Helping America’s Small Businesses (Cong. Rec., Sept. 24, 2020)
Summary
This is page H4950 of the Congressional Record, House, September 24, 2020, headed Helping America's Small Businesses, with interleaved columns of one-minute speeches. The House concurs in S. Con. Res. 45, transferring the Capitol catafalque to the Supreme Court for services for the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Mr. Scalise says about $138 billion remains in the Paycheck Protection Program fund, which has expired, and that over 50 million jobs were saved by the program. Ms. Herrera Beutler asks unanimous consent to discharge the Committee on Small Business from H.R. 8265, a bill to extend Paycheck Protection Program access, and the Chair declines because the request was not cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leaderships. Other members mark Hispanic Heritage Month and Hurricane Sally.
