                    UNFINISHED LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, with fewer than 7 legislative days left in 
the year, the window to address the staggering list of unfinished 
business before the House is rapidly closing: no farm bill, no long-
term budget, no tax reform, no ENDA, no comprehensive immigration 
package, no replacement for the sequester. In fact, the GOP has 
continuously failed to govern and create real solutions to the pressing 
issues facing this country.
  Over the past 11 months, Republicans have undermined the important 
economic progress that we have made, disproportionately harming low-
income women and children and keeping 11 million undocumented 
immigrants in the shadows. They have gutted nutritional programs, voted 
to repeal health care reform 43 times, and shut down the government in 
a fit of pique, putting millions at economic risk.
  This holiday season, as Americans enjoy exchanging gifts with family 
and friends, I am afraid all they are going to find from House 
Republicans is a lump of coal.
