Congressional Record — Extensions of Remarks, April 23, 2020, Page E387
Summary
Page E387 of the Extensions of Remarks section of the Congressional Record for April 23, 2020, in interleaved columns. An obituary tribute lists community boards and organizations for a man named Bob, and notes he was predeceased by his wife of sixty-seven years, Raye Hutto Livingston. Another statement says state-legal cannabis small businesses were excluded from economic relief, and a statement on a bipartisan agreement says community-based lenders have strong relationships with local small businesses. A closing poem about Easter and perseverance ends the page.
