                      OPPOSE CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, I rise today in objection to the so-called 
continuing resolution the Democrat leadership is going to bring up 
tomorrow. This is by no means a typical continuing resolution. A 
continuing resolution basically requires only a couple of lines saying 
that the current appropriations are continuing for a set period of 
time.

  This CR has not been scrutinized through the committee process before 
being brought to the House floor for a vote. This is a $463 omnibus 
spending bill without any specific guidelines or accountability 
measures. American taxpayers deserve to know how their hard-earned 
dollars are being spent.
  Madam Speaker, this is not a continuing resolution. A typical 1- or 
2-page bill that continues spending at its previous level. Again, it is 
an omnibus spending bill well over 100 pages long, full of excessive 
unregulated spending, just another broken promise by the Democrat 
leadership that shows their true colors.
