WE REMAIN DETERMINED
(Ms. Molinari asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Ms. MOLINARI. Mr. Speaker, there have been a lot of facts that have
been ignored in this recent debate.
Fact No. 1, there was, up until this point in time, a lot of work
that was going on, no, not on the House floor but in committee
meetings.
Five subcommittees of Appropriations were attempting to meet today;
the Economic and Educational Subcommittee was meeting on welfare
reform; National Security, the Resources Committee. Rules is meeting to
deliver the unfunded mandates bill to the floor. Small Business and
Ways and Means. Those are important motions that are going on outside
the House floor that have been delayed.
Fact No. 2, the people who ruled the so-called gag order was the
Parliamentarian that was hired by the minority party, not by the
Republicans.
And, fact No. 3, we, the Republican Party, admit our work today has
been delayed, but the fact is we remain determined.
