch-up try to get something done before the recess that they can take him to the constituents. this package does fund some republican priorities like the border security funding and a huge

by taking up this minibus today we are setting ourselves up for failure and we are setting ourselves up for an early fall with no real progress to be made on the f.y. 2018 appropriations bills. mr. speaker, we continue to govern in this fashion. i believe it is time we stop listening to the most extreme voices and get past these unrealistic beliefs that we can cut our way to prosperity. we cannot. if this failed philosophy persists, our work will only get more difficult. it is clear that passing any appropriations bill that will be signed into law will require a bipartisan majority of both houses. as a result of this irresponsible posture, i will sadly be voting against the minibus and look forward to working towards an appropriations product that both parties can work on together in true bipartisan tradition. and mr. speaker, i'd lastly before i close like to thank our staff in the milcon-va bill on both the majority and the minority side. maureen, sarah, sue, shawn, tracy with the majority and matt washington, roselyn and jonathan with the minority. thank you. i yield back the bala

underlying legislation, i want to raise concerns about the bulk of the work this week which is a so-called minibus appropriations bill, in which this body will seek to spend deficit billion of expenditures. that funding bill combines four major appropriations bills and represents more than half of discretionary spending. it includes our spending for the legislative branch, veterans, energy and water, department of defense. unfortunately, there's additional deficit spending that my colleagues across the aisle have decided to put in the bill, providing $1.6 illion to mr. a border wall, directly -- to build a border wall, directly contrary to the promise the president made, pay nother country would the wall. they are asking you to pay for -- not l, in direct something he promised. d requiring the use of the aumf, it was placed in this bill in committee. representative lee's amendment was stripped by the rules committee despite it being in the committee mark and despite the bipartisan support to require the use for military force. we need to start making decisions about the direction of our military.

it's likely when they come back they can add the eight bills to this four-bill minibus, but the budget issue remains. the levels that the bill is written to, are not ones that would be able to be implemented. they would not be able to be enacted. instead it would trigger cuts so there's no likelihood really that this, any of these bills become law until the congress decides how they want to raise these budget caps. >> very briefly, the house still on track to recess after tomorrow? >> that's the hope. there's a few things left, including they're trying to push some veterans legislation. they're trying to move through with intel authorization, but the house is looking to finish up by tomorrow. as part of the rule that's going to be adopted on the defense debate. they've allowed themselves suspension authority which allows them to pass legislation under suspension of the rules. not just for thursday, but also for friday. which signals they plan to be there through the end of the week. but the goal is to get out for recess after that. >> kelly maijry, on capitol hill for cq roll call, tha
