Executive Communications, Etc. (Cong. Rec., June 26, 2020)

Summary

Page H2592 of the House section of the Congressional Record for June 26, 2020, headed Executive Communications, Etc., in interleaved columns. A speaker says that if people do not get uncomfortable, a protest accomplishes very little, and recalls Dr. King writing from the Birmingham jail, which is that speaker's view. The House adjourned until Monday, June 29, 2020, at 9 a.m. for morning-hour debate. Executive communications include an Environmental Protection Agency final rule on air quality plans for Ventura County, California, and a resolution on domestic terrorism is referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
