I will yield the balance of the time to dr. Harris. The Affordable Care act is the law of the land. Quite frankly, a reckless behavior on the part of the majority. What you have done is to shut this government down and instead of wasting time trying to play politics and instead of cherry picking important programs like the nih to fund, we should be working on the budget for the entire government. N the government and new and move to negotiations. With regard to healthcare issues, its important to note and thats why we should not be opening the government on a piecemeal basis. Comprehensive, short term continuing resolution that keeps the entire government open and at work. What other activities are engaged in health that you are bypassing or ignoring or dont believe they have any priority . Or dont believe they have any priority. Center for the Disease Control. Two thirds of their personnel are now on furlough. Important programs like protecting public health, going by the by. Monitoring for slow, other Infectious Diseases. Assistance to state and local departments, and protecting and responding to disease outbreaks. Programs to prevent, protect, or better manage diabetes, heart disease, chronic diseases. Food and Drug Administration has sent the staff home. Food safety is in danger. Time has expired. Mental health services. Hiv aids. If you care about health, open the government and negotiate. The gentleladys time has expired. The gentleman from georgia. If i can get a Democratic Democratic Party member, i would be glad to Work Together to move the bill. With that, i yield. Cherry pick. Dr. Andy harris from maryland. The gentleman from maryland is recognized. Thank you. When the president and the Senate Shutdown down the government yesterday, i do not think they realized what would happen to pediatric cancer plate patients. I want to thank the committee for bringing it to the attention of the house yesterday in their comments. We get to solve the problem today. During a temporary lapse in funding, the Department Guidance the department of justice guidancefor Continuous Operation includes activity to protect the safety of human lives. Although over 40 of the office of the secretary were exempt from this furlough, strangely enough, some lawyer in the executive branch decided pediatric cancer place patients seeking to enroll in do notdo not enroll. Merit those Services Necessary to protect the safety of human life. I hope everybody here disagrees with that interpretation. Having taken care of many pediatric Cancer Patients in my medical career and being a parent, we know pediatric cancer deals with the safety of human life. Interestingly oh enough, to their credit, the Indian Health service state open so if you have a common cold, you get treated. It pediatric cancer, you do not. The land man animals have been taken care of. The lab animals at nih are being taken care of. But if you have pediatric center, you are darned. I would hope we could agree they should be. This will solves the problem. This will protects children this bill protects childrenseeking to enroll in cancer programs. At the nih. The president and senate have already accepted a stepbystep approach when they excepted legislation over the weekend. To fund our men and women in uniform. The bill was signed into law with bipartisan support. This bill should be signed into law with bipartisan support so we can help the Cancer Patients, especially those 30 children or so a week. I admit because of what the Senate Majority leader said today, we may have a tough hill to climb with this. But the house has to do what is right. Even if for only one child with cancer whose life rests with the nih. I yield back my time. National parks and memorials are closed because of the Government Shutdown. The house floor debate on funding for the reopening of the National Parks. The measure passed by a vote of the debate is 50 minutes. I call up a joint resolution hj residence 70. A joint resolution making continuing appropriations for the park operations for the smithsonian the United States holocaust memorialmuseum and for other purposes. Resolution saturday cap 70. Continuing revolution resolutions, the system smithsonian, United States locaust memorial use em for fiscal year 2014 and other fourpurposes. The joint resolution is considered red. Well be debatable for 30 minutes divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority video. Member of the committee of appropriations. Mr. Simpson and the gentleman from virginia will each control mr. Moran will each control 15 minutes. I ask unanimous consent to include extraneous material on hj residence 70 and that i may tack on material. Without objection. I yield myself as much time as i may consume. Here we are again. We were here yesterday with republicans trying to open the Government Backup and democrats i arise today to support the fundingthe smithsonian museum. Of these important institutions likethe smithsonian museum. So many effects of the Government Shutdown, which began days ago. We hear of more and more impacts resulting from the shutdown across the country and in our Nations Capital. I want to remind my friends on the other side of the aisle all 401 National ParkService Units in the united dates, 19 smithsonian units and galleries, including the national zoo, remain closed to the public. This legislation would reopen these National Treasures to the American Public. The Government Shutdown is having a real impact on real people and on the national economy. I remind my colleagues it is estimated the local economy is losing up to 230 million a day with the smithsonian museums, Holocaust Museum, and other popular attractions closed to the public. This does not begin to measure the national or International Impact of the closures. Think of the families, veterans groups, students, who all have saved for months and years to travel to our Nations Capital from across the country to visit the air and space museum, the lincoln memorial, the world war ii memorial, the national zoo, or the national garrity gallery of art. This has a real impact on real people. Think of the families who have reservations to visit visit the National Statue of liberty. The Government