                         CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Ms. HANABUSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Speaker, we are here to speak about the CR, this 
continuing resolution, which is going to set forth the budget for the 
rest of this fiscal year. Yes, it is true we all have a responsibility 
for the budget, but the bottom line for each and every one of us is how 
does this budget affect us, how does it affect the people that we 
represent? Let's look at what the CR does.
  I think we all know that in the creation of jobs we must invest in 
America. We must invest in each and every one of you. When you look at 
a CR that basically eliminates and puts a chilling effect on all of the 
major investments that we need, we know that's not the right way to go. 
But more importantly than that, this is a CR that's going to cut, cut 
the future, cut those students, 200,000 of them, who rely on Head 
Start. We all know that we've got to invest in them now. It's also 
going to cut those middle class kids who are going to college on Pell 
grants $800 a piece.
  So when we hear about the budget generally, let's not forget, it's 
the people. It's the kids that matter.
