                                INACTION

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission

to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, 7 weeks--52 days. I 
rise today to express my disappointment with our Republican colleagues 
for shutting down the Congress for the summer.
  After the tragedies in Orlando and Dallas, are you telling me that we 
can't get together, that we cannot find a compromise on gun violence 
and gun control? The American people believe we can. They want it done.
  Mr. Speaker, is there no action with respect to Flint, Michigan? So 
much of our infrastructure needs to be redone in so many cities. This 
is just the beginning of what we will see.
  We have to address these national crises because working families all 
over the country will go to work tomorrow, and they will go to work on 
Saturday, and they will go to work on Sunday, and they will go to work 
for the next 7 weeks. They expect us to find solutions.
  Mr. Speaker, let's get to work.
