. >> and i am such a fan and i am reminded of what vince lombardi said, winning is not everything.ing. it was very heartbreaking as i had everybody explain to me what happened. i watched the clip over and over and over again. but this is a great sacrifice to the green bay packers. it does elucidate something that's very important. i want to add gender to it. i know you will appreciate that, melissa. our governor, governor walker, supports this gladiator support, football, as he did in wisconsin when he divided and conquered. he excluded the firefighters and the police from his collective bargaining acts but subjected teachers and women as was the case in chicago. in chicago, 81% of the teachers were women. 50% of them african-american women. sud sdenl, suddenly, union rights, safety, pensions were not an issue for those workers as they are for police and firefighters and these gladiators on the field. >> that point, i think, is just such a brilliant one because it reminds us that our notion of what the american worker is is more complex. it is not just like the guy in the hard hat.

speaker, one of the great football coaches in american history was vince lombardi from green bay, wisconsin, who, again, was very famous for his inspiring speeches to his players and to his staff. one of his most famous quotes was, winners never quit, and quitters never win. i wish, mr. speaker, that the republican leadership in the house would go back and read mr. lombardi's words when they made the decision this past friday to basically quit on the american people and say that we are going to recess this week after conclusion of business on friday for the next seven weeks. this isn't a time when not only the eyes of the country are on this chamber to get much needed critical decisions made, but frankly the eyes of the world are watching this congress to see whether or not, again, financial markets will have any horizon in terms of tax policy, in terms of budget policy, and in terms of a whole host of basic fundamental issues like the farm bill, like the post office functioning, that when on friday this place clears out after mr. boehner's decision to recess, are going to be left hanging f

for my book on vince lombardi, turning to my wonderful wife in 1996 and uttering the immortal, lovinghow would you like to move to green bay for the winter? [laughter] she did, and it was only by living up there in green bay and in during the winter and being in a company town where you understood that the packers were everything, not the only thing. after a week she said she felt out of uniform and had to go buy a green and gold sweatshirt. everything about her was essential to that, and i have been making it up to her ever since. of course, a lot easier to say, how would you like to go to san juan for the winter to as teddy roberto clemente were jerome for many weeks to study the rome olympics, but this book about barack, is the one that took us on a journey unlike any i have endured before. we traveled more than 60,000 miles around the world to kenya and indonesia, many times to ally, kan., and then los angeles, chicago, new york, sort of the stages of across a bar barack obama's life and the life of his family. going to kenya for the first time was a truly amazing experience and s

courtney: vince lombardi once said, winners never quit and quitter never win. i was reminded of that when the house said they are canceling all session days for the month of october despite the fact we have an unfinished farm bill, cybersecurity act and fiscal cliff looming on january 1 and a sequestration on january 2. there are passionate differences between the two sides about how to resolve these problems but they deal with it by going home for seven weeks. coach lombardy said winners never quit and quitter never win. the american people deserve better than a seven-week recess. it's time for this leader ship of this house to cancel their order and get back to work and solve the problems of our nation. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from tennessee seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. black: from a small town in middle tennessee, 13 young men recently became
