BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to the time remaining.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DIAZ-BALART. 5860, as proposed to be adopted under suspension of the rules, be modified by the amendment that I have placed at the desk.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, I would remind everyone that before we can fund anything else Ukraine, we have to start by funding the government of the United States of America.

We have been on the floor for a while now, and let me just boil it down to this, if I may, Mr. Speaker:

If you want to shut down the government and all that that entails, then there is an opportunity to do so by voting ``no.''

If you want to keep the Federal Government working and open and allow the democratic process to proceed, then all of us have the opportunity to do so very simply, after all of the words are spoken, to just vote ``yes.'' It could not be simpler, Mr. Speaker.
