                 DO THE BUSINESS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, from the moment that House Republicans 
came to power, the majority has failed to do its job. They have 
consistently abdicated their responsibility to govern. They have 
consistently taken the American people on reckless legislative joyrides 
guaranteed to crash and burn. As former New York Knick Michael Ray 
Richardson once famously observed as his team's season was headed in 
the wrong direction, this ship be sinking.
  Mr. Speaker, House Republicans need to end their obsession with the 
Affordable Care Act, end their obsession with hurting immigrant 
families, end their obsession with Planned Parenthood. It is time to 
end sequestration, to fully fund the government, and get back to doing 
the business of the American people.
