BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MOYLAN. Madam Speaker, I thank my friend, Chairman Cole, for the great work he has done on the appropriations. That is why I rise today in support of the measure before us.

Madam Speaker, the Senate amendment preserves the bipartisan funding bills that this Chamber has agreed to while giving us the necessary time to come to an agreement on Homeland Security funding.

We simply cannot allow our troops or Federal employees to miss another paycheck. If we fail to send this bill to the President's desk today, the shutdown will continue to drag on and limit access to the programs that Americans across the country rely on for healthcare, education, and national security.

In Guam, where the enlistment rate is the highest in the Nation, many of our families rely on a timely paycheck for everyday needs. This bill strengthens support for our servicemembers and includes a 3.8 percent pay raise for all military personnel and continues the pay rate increases for our junior enlisted servicemembers.

Madam Speaker, I strongly agree with and urge my colleagues to support this measure and to support the American people.
