Extending Authority (Cong. Rec., July 1, 2020)
Summary
A page of the Congressional Record, House, dated July 1, 2020, at page H3044. It opens with the end of a bill that uses International Emergency Economic Powers Act authorities and states that nothing in it authorizes military force against China, followed by Mr. Sherman's amendment, agreed to, and passage. The Speaker appoints John Tierney to the Public Interest Declassification Board. Mr. Palazzo speaks in defense of police, Ms. Jackson Lee offers a Happy Birthday, America statement, and Ms. Clarke of New York says one $1,200 check is not enough and urges the Senate to pass the HEROES Act. Ms. Craig then obtains unanimous consent to take up S. 4116, which sets the Paycheck Protection Program commitment amount at $659,000,000,000.
