Allowing Funding For The Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate our team that won so decisively last night. Mr. Boehner and I were there to cheer the Democratic/Republican, Republican/Democratic team on.

The good news is that they won; the bad news is they beat the Capitol Police. So I don't know what that means.

But the fact is that it was great teamwork between the Democrats and the Republicans, which was saluted in the Rotunda earlier today. Senator Edward Brooke, whom we had honored with the Congressional Gold Medal, was pleased to hear about this teamwork between Democrats and Republicans. And, indeed, it got a standing ovation from those folks who didn't even know about the game until then.

But you should have seen our guys. They were so great.

Mr. Shuster, congratulations. Congratulations to HEATH SHULER. The last time I saw them, they were playing baseball. They go from baseball to football, all-round athletes; great teamwork, great leadership. Congratulations to our team.

And I, too, want to join in thanking the Capitol Police. I know they went all-out last night because they always go all-out for us.

Congratulations. We were suited up, but we were not called upon.