Shutdown, again, has a real impact on real people. Think of the impact the Government Shutdown is having on one of the most hallowed National ParkService Historic sites in our country. , fords theater. Not only are taurus denied it d trends, the shutdown has not only are tourists denied entrance to the theater but the shutdown hasforced evening performances to be removed to another location because of the budget impact. Think of young people who had a National ParkService Permit to get married at the just Jefferson Memorial the saturday. Families arriving from all over the country, for what should be the happiest day of the new couples life. Because the Government Shutdown, they are not able to get married at the Jefferson Memorial and are scrambling to find an alternative solution to get married. Lets pass this bill so millions of americans across the country inn enjoy our National Parks. This couple can get married at the Jefferson Memorial. There is a photo on todays Washington Postsputting up barricades. ,putting up barricades. This is an open area, accessible day,e public. 24 hours a seven days per week, 365 days per year andwe are putting barriers around it. Just down the street, barricades were put up around the world war ii memorial accessible to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The temporary barriers did not stop a large group of world war ii veterans, members of the greatest generation in their 80s and 90s from storming the barricades so they can witness the memorial built in their honor. Touristsvisiting washington and many furlough federal finding physical barriers from preventing them from visiting our openair national monuments. Honoring lincoln, jefferson, king and our world war ii heroes. At some point, congress and the president will overcome their differences over federal funding. But isnt it ironic and even cynical that when the government shuts down the president S Administration actually builds physical barriers at sites that are otherwise open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year . How cynical is that . Now, some people say they put those barriers there to protect them from vandalism. So we use the park police to put up and protect the barriers but not the monuments. That doesnt make a lot of sense to me. To my friends on the democratic side of the aisle, if you seek a solution to this Government Shutdown, if you seek a bipartisan solution, mr. President , you could start by tearing down these barriers. Why are the house and Senate Democrats denying the American People the right to visit these . Lets open these morals and museums. Lets open these memo reals and museums. I close with this thought. By closing this legislation, you by opposing this legislation, youare voting to keep our National Parks close. To keep the statue of liberty closed, to keep the theater closed, the smithsonian closed, to keep the national zoo closed, to keep the Holocaust Museum closed, you are voting to keep the National Gallery of art closed. We should not be using our National Park, the smithsonian, a Holocaust Museum, and the National Gallery art, as hostages for the democratic my way or the highway shutdown. That is exactly what this is. You either agree with us or we shut the government down. We simply wanted to go to conference. That is not good enough, either. We cannot go to conference to talk about these differences, so lets shut it down. That is what the Democratic Democratic Party has done. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support it and reopen the National Treasures and i reserve the balance of my time. Members are reminded to write the comments to the chair. The gentleman from virginia is recognized. Thank you. I yield myself as much time as i mr. Speaker, as yogi berra would say, it is deja vu all over again. Yesterday, the majority rushed to the floor, this bill to partially open the park service. The smithsonian, the holocaust is him and the National Gallery of art. We had a spirited debate in the house failed to pass this bill. And now we are debating the very same bill. It was a bad idea yesterday, and it certainly hasnt improved over the last 24 hours. Ill explain why. Because instead of reopening the entire federal government or even the entire interior department, the majority has resorted to sing willing out publicly visible programs for action while leaving thousands of important functions of government shut down and hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed. Its time to stop using federal employees as pawns in this cynical game. Mr. Speaker, this g. O. P. Act of desperation is evidence of how politically bankrupt their position has become. It is degenerating down to picking winners and losers among federal workers. The American Public is getting burned and some of the political heat is finally getting to the republican majority. So now they would allow workers at the smithsonian, Holocaust Museum and the gallery of art and a few of the employees directly involved in the operation of our National Park system to return to work. Do they really think that this is going to save them from the publics wrath . Under this bill, thousands of National ParkService Employees involved in Historic Preservation and National Recreation programs and maintainance and construction still remain furloughed. What about the furloughed employees of the bureau of Land Management and the furloughed employees at the fish and wildlife service, the 18,800 furloughed employees in the forest service, 16,000 furloughed employees of the Social Security administration . Doesnt the majority support the important programs that they carry out . We should value all of our federal employees. We should value the scientists at the u. S. Geological survey and Health Professionals at the Infectious Disease control and munization control, just as program at the centers for Disease Control just asthe park ranger and museum workers. How do you explain to the library of Congress Workers they are less important than their smithsonian counterparts. I want to see them opened as do all the democrats on this side of the aisle. We want to open the government and we would vote today to do so if you would let the bill come