Whereas Congress passed additional COVID–19 relief legisla-
tion as part of the bipartisan-bicameral omnibus COVID–
19 relief deal on December 21, 2020;
Whereas the latest reports from the Congressional Budget
Office indicate that a substantial portion of funds pre-
viously allocated remain unspent;
Whereas Congress needs reliable information on unspent
funds before it should consider allocating additional dol-
lars;
Whereas, according to Center for a Responsible Federal
Budget, the proposed American Rescue Plan allocates
less than 10 percent of its total funding to directly com-
bat COVID–19 needs;
Whereas, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the
level of spending in the proposed American Rescue Plan
is at least 3 times the size of the output shortfall in our
economy, which will lead to higher inflation; and
Whereas, almost half of the American Rescue Plan would not
be spent until fiscal year 2022 or later, with at least
$140,000,000,000 not being spent until fiscal year 2024
or later: Now, therefore, be it
