Congressional Record — Senate, S2647 (June 2, 2020)

Summary

Page S2647 of the Senate section of the Congressional Record for June 2, 2020, in interleaved columns. Mr. Durbin announces that several Senators are necessarily absent, and Mr. McConnell asks unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to legislative session for morning business, with Senators permitted to speak for a set time. A tribute recalls days at the Pueblo of Zia with Pino, whose family shared traditional food, and says Pino showed how important sacred land is when the speaker began advocating for land conservation in New Mexico. The page also lists executive communications sent to a committee on the environment.