to the floor. Because we want to see all the wildlife refuge system open. 155 national forests, 866 areas of the National Landscape conservation system reopened. But are keeping all those closed. But you are keeping all those closed. Does the majority believe that those are not important, that they dont deserve to be opened and the public should be able to use those National Assets . This bill is a bandaid and wont staun much the open rage that the public is beginning to feel. The American Public depend on the work that federal employees do. This is a quick fix to deflect the political heat the majority is facing. This idea of picking and choosing, which ones are allowed to operate and which ones remain shut down is politically bankrupt. I implore my republican colleagues to abandon the junior senators from texas plan. The president has reafffirmed he would veto these cherry picked bills. So this is a waste of time. People are out of work and we are wasting our time on this. We could just have 20 republicans, less than that vote on a clean c. R. , it would pass. The government would open today. And you wont do it, because youre afraid of this ideological extremist faction in you dont want to get them upset. Its time to stop these guys. These games. The house g. O. P. Needs to let our hostages go and go on with the real business of governing and vote on a clean c. R. And reopen the whole government. I reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson he is unwilling to put his constituents back to work. I would be happy to yield to the chairman of the Natural Resources committee for two minutes. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. Mr. Hastings i rise again today in support of this resolution. While its understandable that during this shutdown, some services would be limited in some parks and visitors centers. I believe thiS Administration is going out of its way to take unreasonable and unnecessary steps to block Public Access to parks and monuments. There is absolutely no reason by openair parks and monuments here in washington, d. C. Should be barricaded off. These are places that are outdoors, where people are allowed 24 7, 365day access to these memorials. Why are they closed now . Furthermore, memorials that werent closed during the last Government Shutdown in 1996 have been barricaded today. ThiS Administration is choosing to do this. It wants the effect of this Government Shutdown to be as painful as possible and the worst example of how the Obama Administration erected field barricades to keep our world war inch i veterans out of the world war ii veterans out of the memorial. These men are National Heroes who flew here. The park service knew they were coming. They didnt deserve to be greeted by armed National Park police when they were at the entrance. Now, mr. Speaker, it doesnt cost the federal government a single penny to let these veterans walk around this outdoor openair structure, but ironicically. The federal government is spending money to keep them out. It may be costing more money to keep the visitors out than it would to let them in. And to add further insulate to injury, the Obama Administration isnt applying this policy consistently. While highly visible monuments are barricaded off, others are open. They are choosing which to keep open and which to close, further proof that they are playing politics. This bill today would end these type of political games and further, mr. Speaker, 15 seconds. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hastings as chairman of the house Natural Resources committee that has jurisdiction of our National Parks, we have started investigation into why thiS Administration did these precise actions, and with that, i thank the gentleman for yielding and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The gentleman from idaho reserves. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran mr. Speaker, how much do we have on either side . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia has 10 minutes, the gentleman from idaho has 10 3 4. Mr. Moran i yield a minute and and a half to the Ranking Member of the appropriations committee, mrs. Lowey. Mrs. Lowey i rise in opposition to the republican shutdown, of course we support funding for our National Parks, but the hues has not had that opportunity but the house is not had that opportunitybecause republicans couldnt advance their own combror bill out of the their own interior why isut of the committee. This more important than investments in job Training Systems that are dependent on their expected allotment of fundsand allowing all of our food inspectors to continue to protect the American Food supply. And todays bill doesnt even include funding for essential fiferinge efforts for the park service. Firefighting funding one budget at a time efforts for the park service. Funding one budget at a time while doing nothing about other Clinical Services is no way to Critical Services is no way tofulfill our constitutional responsibility to keep the government running or grow our economy. The bill we are considering is nothing more than a republican ploy. It would not be necessary if republicans had not been so reckless throughout the budgetary process forcing us into a shutdown. We could end the shutdown today if the majority would allow on efforts for the park service. Funding one budget at a time while doing nothing about other the senatepassed bill to keep the government running, which includes the funding levels that republicans support and would be signed by the president. Pass the bill today and the couple can get married at the Jefferson Memorial and the 200 patients who would be admitted to the Clinical Trials would not be turned away. The House Majority apparently cant take away the heat from they let. So they put this political attempt to shift blame for the shutdown. End the shutdown now. The speaker pro tempore the gentleladys time has expired. The gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson i yield to a valuable member of the subcommittee, interior subcommittee, mr. Calvert one and one half minutes. