Mr. MOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Oklahoma for yielding.

Mr. Speaker, Guam is home to 3,372 Federal employees, more than 43,000 SNAP recipients, over 9,000 WIC recipients, and more than 20,000 veterans, all of whom have been impacted by this shutdown. If we continue to put politics over our country, my constituents will continue to suffer.

Simply put, this gets us back on track, ensures funding for those who need it is in place and turns the lights back on. This bill ensures that families receive the assistance they need, veterans have access to care, and our island is reimbursed for the sacrifice we made to keep Federal programs running during this difficult time.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill and to deliver for the American people. The time for deliberation is when the government is open and people have the assistance they need.
