And we disagree with the notion that the March partisan continuing resolution which they put before us once again is actually clean. No, it's not. We opposed [the March partisan continuing resolution] in March because it represented, in our view, an attack on veterans, an attack on nutritional assistance, an attack on Women, Infants and children funding, an attack on housing affordability and an attack on health care. That's not a clean continuing resolution in our view, and it was not bipartisan. Certainly that wasn't the case in the House. (08:35–08:51)