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Calvert today marks the second day of the Government Shutdown, a shutdown that i and my republican colleagues oppose. The shutdown made necessary because our friends on the other side of the capitol refuse to negotiate or compromise. In an effort to find common ground, House Republicans are introducing narrow funding bills for Government Services that are completely noncontroversial. Americans who plan their vacations around National Parks are severely disappointed this week. I was pleased i was able to take constituents from my hometown on a tour of the capitol this morning because all the other d. C. Tours had been canceled. Many americans have been forced to cancel their plans. Yesterday a group of world war ii veterans, you heard about, american heroes, bypassed the barricades outside the world war ii memorial in order to see the memorial built in their honor. Other veterans scheduled to visit the memorial next week were told by the National Park service that they would be arrested, be arrested if they attempted to view their memorial. This is not right. We have a chance to come together on a bipartisan basis to alleviate some of the hardship of this shutdown. The bill before us would fund the operation of the National Park service, the smithsonian institution, Holocaust Museum, National Gallery of art. I urge my colleagues to support the bill. Honor our parks, and mr. President , ter down these barricades. Thank you and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Members are reminded to address all remarks to the chair. The gentleman from idaho reserves. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran im honored to yield 1 1 2 minutes to the democratic whip of the house, mr. Hoyer, from maryland. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hoyer friends say they want to keep the government open. We say we want to keep the government open. My friends over on this side sent a bill over that had 986 billion in funding. We agree. Whats the problem . We need to open all of the government, as the gentleman from virginia said. We have a responsibility to reopen all of our government, not just a little here and a little there. House republicans shut the government down and now theyre worried about having to answer for it. These piecemeal bills are on this floor because republicans are realizing that yes, there are real world consequences to a shutdown. Now they are engaged in a gimmick to fund only those pieces of government that the media or their constituents notice immediately. But by picking winners and losers, republicans are ignoring critical agencies and functions across our nation. We need a full reopening of government in order to provide head start for our children. Our head start children less important than someone visiting our parks . Perhaps those are your priorities. Nutrition assistance to women and families. Law enforcement agents who keep us safe. 70 of the c. I. A. That are on furlough today now, right now. And we need to put people back to work to ensure our food is safe and Small Businesses can get the loans they need. Mr. Speaker may have an additional half second 30 seconds. Mr. Moran i yield 30 seconds. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Hoyer mr. Speaker, put the senates clean compromised bill that gets our government open, the government of the people of the United States, and then lets go to conference on the budget as democrats have long called for to resolve our differences and achieve a longterm solution. A shutdown is not a political strategy. It is a failure for our country. We need a government that is open and that works for all of our people. Let us have a vote on the senates bill to reopen our government at the number you put in your bill that you sent to the senate, on which we will now agree and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from idaho. I would like to yield 2. 5 minutes to the gentlelady from michigan. Thank you. I thank the gentleman for yielding. It seems that every time there is any sort of disagreement with congress, president obama does it anything he can to make it hurt the American People as much as possible. Earlier this year, the white house immediately slammed the door on the American People and they ended the public tors on the white house. Yesterday, the Obama Administration tried to slam the door on the world war ii memorial to the heroes who stormed the beaches of normandy. Just as the japanese and germans found out, the men would not be denied and they pushed back the barriers. Instead of actually leaving the memorial open, the Obama Administration spent extra money to build the barricades to keep our heroes out. We are voting to fix the problem to pass legislation to open up the memorial and open up the stem money and institute. The smithsonian institute. I know democrats say they will vote against the bill because they want an entire clean cr or nothing at all. Yet they are accusing us of being absolutists. Who are the absolutists . Is it those of us who want to open the grand canyon today or Yellowstone Park . Or those of us who want to keep those closed until they get everything that they want . Who are the absolutists . Is it those of us who want to have the statue of libertys light shine bright or those who want to keep the light snuffed out until they keep everything they want . I would hope the senate would join us in allowing those who drove through the barricades put up the german army at normandy to go without having to drive through the barricades that have been put in place by the Obama Administration. I hope my friends on the other de of the aisle clip aside put asidetheir absolutist demands and put the American People at the head of the line. Open up their parks and memorials. Let them celebrate this great nation of ours. I yield back. The gentlelady yields back. The gentleman from virginia. It is my great pleasure to yield a minute and a half on the chairman appropriations committee. The gentlelady from minnesota is recognized for 1. 