                           Government Funding

  Mr. President, as you heard from the Senator from Oklahoma, we are 
just 10 days away from a complete government shutdown unless we reach 
some sort of agreement on spending bills. We thought we had taken care 
of this last August when Democrats and Republican Senators and House 
Members agreed to a top line of spending, but unfortunately, after the 
August recess, our Democratic colleagues walked that back and led us 
now up to the precipice of, yes, another government shutdown.
