                          GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

  (Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to my 
friends on the other side of the aisle, this shutdown talk has evolved 
to ridiculousness.
  To quote Dr. Seuss:

       When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their 
     paddles
       And the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating 
     noodles . . .
       They call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle 
     bottle paddle battle.

  Mr. Speaker, it's time to work together and stop these beetles. I 
mean, stop the battle.
