                          DEBT CEILING CRISIS

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Madam Speaker, do you see what I see?
  No Republicans.
  They are not here to do their job, so America's jobs are at risk.
  Madam Speaker, 8.3 million American jobs can be lost because 
Republicans want to hold us hostage and force a default.
  Madam Speaker, 30,000 Nevadans who are struggling right now to keep 
their jobs, to pay their rent, to afford their mortgage, will see the 
effects if Republicans are successful in causing a default on America; 
60,000 veterans in my district could lose their health benefits; 73,000 
families and children in Nevada could lose SNAP food benefits; 253,000 
kicked off health insurance on Medicaid; and 1,300 preschool and 
childcare slots, which are vital.
  Madam Speaker, I would have time if the Speaker of this House would 
call us back into session. I will continue to do my job to speak on 
behalf of my constituents who sent me here to work on their behalf.
  Madam Speaker, call this House back to session. Let's do our job.
