rahall. i urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to work with us to make sure that our efforts to provide certain certainty account for the size and complexity of some water projects. if we can continue to act in a bipartisan way, as i know mr. shuster and mr. rahall will do, we can send a message that congress is ready to move forward and help more of our people make it in america. and i hope we can tap into this spirit of cooperation by scheduling consideration of a comprehensive immigration reform legislation which, like this bill, has support from both sides of the aisle, from business, from labor, from religious groups and from leading nonprofits. that is a challenge i think that we can meet this year and, again, i want to congratulate the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. shuster, who has worked hard in a focused and bipartisan way to bring this day to fruition and i congratulate him and i thank mr. rahall, my good friend who has worked so diligently over so many years to make

rahall: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, some of my colleagues would have us believe that our current federal shutdown has no real consequences. i have heard some even suggest that this period of suspended government should be thought of merely as a slow down or a slim down. there is talk that the shutdown is causing no real pain. most extreme anti-government politicians even expressed the hope that such a cutback in government programs and services should be made permanent. and too many others are content to hang back and let those with extreme views have their way for the time being. but i stand here today to remind my colleagues and the public that cuts in government funding and government programs have consequences. sometimes deadly. it is a lesson he we learned in 2006 when annual coal mining deaths sored -- soared to 45. a 10-year high, reversing a trend of steadily falling fatalities, a trend delibted in part to years of underfunding the mine safety health administration. it is a lesson we should heed now. th
