 BORDER SECURITY AND ENFORCEMENT CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS RESOLUTION, 
                                  2014

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 1(c) of rule XIX, further 
consideration of House Joint Resolution 79 will now be resumed.
  The Clerk read the title of the joint resolution.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the 
desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the joint 
resolution?
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. I am opposed.
  The SPEAKER. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:
       Ms. Shea-Porter moves to recommit the joint resolution H.J. 
     Res. 79 to the Committee on Appropriations with instructions 
     to report the same back to the House forthwith with the 
     following amendment:
       Strike all after the resolving clause and insert the 
     following:

     That upon passage of this joint resolution by the House of 
     Representatives, the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 59) making 
     continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2014, and for other 
     purposes, as amended by the Senate on September 27, 2013, 
     shall be considered to have been taken from the Speaker's 
     table and the House shall be considered to have (1) receded 
     from its amendment; and (2) concurred in the Senate 
     amendment.

  Ms. SHEA-PORTER (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous 
consent to dispense with the reading.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from New Hampshire?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve a point of order on the 
gentlewoman's motion.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. A point of order is reserved.
  Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from New Hampshire is 
recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer a motion to 
recommit to end this harmful and unnecessary government shutdown. I do 
this by offering a motion that would bring to the floor the continuing 
resolution that has already passed in the Senate and awaits 
consideration in the House.
  I know that not everyone is thrilled with this level of funding. Many 
of us in the Democratic Caucus think it cuts too deeply into important 
investments, while many of our Republican colleagues feel it doesn't 
cut enough. The Senate bill is a compromise, but it is a compromise 
that is acceptable to the majority of us in order to continue the vital 
functioning of the government that all Americans pay for and that all 
Americans deserve.
  Unfortunately, a small faction of the majority party continues to 
hold the entire government hostage while it tries to obstruct the 
Affordable Care Act. I understand they disagree with the Senate and the 
President on certain issues, but shutting the government down to try 
and achieve an ideological goal that could not be achieved through the 
legislative process, through the Supreme Court, or through the ballot 
box is beneath the dignity of this body. That is why I urge my 
colleagues to support my motion and allow us to get the government up 
and

[[Page H6472]]

running again. Then, and only then, can we resume debate and discussion 
on other critical issues like creating jobs, supporting our veterans, 
and, yes, improving the Affordable Care Act.
  As of today, it has been 10 days since the government shutdown. That 
is 10 days where we haven't had studies going forward at the National 
Institutes of Health, 10 days where the Small Business Administration 
hasn't been lending money to entrepreneurs and small businesses, and 10 
days where families haven't had access to the critical services to 
protect those who need it most.
  In my own district, the Small Business Administration normally gives 
out an average of $237,000 in loans each and every day. That is a total 
of $2.37 million in loans that haven't been made to the small 
businesses of New Hampshire's First District.
  The majority has failed my State and others. All the American people 
are asking for is for us to open the government. They would be happy 
with a clean bill. We could put people back to work with a clean bill. 
We could continue lending money to small businesses with a clean bill. 
We could fund cancer research with a clean bill.
  But instead of putting an end to the government shutdown by passing 
the funding bill that the Senate has already agreed to, Republican 
leaders in the House are offering bills to open individual agencies and 
programs instead of the entire government. Make no mistake, that is not 
an honest attempt to open the government. These cherry-picked funding 
bills serve only to give political cover to the very people who caused 
the government shutdown.
  As former Republican Presidential candidate and Senator Bob Dole 
said, along with my dear colleague, John Dingell:

       Piecemeal or partial spending plans do not adequately 
     ensure that our veterans--and, indeed, all Americans--have 
     access to the system of self-government established to serve 
     and protect them.

  Former Republican Senator Judd Greg, who was chairman of the Senate 
Budget Committee, said:

       A small group of Republican legislators led by the junior 
     Senator from Texas decided to take as hostages government 
     operations and the raising of the debt ceiling. The price of 
     release was to be the death of ObamaCare. This approach never 
     had a snowball's chance in Texas of succeeding.

