Summary

Page S1051 of the Senate section of the Congressional Record for March 4, 2021, with a correction notice, showing Mr. Schumer move to proceed to Calendar No. 10, H.R. 1319, and call up Amendment No. 891 to improve the bill. A speaker says he is willing to help struggling people but objects to a $1,400 check going to a couple making $200,000, which is that speaker's view, while another says the bill is one of the largest single anti-poverty bills in recent history and that help is on the way. The page ends with a section list including the commodity supplemental food program, WIC improvements and a Pandemic EBT program.
