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:
