I thank my very good friend and our leader from California for yielding me the time. Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this bill. So this is the last day we are in session until after the elections. But rather than consider substantive legislation todayor really at any point in this sessionthat would have extended longterm unemployment benefits. or simplify the Tax Code. or reform our immigration system. or extend expiring tax provisions. or lower foreign trade barriers with new trade authority. or invest in our Nations deteriorating public infrastructure. we are going home. Mr. Speaker. the list goes on and on of what we could and should be doing.
