                  FINISHING APPROPRIATIONS LEGISLATION

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss the importance of 
the House taking up the remaining appropriations legislation as soon as 
we get back in the new year.
  The past 12 months have certainly been trying, but our Conference has 
shown that we can pass strong conservative policy that puts America 
first.
  To my colleagues, enjoy your time with your family. Come January, 
let's be prepared to finish what the American people expect us to do, 
and that is to get these remaining appropriations bills across the 
finish line.