5. Thank you. Here we go again. It is clear the gop does not have a coherent solution. With this bill, they are oposing certain museums. Funding for our national arcs and certain museumsbut not the bureau of Land Management nor the fish and wildlife, and stopping the spread of asian carp. Families hoping to visit the minnesota daly National Refuge are being met with a closed sign. Nothing in this bill will change that. Im confident that every member here wants our National Parks open, and i applaud the tea party commitment for funding the National Gallery of art, but i have beater idea. But i have a better idea. The house should pass a clean c. R. To fund the entire federal government for all of america. We can do that today with the support of common sense republicans and democrats to end this g. O. P. , this grand old party, shutdown. And with that i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady yields back. The gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson mr. Speaker, as i said yesterday, im now pleased to yield one minute to the gentleman who represents what may be one of the most beautiful places in this country, yosemite National Park, the gentleman from california. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. Mr. Mcclintock i thank the gentleman again for yielding. Last night, mr. Speaker, the house attempted to reopen our National Parks, and 22 democrats defied their Party Leaders and joined with the majority to provide for this vital relief. The little towns around yosemite National Park depend on tourism for their economies. Theyre still reeling from the yosemite rim fire that brought tourism to a near stand still earlier last month. When tourists are needlessly barred from our National Parks, all of the vendors, all of the concessioneers, the Lodge Keepers and shopkeepers and all of the surrounding communities are devastated. They have to lay off employees and often have to close. And unlike government employees, these taxpaying, jobgenerating, private sector working people never get paid back when its all over. Having already agreed to spare our military from the effects of this impasse, why would anybody object to funding other critical functions while we wait for the larger issues to be resolved . I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. The gentleman from idaho reserves. The gentleman from virginia is recognized. Mr. Moran how much time do we have on this side, mr. Speaker . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia has 5 1 2 minutes. The gentleman from idaho has two. Mr. Moran ok. At this point we will yield a minute and a half to the Ranking Member of the Natural Resources committee, mr. Defazio of oregon. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from oregon is recognized for a minute and a half. Mr. Defazio i thank the gentleman. So when the republicans passed their shutdown bill, did they not know it was going to close down the National Parks . Yeah. They thought the American People would rise and applaud their move to shut down everything that relates to the government. Instead, they have gotten a big raspberry, if not an invitation to read between the lines. Theyre a little bit surprised and shocked. Now, what did they leave out of this bill . Yeah, well reopen some National Parks. They left out 155 national forests, 20 national grasslands, seven national monuments, 28 Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers shut down. Thats thousands of kids working hard to get an education, get skills thrown out in the streets. You ever visit one of them there . I cant believe you guys would shut that down. 440 wilderness areas. 560 National Wildlife refuge areas, including blocking out hunters and fishermen . Come on, guys. All b. L. M. Campgrounds. Theres only one reason why this bill is on the floor and thats because their constituents love iconic National Parks and monuments. As republicans just learned much to their chagrin. They cant take the heat from the Government Shutdown theyre responsible for. Whats next . This is whack a mole. How about our Capitol Hill Police that are guarding us every day who have not gotten paid, will they put them on the list . When are you going to take care of them . Put the whole Government Back to work now. [applause] the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Members are reminded that they are to address their remarks to the chair. The gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson mr. Speaker, i am now happy to yield one minute to the gentleman from colorado, mr. Lamborn. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from colorado is recognized for one minute. Mr. Lamborn and i thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, i rise today to speak in favor of reopening our National Parks and museums. This morning i met with some of our great world war ii veterans down to the world war ii memorial at our national mall. One of these veterans, 97yearold Eugene Morgan of west memphis, tennessee, and came with his son, jeff. They were met with obamacades and not allowing them to visit the memorial, their memorial. Its open air. Its normally accessible to the public 24 hours a day all year round with little or no staff. It was built using private money. Veterans have been planning for months to visit this memorial. This may be the last time they come back east to see it. Other americans are trying to visit National Parks all around the country, including in my home state of colorado. But its unacceptable that we are closing parks, some of which dont even need staff. For many of our elderly veterans, this might be their last opportunity. Mr. President , these parks belong to us, take down your barricades and let the people in. I urge my colleagues to support this bill and open our National Parks to the American People. Thank you. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from idaho reserves. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran its my great pleasure to yield one minute to the Ranking Member on the education and work force and the former chair of the Natural Resources committee, mr. Miller from california. