                          VOTE ON THE CLEAN CR

  (Ms. HANABUSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Speaker, you win. You shut down the Federal 
Government. But now what? Do you know why you did it? You started with 
defunding ObamaCare. Then it went to delaying funding for a year and 
conscience clause added in, and then you went to repealing the medical 
device tax, and then it went to delaying the individual mandate for a 
year and making sure government does not contribute to our staffs' 
medical insurance. By the way, you did that twice. Now there's no 
mention of ObamaCare and its cherry-picking what parts of government 
will open.
  I ask you again, why did you do this? I am confused, Mr. Speaker. But 
what about the people whose lives you have been playing with? You can't 
tell them why you're doing this.
  End this brinksmanship and show leadership. Allow the House to vote 
on the clean CR.
