The speaker pro tempore can we possibly remove discussion from the floor . The gentleman is recognized for five minutes. Mr. Womack thank you, mr. Speaker. Here we are in the peoples with the ed responsibility of taking taxpayers money and making sure its spent properly with , and yet, we ht are about to vote on a bill that is set to top line numbers that has not been subject to debate in this chamber. Lets revisit how we got here. Our friends on the other side of the aisle said they were going to do a budget, and they didnt do a budget. They couldnt produce the votes. So then, they decided, mr. Speaker, they were going to do a caps agreement, and they proposed a caps agreement and only because of a selfexecuting rule did they deem the numbers to which the appropriators should write the bills. No debate. None at all. Just pull the numbers out of the air, put them in a selfexecuting rule, and thats what well write to. Mr. Speaker, this bill is going nowhere. It is a waste of time for the house of representatives to have been spending on a bill thats absolutely going nowhere. And my motion sends this bill back to the committee, where hopefully we can come to some form of agreement on a caps number. Now, weve got a lot to worry about. At the end of this year, if we dont have agreement, we are going to trigger a sequester that nobody wants. It would be devastating to our country. But instead of spending our time, mr. Speaker, on working out an agreement among ourselves that the people expect us to do its our job here we are spending our time, late night votes on amendments and then finally to move a bill across the floor of he house that is going nowhere. We are all frustrated by it. Last year, mr. Speaker, i spent the better part of a year with a number of my colleagues on this side and that side and some from the senate on a process reform package, and we got close to the finish line. We didnt make all the changes that everybody wanted. We didnt have the votes for that. And remember, the threshold for passage was five republicans and five democrats out of 16 people. Thats a pretty high threshold in this chamber, and we got our ive republicans to agree and i got to commend guys like john yarmuth and derek kilmer on the other side because they were yes. They recognized how important changing this process was to this institution. But four democrats voted present. Present. On a package that would fundamentally change for the better the budget and appropriations process that we use in the house of representatives, in the peoples house. The people deserve better, mr. Speaker. So it is my intent to refe
