                     CONGRESS HAS A CHOICE TO MAKE

  (Mr. ROY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, we have a choice to make this week. We have a 
choice to make whether we are going to fund the United States 
Government and to fund the executive branch when that executive branch 
is carrying out often unlawful, unconstitutional, but certainly, 
unhelpful and foolish mandates that are crushing small businesses and 
causing people to lose their jobs, forcing our members of the military 
to lose their ability to serve, forcing members of the Border Patrol, 
DEA, and hospitals across this country to lose workers because of these 
mandates.
  Why would anybody in this Chamber vote to fund a government that is 
going to mandate that people have to lose their jobs through these 
unlawful orders?
  And the second thing we have got to decide is whether we are going to 
vote for a National Defense Authorization Act that, for the first time 
in history, will add women, 18-year-old girls, to the draft, without so 
much as a debate in this Chamber.
  I think we have an easy call, but we have got to make that call this 
week and decide what we are going to do.
