               DEMOCRATS WORKING HARD IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, I had not intended 
to speak this afternoon either. Actually, I am late going to a military 
personnel subcommittee hearing where we are going to take a look at the 
changes that are going to happen to the Reserve Montgomery GI bill. It 
is running a little late because we had votes, but we are working here. 
I don't know where the other side is. They are in the minority now, and 
maybe they are going home; but we have a lot of things to get done for 
the American people.
  When I finish with the military subcommittee, I will be going to the 
full Homeland Security Committee where we are going to receive a 
briefing on the SpyNet program. On this immigration issue that 
everybody in America thinks is so important, this is how we protect the 
borders and how we are using assets there, and we are going to get a 
briefing on that. That should include Republicans. I don't know if they 
will show up for that meeting, but they should.
  After that, Madam Speaker, I have a subcommittee on oversight and 
investigations with respect to the House Committee on Armed Services 
where I also serve. And then I will meet with constituents, credit 
unions, and people who are in town. So we on this side of the aisle are 
working very hard to keep the work going on here in Washington, D.C.
