        CONGRESS SHOULD NOT BE AN ACCESSORY TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, there are those who say you shouldn't shut 
down the government. We are not going to shut down the government. We 
are going to fund the government.
  And I am hoping that we are actually going to fund women's health 
with more money than what the President or the Democrats were pushing 
for to be given to Planned Parenthood.
  In the history of Planned Parenthood, they have never, ever, ever 
done one mammogram because they are not certified to do mammograms. 
They bring people in and refer them out to get their mammograms.
  I have been married for 37 years to the same woman, and I have three 
daughters. I want good women's health care. Let's fund it, but let's 
give it directly to the facilities that will do the mammograms and not 
send it to Planned Parenthood for them to take their cut.

  When you pay for the rent and the utilities and you know there is 
criminal activity going on, you are an accessory. Congress should not 
be an accessory.