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. Mr. Miller i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Miller the chairman of the Committee Says that we should think of the impact before we act, that we should think of the impact of the parks before we vote begins this bill. Did you think about the parks when you voted to cut shut down the government . Did you think about the impact . The gentleman from montana yesterday came to the floor and said its hurting the local economy. The gentleman from california came and said the towns around yosemite. Was he thinking about that when he voted originally to shut down the government . He was prepared to sacrifice the local economy. He was prepared to sacrifice the towns around yosemite when he was on the jihad against american citizens getting access to health care. He was fully prepared to sacrifice the parks and the economy and fire recovery. But you know what you found out in the last 24 hours . That millions of americans went to find health care, to sign up for health care, to get access to health care. And millions of americans decided that youre doing the wrong thing in shutting down their government. So when you were on the jihad the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Mr. Miller shutting down the parks wasnt a problem. Shutting down n. I. H. Wasnt a problem. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Mr. Miller mr. Chairman, they thought it was the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman is out of order. The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Miller oh, ok. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is not recognized. The gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson mr. Speaker, i am disgusted that the gentleman from california would actually use the word jihad on the floor of the house. We should all reject his comments and he should be censored but i wont call for it. I reserve the balance of my time. Im the last speaker. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from idaho reserves. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran id like to yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from ohio on the appropriations committee, mr. Ryan. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from ohio is recognized for 30 seconds. Mr. Ryan i thank the gentleman. We heard in the last hour or two people worried about lab rats at n. I. H. , the zoos closing down. Theyre worried about kids Cancer Patients at n. I. H. , just a few, but if we want to provide health care to all children so that no family has to worry about it, we dont hear anything but a defunding proposition from the other side. You want kids to go to the zoo, but if we want to provide them health care, you guys are m. I. A. Now, youve been called youve been called whacko birds by your own party. So it seems to me there is one zoo open and thats the House Republicans. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from virginia reserves. Mr. Moran i dont reserve because my friend from idaho is reserving until he has his the speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia is recognized. Mr. Moran ill yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from new york, mr. Meeks. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from new york is recognized for 30 seconds. Mr. Meeks you know, Many Americans were born at night, but they werent born last night. You cant fool them. There is an old saying, you can run but you cant hide. Were here for one reason. The members of the Majority Party dont like the Affordable Care act, and thats the whole reason were here. They want to stop the Affordable Care act. It has nothing to do with anything else. All of america is held hostage because they do not like the Affordable Care act. But you can run but you cant hide. You cant hide from the fact that you closed down the government. You cant hide from the fact now suggesting you put a few up that the government is not totally shut down. You can run but you cant hide. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran mr. Speaker, i would like to yield 30 seconds to the distinguished the gentleman from new jersey. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Holt i thank the Ranking Member of the subcommittee. Now why the republicans say are we not eagerly endorsing their plan. Suppose comes in your neighborhood and builds a fence around your fence and wont let you in. Two days later and come to you and say, weve modified your house and let you into one room and they cant understand why we dont embrace that deal. Thats what you are offering here. Of course we should be funding the National Park service. Of course we should be funding the c. D. C. And food inspections. Around your fence and wont let bring up the clean c. R. And we will do it. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran i yield 30 seconds now to the distinguished gentleman from new mexico. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Lujan the House Republicans arent fooling anyone. With hunting season in new mexico, the republican bill does nothing to open federal lands on the b. L. M. Or forest service. They are turning a blind eye to the Small Business owners and guides that depend on hunting season. Hunters call the House Republicans and tell them to vote on the clean senate c. R. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran the gentleman from idaho continue to reserve . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from virginia. Mr. Moran i leave myself the balance of the time, to share with the house the fact that the National Wildlife federation, americas largest Conservation Organization said it best, house members from both sides of the aisle know that the votes are there to pass a clean continuing resolution. Speaker boehner should do the right thing and allow an upordown vote on the bill. The problem is that these votes shouldnt be necessary. If, in fact we were going to open the government and not keep it shut for weeks on end, you wouldnt be doing this. This would all be moot. The reason youre doing this is to have some excuse to continue the shutdown. Thats the problem with these votes. And the other problem is that you voted to shut down the National Parks. You did it last week. You voted to shut down the National Institutes of health. You did it last weekend. You voted to shut down the veteranS Administration and now you want to reopen just them. We voted against shutting down those agencies. We voted against shutting down the government. Give us a clean vote. Lets stop this nonsense. