mr. costello: mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues, particularly those on the other side of the aisle, to prevail upon senate democrats to open the government up. we can continue these important policy discussions with an open government. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland -- without objection, the gentleman from maryland is recognized for one minute. >> the trump travesty continues. mr. hoyer: as it has for the last 12 months. we have heard our colleagues on the other side of the aisle talk about the children's health insurance program. they are very concerned about its passage. bring it to the floor. it will pass. and i guarantee you it will pass the senate. your speaker, our speaker, said, and i quote, we will advance major legislation one issue at a time. that is not what the bill you put on this floor did. it is not what the bill that's on the senate floor did. you are right. the

mr. costello: thank you, mr. speaker. we need to keep the government open and we need to keep the government funded and we need to re-authorize the children's health insurance program. now, in the energy and commerce committee, we passed chip re-authorized for five years, out of committee in october. we passed it out of the full house in november. we are now back now to authorize it for a full six years. we do not need any additional pay-fors. this will help 177,000 children in pennsylvania and millions across the country. chip funding will be exhausted next month in pennsylvania. right now some states already face a shortfall in their funding as the program has not yet been fully re-authorized for all of calendar year -- all of fiscal year 2018. it is past time we provide a long-term solution and stability for families who depend on this quality, affordable coverage. i've heard from so many constituents, i've heard from many democrats speaking, urging us to re-authorize chip. tonight we have a vote to keep the government

mr. costello, you're recognized for five minutes. >> first i want to thank you for partnering with the police for law enforcement action focused on recovering you recolleundera. now, i understand why the cda provided immunity to isps in the first instance. there is an intellectual appreciation of why it was the case. i have met with a mother whose daughter was advertised. when you hear what these ads are and what is said it really hits you in a way that compels you to say that's simply not acceptable and we need to create a standard by which an isp and others can be liable where they have more of a responsibility than has been required of them. so the question i have is can you talk about the successful efforts that were taken online during the operation and how, if at all, we can revise section cda to improve these efforts? i would point to the reckless disregard standard. i think it is very i think that's very helpful language of miss wagner's bill as well as we are hesitant to give state investigative authorities, state law enforcement jurisdiction over internet type related crimes because
