ms. kaptur. robert spaulding wrote in the "washington post" recently, an article called, nuclear weapons, instruments of peace. in his close he wrote, i quote, the sensible path to peace starts with the realization that peace can be secured only through strength. nuclear weapons represent that strength, we must embrace it through funding and rhett rick, end of quotation marks. indeed we do, nothing is more important than the reliability of our nuclear weapons stockpile. as is, obviously, our responsibility to the world to prevent nuclear proliferation. and one of the ways that we protect america and provide for a strong national defense is to have a strong naval reactor program so that our aircraft carriers and subsequent can truly do the work of freedom. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey yields back. all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 371, the previous question is ordered. the question son engrossment and third

ms. kaptur from ohio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from ohio is recognized for one minute. ms. kaptur: i thank ranking member lowey for yielding me time and i rise in support of the senate's bipartisan compromise to end the government shutdown, reopen the government, avert a debt default and pay our bills to spur economic growth and job creation in this country. this compromise today is what the american people expect of us. they are tired of the partisan bickering and the economic uncertainty that the deadlock has created. the biggest challenge facing our country is creating growth to help to balance the budget. we can start by coming together on a budget agreement. so let's restore regular order, let the budget committee go back to work, let the ways and means committee go back to work. let the appropriations committee go back to work under regular order. not just continuing resolutions. and let us move our bills in regular order and not govern from manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis. i will vote for this this evening. it is the best we could get under the circums

ms. kaptur, for five minutes. ms. kaptur: thank you. mr. speaker, politico recently reported that the u.s. trade representative, michael foman, is pressing for another trade bill as soon as possible. this one called the transpacific partnership signed with asian pacific countries, about a dozen of them. whether it's the obama administration, the bush first or bush second administration, or clinton administration, the executive branch continues to push the same old failed trade model that puts foreign involvements in multinational interests ahead of america's workers and america's businesses. in fact, these deals have cost america millions and millions of jobs as our trade deficit continues to get worse. this is particularly disturbing, this proposal for a new trade deal, because if you look at the results of the first obama administration trade deal, the korean deal, you'll see the proof is in the pudding that things didn't get better, they actually got worse. we were told with the korean free trade deal, that america would create 70,000 jo

ms. kaptur. ms. kaptur: i ask all present to join us. pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will now entertain requests for one-minute seaches on each side of the aisle. -- speeches on each side of the aisle. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. poe: i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. poe: mr. speaker, the mall and the memorials on the mall e public places, open 24 hours a day. but the park has closed them. but the park service discriminates who exercises the first amendment and who may not. it allowed a free speech immigration rally on the mall but denied people access to the world war ii memorial. this is arbitrary. thus, constitutionally unlawful. the park service forgets also that the first am

ms. kaptur, for five minutes. ms. kaptur: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for five minutes, revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. kaptur: the greatest power a banker has is to create money. banks can also abuse that awesome power. and it seems like the bigger the banks are, the more they abuse that power. an example, it was over five years ago that america was hit with the great wall street induced recession. five years later those banks are still paying our people almost nothing if they have deposits, or certificates of deposits with those institutions. that's harming seniors across this country. that's harming people who are trying to make a go of it. it's harming investors. meanwhile, banks continue to post huge profits, especially the very biggest ones that are market controllers. j.p. morgan chase just in the last year, $21 billion in profit. wells fargo, $19 billion. goldman sachs, $7.5 billion in profit. citigroup, $7.5 billion. bank of america, $4 billion. while america

ms. kaptur, ms. marcy kaptur of ohio. who spoke here on the floor a few moments ago. ms. kaptur, share with us your thoughts on the current crisis in america. ms. kaptur: i want to thank congressman gare men tee for bringing us all together this evening. congresswoman jackson lee. congressman honda. those who are here, serious about trying to rectify what happened last night with the g.o.p. shutdown of our departments of the federal government. how very irresponsible. how reckless. how it puts our economy at risk to put politics ahead of the national interest. and so, so unnecessary. i stand here this evening as a member of the appropriations committee, the committee in the constitution that is responsible for operating and providing the funding for the departments of our government. department of transportation, department of defense, department of education, department of defense, you can go across the departments an as of the end of september, we're supposed to have the budgets passed for each of those departments for fiscal year 2014. that officially began last night a

