Amendments En Bloc No. 1 (Outdoors for All Act) — Congressional Record, House, February 26, 2021
Summary
This House page of the Congressional Record (page H737, February 26, 2021) begins with speeches urging support for the American Rescue Plan, including mention of an expanded Child Tax Credit and Federal unemployment insurance. In one-minute statements, Rose marks National FFA Week and Hagedorn describes the PPP Flexibility for Farmers and Ranchers Act, a bipartisan bill introduced that day to let farm partnerships use gross income to calculate loans. The page then turns to Neguse of Colorado offering amendments en bloc No. 1 pursuant to House Resolution 147, printed in part B of House Report 117-6, including Barragan's Outdoors for All Act with a grant program for outdoor recreation.
