         FURTHER ADDITIONAL CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2021

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the 
joint resolution (H.J. Res. 107) making further continuing 
appropriations for fiscal year 2021, and for other purposes.
  The Clerk read the title of the joint resolution.
  The text of the joint resolution is as follows:

                             H.J. Res. 107

       Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
     United States of America in Congress assembled,
     That the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021 (division A of 
     Public Law 116-159) is further amended by striking the date 
     specified in section 106(3) and inserting ``December 20, 
     2020''.
       This joint resolution may be cited as the ``Further 
     Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
New York (Mrs. Lowey) and the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Diaz-Balart) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from New York.


                             General Leave

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and 
include extraneous material on H.J. Res. 107, currently under 
consideration.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from New York?
  There was no objection.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, families and small businesses desperately need support 
as they continue to reel from the coronavirus pandemic. As we speak, 
bipartisan negotiations are ongoing to deliver emergency relief 
alongside an omnibus comprising fiscal year 2021 appropriations bills.
  To keep government open while negotiations conclude, the legislation 
before us extends funding at current levels through Sunday.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the 
ongoing talks by adopting this clean continuing resolution.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today also in support of this short-term 
continuing resolution. There have been negotiations taking place day 
and night for weeks now to reach an agreement on a full-year 
appropriations bill and, very importantly, a coronavirus relief bill.
  The negotiations are moving forward. We are very close to a final 
package, but there is a little bit more time required to get this 
legislation finalized and drafted. Passing this CR is simply a very 
short-term, stopgap measure to allow those negotiations to finalize.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of 
this, again, very short-term resolution, and I yield back the balance 
of my time.
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I urge its support, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Lowey) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the joint resolution, H.J. Res. 107.
  The question was taken.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds 
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 
965, the yeas and nays are ordered.
  The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 320, 
nays 60, not voting 49, as follows:

                             [Roll No. 247]

                               YEAS--320