ms. kaptur: mr. speaker, it appears negotiated proposal that is bipartisan will come to a vote before this house today. to end the government shutdown and avert a debt default. the american people surely are looking for reassurance that their government will offer them the security and dependability that they expect. our citizens expect a nation that is confident and certain, not unsteady and uncertain. with the expectation that this compromise from the senate will now be brought before the house, the dow today already is up 200 points. that is what america wants. a growing economy. job creation here at home. a government run efficiently as part of a larger hole in which we all have a stake. as our nation grow it is self out of the deepest recession in modern history, the least any member can do is do no harm. a working bipartisan majority here in this households the power to govern this nation. all it needs is the will. frankly, the world depends on the certainty of the u.s. dollar. let's get back t

ms. kaptur, for five minutes. ms. kaptur: i thank you. mr. speaker, i rise to congratulate the three he recipients of the nobel prize in medicine for 2013. all three work at american university. dr. james e. rothman chairs the cell biology department at yale university. dr. randy w. chefman works at the university of california berkeley. and their german counterpart, dr. thomas c. sudoff is on the faculty at stanford. the nobel committee has recognized the importance of their lifesaving work. the question is, why don't the house republicans? on the very day that three researchers at american universities won the nobel prize in medicine, the house republicans continue their siege against the government of the united states. and their siege includes the national institutes of health. where the american people through their federal government support medical research and path breaking basic research in the difficult search for cures. mr. speaker, i should note that dr. rothman of yale received two grants under the obama recovery act for his work

ms. kaptur: mr. speaker, i ask for a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: a recorded vote is requested. those in favor of a recorded vote will rise. a sufficient number having arisen, a recorded vote is ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. this is a five-minute vote. [captioning made possible by the national captioning institute, inc., in cooperation with the united states house of representatives. any use of the closed-captioned coverage of the house proceedings for political or commercial purposes is expressly prohibited by the u.s. house of representatives.] the speaker pro tempore: on this vote the yeas are 248, the nays are 176. the joint resolution is passed. without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the house will stand in this is my opinion. if we allow the united states to default on its that for the first time in our glorious history, we put a black mark on our reputation. that is a gross understatement. we will have financial disaster a

ms. kaptur: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. kaptur: yes, madam speaker, i want to apologize to the people of southern ohio and pike county and the uranium enrichment facility for not being able to be with them today. we did not theapt our schedule would be completely disrupted by the shenanigans here due to the g.o.p. shutdown of our departments of government, which is so unnecessary. so absolutely discourteous to the people of this country. initially when this happened, the calls that came into our office were calls of dismay and shock and upset, about the inability of this congress to reach agreements because of a ry recless -- reckless fashion. now we're getting calls from people who have gone to apply for social security benefits and there's nobody there to take their application. now we're getting calls from veterans who are returning from theater and there's nobody there to process their benefit claims. we have over 800,000 peopl

ms. kaptur: i rise in tribute to our former colleague, congressman major owens of brooklyn, new york. major and i were elected in the class of 1998 and had the joy f serving together for several decades. he was a fighter for learning, perhaps the first librarian ever elected to the congress of the united states and he came from brooklyn, far from where i live, but his predecessor, shirley chisholm, was the only member of congress who in our first campaign came to campaign for me, and i shall never forget that. major was a social critic and he was a voice from a brooklyn i only imagined as a child, with the brooklyn dodgers, the old field torn down, the dodgers moved to los angeles and baseball changed forever from a human institution where the players came from that region to an enterprise where they were traded like chattel. major understood the difference and the work he did here, fighting for learning, fighting for libraries, for the training of workers new york a very measured way he had a poetic sense about him coming to the floor many times in the evening and delivering some of

ms. kaptur: thank you. mr. speaker, this republican shutdown and their threats not to pay america's bills are not only reckless but they are playing with economic fire. their irresponsibility is burning the american people. there are currently more than 800,000 federal employees out of work with thousands already filing for unemployment benefits because they have been furloughed by the g.o.p. shutdown. these are working men and women who have to pay the bills, their mortgages, car loans, and the republican shutdown is harming the whole economy. the dow jones industrial average went down another 136 points yesterday, and is down nearly 200 points during the course of this republican shutdown. it is currently at its lowest levels in a month. global markets continue to slide due to the uncertainty that the republican shutdown has caused. according to news reports, it has already cost us over $2 billion because of the shutdown and it's hurting u.s. trade because inspections of imports and applications for exports c

