            CALLING ON SENATE TO PASS CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Mr. LANCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LANCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the House-passed 
continuing resolution and I call for its passage in the United States 
Senate.
  The House-passed resolution ensures that our government remains open 
and operational; it ensures that our military personnel will continue 
to receive protection in the field and pay at home; and it guarantees 
continued care for our veterans. It protects individuals, families, and 
small businesses from the harmful effects of ObamaCare; and it holds 
the line on spending--the most critical fiscal issue currently facing 
Washington and the American people.
  The United States Senate should join the House and pass this fiscally 
responsible measure and avert a government shutdown.
