                          GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

  (Ms. FRANKEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. FRANKEL. Madam Speaker, this week I met with south Floridians to 
talk about the impact of the cruel Trump shutdown, so many sad stories.
  I learned about a TSA agent who just came back from maternity leave 
who had to send her baby to her mother in Massachusetts because she 
didn't have the money for daycare or Pampers.
  The air traffic controllers told me that their stress level is so 
high now, it is a danger to all of us. And I heard from the service 
providers of victims of domestic violence who are worried that their 
shelters are about to close.
  Now, Democrats, we support smart border security, not an ineffective, 
wasteful wall. But, listen, we can debate that at another time.
  Right now, we have to open our government so that we can get back to 
the business for the people.