ms. kaptur from ohio for unanimous consent request. ms. kaptur: i want to thank ranking member serrano and ask unanimous consent that the house bring up the senate amendment to h.j.res. 59, the clean continuing resolution, so we can go to conference on a real budget. let's end this republican government shutdown that is already harming economic recovery and has already slowed -- the speaker pro tempore: it is recorded in section 956 of the house rules and we entertain requests unless it's been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leadership. the gentleman from new york. mr. serrano: mr. speaker, i recognize mr. price from north carolina for unanimous consent equest. mr. price: i ask unanimous consent that the house now consider passing clean continuing resolution so they can pay the frontline personnel who -- the speaker pro tempore: as the chair previously advised the request cannot be entertained absent propescleern. the gentleman from new york. mr. serrano: i recognize the gentleman, mr. farr, for unanimous consent request. mr.

ms. kaptur: the republican shutdown of government and their moves to not pay our debt is like forceing medicine on a sec patient, you may -- forcing bad medicine on someone, you may force them to take it but it may dill kill them. where does the $17 trillion deficit come from? ell the recession cost trillions in wealth and millions of job. under president obama we had 7.5 million job crease ated unlike the bush years when there wasn't a single job cree eated. in the last 12 month the country lost 4.6 million jobs. america has accumulated an 8.4 -- an $8.4 trillion deficit since 1975 and racked up $4 trillion in unpaid for war spending. what's the republican idea? shut down the government, don't pay the bills. we need to restore regular order, move bills to create jobs and keep america's promises to our debtors. let's nurse our nation back to health. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded to heed the gavel. the gentlewoman's time has expire. members are remined to please heed the gavel. for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to addres

ms. kaptur: thank you. mr. speaker, the majority party's latest idea is to create a supercommittee to figure out how to reverse their republican shutdown of government. frankly, congress doesn't need another committee. it only needs the speaker to unlock the tea party chains put on regular committee order and function in this house. let the appropriations committee do its job as mandated by our constitution. it can and will get the job done. though it is not my first preference, we can begin by allowing a vote on a clean continuing resolution, that is allowing the senate bill, which contains the republican budget mark of $986 billion to move forward. though the democrats have expressed deep dismay at that number as it is not what democrats have sought in discretionary accounts, it speaks loudly to which party is wig to compromise -- willing to compromise. if the majority party does not like the affordable care act, use your real power in the regular committee structure that you control to change it. but closing

ms. kaptur: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to include extraneous material into the record. mr. speaker, it's with gratitude but with heavy heart that i on behalf of the people of the united states and our region of ohio in particular extend deepest sympathy to the people of poland on the passing of ex-premiere of poland. during his exceptional and transformative life, he played a will the gentleman yielding role in ushering the first era of liberty that poland had been afforded in modern history. poland has assumed a pivotal and leading role in the european union, and its history, history is still recording its rich poignant struggle to defeat tyranny and give rebirth to freedom. as "the new yorks times" reported this week, the premiere was the first communist to head a block nation since the late 1940's. salad aret in poland grew with his engagement and his leadership in poland at a time of critical change toward a democratic state has secured for him a permanent place in the history of a free poland in europe. poland's see admission to nato and poland's g

ms. kaptur: i want to thank chairman mica so very much for the privilege of extending the deepest condolenceseople of ohio to the young family, to the constituents of congressman bill young's district in florida. it was such a privilege to know him. truly, he was not just a vigilant patriot, though that surely would have been enough, but he really was a man of the house. he belonged here. and his people knew that for over four decades. when i think of bill young i think of words leek courage, perseverance, insight. and fair play. he had a gentlemanly demeanor at any time i ever encountered him. he had a respect for regular order, for the gavel, and for seniority, which i share. he had a fortitude about him that people in my part of the country call real spunk and he had a sparkle in his eye and an easy smile and an understanding. he was such a real human being. part of that is the fact that he grew up very poor in pennsylvania, in a coal town in an old shack. he really knew what poverty was and he didn't have an easy childhood and he never forgot that. yet he rose to be a master appropriator,
