    The House Works Best When the House is Allowed to Work Its Will

  Mr. BOEHNER. My colleagues, I think a lot of you know that I have 
always believed that the House works best when the House is allowed to 
work its will.
  I think all of you know that we are embarking on a more open process 
in this Congress, and it will start today with the consideration of 
this continuing resolution.
  I take to the well to suggest to the Members that we want all Members 
to be able to participate in the debate here in the House. We also want 
to keep our commitment to the Members to meet the schedule that we have 
outlined for everyone. That means, as we go through the next couple of 
days, I am going to ask Members on both sides of the aisle to try to 
bring your amendments together, to try to respect the amount of time 
that is being taken so that all Members have an opportunity to be heard 
and to participate in the debate.
  We have never had an open process for a continuing resolution in our 
history; so we are into some uncharted waters. I am ready to expect 
whatever. But I do believe that this process is important for all the 
Members, and I want this week for all of us to get started down this 
road working together so that, as we get into the weeks and months 
ahead, we can show the American people that the House can work 
together, the House can work its will. And, at the end of the day, I 
think the American people will be better served by our service.

  So the resolution was agreed to.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
  Mr. LANDRY. Mr. Speaker, earlier today I was unavoidably detained 
during rollcall vote No. 39, the vote on H. Res. 92, providing for 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 1) making appropriations for the 
Department of Defense and the other departments and agencies of the 
Government for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other 
purposes, and waiving a requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII with 
respect to consideration of certain resolutions reported from the 
Committee on Rules. Had I been present for this vote, I would have 
voted ``aye.''
