                          DEBT CEILING CRISIS

  (Mr. GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, and still I rise; and I rise today 
with a very simple message. The debt ceiling has outlived its 
usefulness. It is time to eliminate the debt ceiling.
  We have to do so because these issues that we are dealing with 
currently are only the genesis. The revelations will lead us to other 
issues involving the social agenda. Budgetary items will not be the 
only items on this extortion agenda.
  It is time to end the debt ceiling and let us move forward and 
negotiate as we appropriately should and have done lo these many years.
