    THANKING AMERICANS FOR SPEAKING AGAINST CONGRESSIONAL PAY RAISES

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank the American people 
for sending a message to this Congress that they do not want the pay 
raises for Members of Congress to go through. However, their work is 
not done, and they need to keep it up.
  They have successfully delayed the Legislative Branch appropriations 
bill from being considered as part of this omnibus bill that is going 
to be considered tomorrow, but it has only been delayed. It hasn't been 
removed just yet, so stay on the phones, stay on the emails, and stay 
on Facebook.
  Get in contact with Members of Congress to let them know that their 
constituents don't think that they deserve a pay raise. They have more 
work to do. There is much to be done, in terms of addressing the crisis 
at the border and continuing in the economic success that we have. 
Instead, we have many committees that are holding officials in contempt 
of Congress.
  We have more to do, so I ask the American people to keep up the great 
work.