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Members are reminded to address all remarks to the chair. [applause] the gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson how much time do i have remaining the speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Mr. Simpson we are pretty good friends and share a lot to our interior subcommittee, what it remipeds me of when i listen to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, if you Say Something long enough, maybe you will get the American People to believe it. No one over here voted to shut down the government. Every time we passed the bill and sent it to the senate, it was to keep the government operating. Did it include more . Yes, it did. We keep sending them things. Timely what we said is lets go to conference. But no, they wont talk to us so the distinguished minority whip from maryland says, lets do this, pass our idea, do it my way and then well negotiate. Well, thats just backwards. We need to go to conference and settle our differences and get a bill that keeps the government operating. Thats what Everyone Wants to do. It is not a republican shutdown. It is a democratic mywayorthehighway. And thats what the Minority Party has done here. I would encourage my members to support this bill. And i thank the chairman the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. All time for debate has expired. Pursuant to House Resolution 370. Previous question is ordered. The question is on engrossment and third reading of the joint resolution. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. Third reading. The clerk House Resolution making continuing appropriations for the smithsonian institution, National Gallery of art, national Holocaust Museum for 2014. Mr. Van hollen i have a motion to recommit. The speaker pro tempore is the gentleman opposed to the joint resolution . Mr. Van hollen in its current form, yes. The clerk mr. Van hollen of maryland moves to recommit house joint resolution 70 to the committee on appropriations with instructions to report same back to the house with the following amendment. Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the following, that upon passage of this joint resolution by the house of representatives, the joint resolution, House Resolution joint 59 making continuing appropriations for fiscal year mr. Van hollen i move dispensing with the reading. Mr. Simpson i object. The speaker pro tempore the clerk will read. The clerk for fiscal year 2014 and for other purposes as amended by the senate, shall be considered to have been taken from the speakers table and the house was to have recreeded from its amendment. The speaker pro tempore for what purpose does the gentleman from idaho rise . Mr. Simpson i reserve a point of order. The speaker pro tempore the point of order is reserved. The gentleman from maryland is recognized. Mr. Van hollen if we really want to keep the National Institutes of health open, if we really want to keep the National Parks open, if we really want to help our veterans, there is an easy way to do it right now, and thats for the speaker of this house to allow the members of this house to have a vote, to have a vote on the very simple proposition, are we going to keep the entire federal government operating now, because that would pass if in the peoples house, we were given that opportunity. So we have a very simple question, mr. Speaker. Why is the majority afraid of democracy . Why are they afraid of allowing this house to work its will . Because if we had a vote, we could make sure the entire government was kept open. I mentioned earlier that i have the privilege of representing the Congressional District thats home to the National Institutes of health. These are scientists doing important work, they arent republican or democratic scientists, but all smart people. And i have heard from them and they said, are you kidding . We arent going to be fooled by this piecemeal approach. They understand if you want to help n. I. H. , you vote to make sure the government stays open. And they have kids. They want to keep the department of education as well and they want to keep the department of health and Human Services and department of Veterans Affairs open. Why is the speaker not allowing a vote in this house . I think we all know the answer. Heres what the Washington Post said the other day, House Republicans hope to use cruzs plan b. Heres what it says, adopting a Strategy First suggested by senator ted cruz, House Republicans are pushing a new approach that would break up the federal spending bills. Once again, senator cruz is in charge of this house, and you have a reckless minority blocking a vote of the majority, a majority of republicans and democrats. Now earlier today, we learned that the republicans in this house went so far as to change the standing rules of the house. The rules of the house, when you have a situation like this, would allow any one of our members to get up and move and ask the house to vote on the bill that would keep the whole government open. Thats the standing rules. But our republican colleagues changed the rules that says only a republican member. In fact, only the majority leader can bring that up and allow us to vote. Thats not a democracy. This is the same approach we are hearing from our colleagues when it comes to paying our bills on time. They want to fund a little piece of government at one time, they dont want to pay all of our bills. They say lets pay china first. Lets not pay medicare doctors or our troops in the field. Lets not pay all our bills, lets just pay some of our bills. Lets pretend we are going to cherrypick some pieces of government, so the rest can shut down and die on the vine. The standing rules of the house. My constituents are not fooled. My constituents who work at n. I. H. Are not fooled. They dont want to be used as pawns in this game and they understand full well that we could get this done tonight, that we could keep the whole government open now. And all that needs to happen is the speaker to let us vote. If the speaker and republican colleagues want to vote to keep the entire government