BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. EVANS. Mr. Speaker, this bill is far from perfect; however, the full faith and credit of the United States is at risk, and we cannot let Republicans drive us to default.

Defaulting on the national debt would disrupt Social Security benefits for 92,000 households in my congressional district. I will not stand by and let harm come to our Nation, seniors, and disabled people. I urge my colleagues not to draw out this debt crisis and instead return to our focus of lowering the costs for working families.
