Extensions of Remarks and Senate Committee Meetings — Congressional Record, September 14, 2020
Summary
Page E839 of the Extensions of Remarks section of the Congressional Record for September 14, 2020. One tribute says Joseph W. Heston has served the central coast of California, including leading KSBW in raising more than $525,000 on behalf of area food banks to aid COVID-19-distressed families. Another statement praises the Trump Administration's foreign policy, citing the Serbia-Kosovo announcement and agreements involving Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain. The page then prints Senate Committee Meetings, which explains that Title IV of Senate Resolution 4 calls for a computerized schedule of committee meetings and hearings, followed by scheduled hearings including a Committee on Foreign Relations hearing on countering China in the Indo-Pacific.