shut down, go for it. Do it in the light of day. Let the American People see that thats what you want to do. But for goodness sakes, explain to the American People why you wont allow a vote to keep the government open. Thats all were asking for. Thats all were asking for, republicans and democrats come together and have a vote. The gentleman mentioned that, well, the house had voted on this, but they also indicated that they added these attachments like shutting down Affordable Care for all americans. Lets have a clean, simple vote, just like we should also have a vote to pay our bills on time, for good goodness sakes. We have tried to have negotiation on the budget. At every turn we have been blocked. The speaker didnt apoint negotiators and in the senate we were blocked. They ran out the clock, ran the country up against the wall and said, you know what . We want it our way or the highway. We want you to shut down the Affordable Care act or were going to shut down government. We want you to pay china first and not pay our troops. Guess what . We are going to collapse the economy. Mr. Speaker, i just ask that we vote yes to keep the government funded now. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from idaho. Mr. Simpson i insist on my point of order. I make a point of order against the motion to recommit. This motion is not germane and as such is a violation of rule 16, no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under the color of amendment. This motion deals with the proposition unrelated to the matter addressed by the joint resolution and brings in a matter under the jurisdiction of the committee on rules, which fails the committee of jurisdiction test and therefore, is a violation of rule 16, clause 7, and i ask for a ruling from the chair. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from maryland . Mr. Van hollen im trying to understand why a motion to keep the entire government is not in order on this measure. Why would that simple proposition to why would the rules have been written in a way that a simple motion to keep the entire government funded now would not be in order in the peoples house . Why would it be written in a way that this house cannot work its will in keeping the government open. [applause] this is the peoples house. Why would a rule be written in a way that we cannot have a vote to keep the entire government open now, tonight . We apparently have a rule in this house that says we are shutting down democracy tonight. We cant have the opportunity to have a vote to keep the government open. Thats whats happening here. Lets not play any games, my colleagues. You know if we had a vote tonight, it would pass. The speaker pro tempore the chair is prepared to rule. The chair has heard argument. Mr. Van hollen i would like to be further heard. As i understand the speaker pro tempore the gentleman may proceed. Mr. Van hollen as i understand what the ruling was, it was because this measure before the house is limited to one little tiny sliver of the government that a motion to keep the entire government open is not in order, is that correct . Is that correct the speaker pro tempore the chair is hearing argument on the point of order thrfment has been no ruling. Mr. Van hollen im sorry . The speaker pro tempore there has been no ruling. Do you have argument to be made on the point of order . Mr. Van hollen yes. My argument is that our government is a whole and the question is how can you say that it would be totally irrelevant to the purpose of funding Government Operations to offer a motion that would keep all the Government Operations opening now . How can that be . The speaker pro tempore the chair is prepared to rule. Mr. Van hollen im trying to understand how it is in this house there was a rule that was written that would deny the majority the opportunity to vote. The speaker pro tempore this is not the proper time to answer questions. The chair is prepared to rule. The gentleman from new jersey is recognized. Mr. Andrews mr. Speaker, my understanding of the principles of germaneness is that the underlying subject matter of the bill has to be the subject matter of the motion to recommit. We have heard repeatedly from the authors of this bill that they believe it is necessary to fund what they view as vitaly important services. We have a difference of opinion. We think everything in the budget is vital for the United States of america and should be funded. Our concept of whats vital is different than theirs. But if the germane issue is funding whats vital, then why isnt the motion to recommit germane . The speaker pro tempore the gentleman makes a point of order that instructions proposed in the motion to recommit are not germane. The joint resolution extends a certain class of funding within a portion of fiscal year 2014, namely funds for the operation of the National Park service, the smithsonian and National Gallery of art and the national holocaust. The instructions propose an order of business in the house relating to funding for all agencies and departments subject to the annual appropriations process through remainder of the fiscal year. Among the fundamental principles is the amendment must confine itself to matters that fall within the jurisdiction of the committee with the jurisdiction over the joint resolution. The joint resolution addresses the appropriation of certain funds. The subject matter falls within the legislative jurisdiction and accordingly the house joint resolution 70 refers to that question committee. The instructions contained in the motion to recommit proposed an order of business for the house. That subject matter falls within the legislative jurisdiction of the committee on rules. For example, the chair would note the referral of House Resolution 424 of the 106th congress, a measure that contained a similar order of business to the committee on rules. By addressing a matter within the jurisdiction of a committee not represented in the joint resolution, the instructions proposed to an amendment that is not germane, the point of order is sustained. I move to delay the appeal on the table. The motion is on the motion on the table. Those in favor those opposed the motion is it. Not adopted.
