We need a new attitude on the part of this Congress. that is all we need. I would urge opposition to this rule. and I would urge opposition to the bill itself so long as it contains these egregious provisions. If my colleagues vote for this proposal. they will be slowing down the delivery of needed relief to those areas of the country who have disasters. they will be slowing down the assurance that we need to get to those folks who we are trying to help by restoring Federal support for needy immigrants for the 1month bridge that is needed until the new budget agreement takes care of the problem. So I would urge Members who are Interested In bipartisan cooperation to vote against this rule. vote against this bill. have the Committee on Rules go back up and bring us a rule that Is truly bipartisan. not one designed to create further confrontation with the White House.
