                   THE SENATE MUST ACT ON LEGISLATION

  (Mr. GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the For 
the People Agenda generated by this House, and I am antithetical to the 
Senate's provision, which is a for-the-President agenda.
  We, the Members of the House, have passed legislation for gun safety. 
The President has merely talked about it.
  We have passed legislation to help with personal and financial 
security for women. The President says ugly things about women.
  We pass legislation that will help the Dreamers. The President is 
about ending the dream.
  We have passed legislation helping those who are being discriminated 
against in the LGBTQ community. The President ignores this community.
  We passed legislation to help with election and democracy security. 
The President wants to do all that he can to help Putin and those in 
Russia with their security, ignoring ours.
  In our House we have, for the people, passed a bill to increase the 
minimum wage. The President seems to be antithetical to it. If we have 
our For the People Agenda and we pass these bills and send them to the 
Senate, the least that the Senate can do is generate their own version 
so that these bills may go to a conference committee.

  They don't have to have a for-the-President agenda. I am for the 
people. The Senate is for the President.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
