Made in America (Cong. Rec., Sept. 30, 2020)
Summary
Opening pages of the Congressional Record daily edition for Wednesday, September 30, 2020, Volume 166, No. 170, covering the House. The House met at 9 a.m. with Mr. Cuellar as Speaker pro tempore, and Mr. Green of Texas speaks for 5 minutes on what happens when one party comes to debate and another comes to disrupt, under a heading on establishing a Department of Reconciliation, which is his view.
