             REGARDING THE REPUBLICAN CONTINUING RESOLUTION

  (Mr. DEUTCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, this week my Republican colleagues offered 
us a glimpse into their vision for America. It is a country where 
millions of women are turned away from basic health care, where the 
wealthy can buy access to our courts, and the poor are denied justice, 
where we abandon our obligation to pass on a cleaner, safer world to 
the next generation, where the voices of a thousand workers' cries for 
better treatment fall on a few pairs of deaf ears, where we deny 
children the arts education that has helped inspire the greatest 
culture on Earth.
  This is not the America envisioned by the constituents I serve, among 
them thousands of America's Greatest Generation who fought during World 
War II and built an extraordinary Nation after the Great Depression. 
This continuing resolution is, quite simply, a disgrace to their vision 
and to their sacrifice. We can do better. We must do better.
