mr. flores: coaches blair and schafer and their staff should be commended for their leadership in guiding the texas aggies to their sixth straight ncaa tournament and their first ever national title. and let me add that dan yell adams, the aggies -- danielle adams, the aggies senior all-american, scored the second most points in aggie history. i'm glad to stand in front of my colleagues and say there is no other coach, team orphan base that deserves this more than coach blair, the texas aggie women's basketball team and the loyal fans that texas and -- a&m university. glood job. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the house will be in order, please. for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado rise? the gentleman from louisiana, for what purpose does the gentleman rise? without objection. mr. fleming: mr. speaker, with respect to the possible shutdown, i have to say that this is directly as a result of a distinct lack of leadership. former speaker pelosi showed no leadership in not even attempting to submit a 2011 budget in the 111th congress.
