Congressional Record, House, February 5, 2021 — Adoption of S. Con. Res. 5 Budget Resolution
Summary
This is H441 of the Congressional Record, House, February 5, 2021, with interleaved columns. Under the heading Providing for the Adoption of S. Con. Res. 5, Mr. Morelle calls up House Resolution 101, which provides that Senate Concurrent Resolution 5 is hereby adopted, and yields 30 minutes for debate to Mr. Burgess. He says these are not normal times, that 454,272 Americans have died of the disease, and that nearly 11 million Americans are unemployed. He argues that the reconciliation directives are needed so that the American Rescue Plan, with stimulus payments and support for small businesses and reopening schools, does not languish in the Senate, with the views attributed to the speaker.
