Depend on. The additional time, just under month, will allow congressional leadership of the white house to come to a final budget agreement with legislation including a limited number of technical changes to ensure good governance. It also includes language to continue the Childrens Health Insurance Program through fiscal year 2023. To help Sick Children from lowincome families get better and to ensure they have healthy and happy futures. Additionally this proposal extends several health carerelated tax provisions. Mr. Chairman, a continuing resolution is not the preferred way to reduce to conduct the nations fiscal business but at this point it is absolutely necessary to avoid a costly, destabilizing Government Shutdown. It is my hope that this will be the last continuing resolution the leadership of the house and senate and white house will quickly come to an agreement on top line spending levels and then we can complete our appropriations work for fiscal year 2018 in short order.

Many things that are important for the health of the American People. Not only the Community Health centers, which expire in a few weeks, not only the medicare extenders, which includes the therapy caps for seniors in medicare, the Home Visiting program for seniors, the special Diabetes Program, the Teaching Health sent, the National Health centers, the National Health service corps, all of these things. Also the safety net hospitals. As of january 1, the dish or safety net programs for all these hospitals around the country that have to take care of so many poor people, that funding has expired and theyve actually had to cut the funding. So how do you stand up here and say to me and the American People that somehow you care about these things, you want to deal with these things . You are not dealing with these things. What are you doing here again . Once again youre bringing a bill to the floor that has all kinds of repeal of taxes. I dont even want to get into the deal. These are the

Ladies and gentlemen, i call this joint hearing of the readiness and cpower and Projection Forces subcommittees of the House Arms Services committee to order. First, i would like to honor the 17 sailors who were lost in the uss fitzgerald sailors douglas, noe hernandez, and dakota rigsby, Carlos Victor subayung and the two uss john mccain sailors, kevin bushel, dustin doyen, timothy drake, charles finley, john hogeland, Abraham Lopez and kenneth smith, logan palmer and each one of them is so special to every person here. Over the course of the past six months our subcommittees have met with Navy Leadership to understand the causal factors that have led to gruesome and tragic incidents involving ships resulting in the death of 17 sailors.

Because of that, the irs has always granted what is commonly referred to as the salt deduction or state and local , as theyich, of course said back in 1913, would otherwise result in double taxation. So the burden becomes double in terms of the fact that we are both sending more to the federal government then we are getting the connecticut General Assembly and governor malloy would like to see the 8 billio
