          FURTHER CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS, FISCAL YEAR 2011

  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to the rule, I call up the joint 
resolution (H.J. Res. 105) making further continuing appropriations for 
fiscal year 2011, and for other purposes, and ask for its immediate 
consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to House Resolution 1776, the joint 
resolution is considered read.
  The text of the joint resolution is as follows:

                             H.J. Res. 105

       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled, That the 
     Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 111-242) is 
     further amended by striking the date specified in section 
     106(3) and inserting ``December 21, 2010''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Obey) and 
the gentleman from California (Mr. Lewis) each will control 30 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Wisconsin.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, this resolution is very simple. The continuing 
resolution under which we are now operating expires at midnight on 
Saturday. This simply extends that underlying resolution to midnight 
Tuesday.
  I urge support.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I do not intend to use any of 
my time to speak, except to express my appreciation for the sentiments 
of the gentleman from Washington about our mailing our votes across the 
country.

  In the meantime, I do not intend to call for a vote on the CR. We are 
going to have to vote on a couple of suspensions, I gather.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. OBEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the previous question 
is ordered.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the joint 
resolution.
  The joint resolution was ordered to be engrossed and read a third 
time, was read the third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider 
was laid on the table.