  However, here we are still shut down 10 days after the start of the 
new fiscal year; and, instead of voting on legislation that if brought 
to the floor would pass and open the government, what are we voting on? 
The same little, tiny piecemeal appropriations designed for messaging 
and attack ads that we have been voting on all week. It is Washington 
politics at its worst.
  It has been 10 days of this sort of chicanery, and it is time to give 
it up. Let's stop the gamesmanship; turn the lights back on; reopen the 
government; and address the actual critical problems addressing the 
country.
  We need more jobs. We need to find ways to grow the economy, make 
education more affordable, and invest in our decaying infrastructure. 
All of these are problems that our constituents sent us here to deal 
with, and they are what they expect us to work on.
  That is probably why, yesterday, when Gallup released polling on what 
Americans believe is the most important problem facing our country, it 
should come as no surprise to find that, for the first time in history, 
they picked dysfunctional government. It has always been either the 
economy, unemployment, or jobs that were the most pressing problems. In 
yesterday's poll, though, it was us. I can't say that I am surprised, 
because I agree with them. We need to fix this, and that starts by 
doing the basics like funding the government and raising the debt 
ceiling.
  I will end with one final quote from my former Republican colleague, 
Senator Gregg. He said:

       People who have no interest in governing cannot be allowed 
     to be the dominant voices in a major party.

  I thank you for your support, and I hope you will support this 
critical motion.
  I yield back the balance of my time.


                             Point of Order

  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I make a point of order that the 
instructions contained in the motion violate clause 7 of rule XVI, 
which requires that the amendment be germane to the bill under 
consideration.
  As I am sure you are aware, the Chair has ruled on October 2, 3, 4, 
7, 8, and 9 of 2013, the instructions contain a special order of 
business within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Rules, and 
therefore, the amendment is not germane to the underlying bill.
  Mr. Speaker, I insist on my point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentlewoman from New Hampshire wish 
to be heard on the point of order?
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I wish to be heard on the point of 
order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from New Hampshire is 
recognized on the point of order.
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, doesn't the bill before us set up a 
commission to examine deficit reduction?
  My motion to recommit would open up the entire Federal Government so 
that our taxpayers can receive the benefits they have already paid for, 
to recommit deals with government expenditures. And right now we are 
running a deficit. So isn't the amount the government is spending a 
relevant topic to the deficit reduction?
  We have voted to pay workers furloughed during a shutdown. I 
supported that bill. But what sense does it make to have workers paid 
to sit at home and not be able to do their jobs? What kind of a strange 
House is this that would force this situation on our Federal workers?
  Mr. Speaker, if you rule this motion out of order, does this not mean 
that we will not have a chance to keep the entire Federal Government 
open today? Can the Chair please explain why we can't keep the entire 
Federal Government open today?

                              {time}  1345

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair is prepared to rule.
  The gentleman from Texas makes a point of order that the instructions 
proposed in the motion to recommit offered by the gentlewoman from New 
Hampshire are not germane.
  The joint resolution extends funding relating to the Department of 
Homeland Security. The instructions in the motion propose an order of 
business of the House.
  As the Chair most recently ruled on October 9, 2013, a motion to 
recommit proposing an order of business of the House is not germane to 
a measure providing for the appropriation of funds because such motion 
addresses a matter within the jurisdiction of a committee not 
represented in the underlying measure.
  Therefore, the instructions propose a non-germane amendment. The 
point of order is sustained.
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I appeal the ruling of the Chair.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is, Shall the decision of the 
Chair stand as the judgment of the House?
  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I move to lay the appeal on the table.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15-
minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by a 5-minute vote 
on passage of the joint resolution, if arising without further 
proceedings in recommital.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 226, 
nays 196, not voting 9, as follows:
