                 SUPPORTING THE PROBLEM SOLVERS CAUCUS

  (Mr. NICKEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NICKEL. Mr. Speaker, we need to raise the debt ceiling and we 
need to do it soon. I rise today in support of the bipartisan debt 
ceiling framework unveiled today by the Problem Solvers Caucus.
  In such a closely divided Congress, the only real solutions are 
bipartisan solutions that can get 218 votes in the House, 60 votes in 
the Senate, and on to the President's desk.
  This framework proposes reasonable and responsible steps to ensure 
that we won't default on our debt while also ensuring that Congress 
takes short-term and long-term steps to address spending and balance 
the budget.
  I came to Washington to get things done, and I am firmly committed to 
working with the Problem Solvers Caucus and my colleagues across the 
aisle to find solutions for the most pressing issues facing our Nation.
  I am proud to support this bipartisan framework, and I urge my 
colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support it.
