Mr. GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, and still I rise, Mr. Speaker, and I rise tonight in the name of the TSA worker that made an appeal. I rise in the name of justice for the TSA workers. This worker said to me as I made my way through the airport, help us. We have families to feed. Help us. Fight for us.

This bill does not help those workers. It is dead on arrival. The bill that can help the workers is the compromised bill that came out of the Senate. This bill is dead. The Senate bill lives, and it will help those workers. They have families to feed. They must put food on the table. This bill doesn't do it. It is the Senate bill. It is the compromised bill. You don't want compromise. You want capitulation. Democrats will not capitulate.
