If the Speaker wants some suggestions as things we ought to focus on
this week, I know Democrats in this Chamber have a few. I can give you
an example. Democrats think we should be debating a funding bill to avert the
coming shutdown on December 8, when the temporary spending bill
expires. Democrats want to debate and pass the Dream Act, ending the turmoil
this President has caused by upending the lives of 800,000 young
immigrant DREAMers and their families. Democrats want to extend the Children's Health Insurance Program,
known as CHIP, and community health centers, whose authorization
expired 2 months ago. Democrats think we ought to debate flood insurance reauthorization,
which expires on December 8.
