                          SILENCE OF INACTION

  (Mr. LEVIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, we Democrats are here to act. The Republicans 
leave here with stony silence: the silence of inaction on Zika; the 
silence of inaction on the needs of Flint; the silence of inaction on 
the no fly, no buy and background checks.
  Years ago there was reference to an American silent majority. Today 
it is the Republican congressional majority that is silent. What the 
vast majority of Americans want is action on Zika, action on Flint, and 
action on gun violence.
