                           STOP THE SEQUESTER

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. America is facing some very serious problems, and 
they're looking to Congress for a solution.
  What have we done this week since the sequester is coming on Friday? 
We had one vote yesterday, and that was to rename a flight center, and 
we have one vote today. And these are good votes, but just two votes. 
Friday is looming, and America wants us to answer the sequester.
  We heard the Speaker say that they have put two bills before the 
floor, but they have not been acceptable. We need to compromise.
  We also heard the Speaker say recently to the Senate to get going and 
get moving, and I would suggest that the House should do the same 
thing. We need to reach out and compromise, find the solution that can 
pass this House, pass the Senate, and become law.
