mr. deutch: for the 1.3 million americans that we left behind by failing to extend emergency unemployment benefits before we left, this is the week when the checks stop. this is the week when it becomes more difficult for them. to keep a roof over their heads, to keep a warm environment for their families as they continue to seek employment. mr. speaker, we have an obligation to move forward, to make sure that those benefits are continued. it's the right thing to do, it's time for this congress to act. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i rise to ask unanimous consent to address the house for one moment. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to congratulate this year's b.c.s. national champions, florida state seminoles. in one of the greatest championship games of the b.c.s. era, head coach jimbo fisher and jameis winston led the seminoles to a thrilling come-from-behind victory last night over the auburn tigers. w
