Congressional Record — House, March 10, 2021, Page H1194

Summary

Page H1194 of the House section of the Congressional Record for March 10, 2021, made up of one-minute speeches in interleaved columns. One speaker opposes a union bill and says the Democrats have been partisan after five bipartisan relief measures, which is that speaker's view. Mr. Higgins of New York, under Today We Are Helping Main Street, says the American Rescue Plan helps poor and middle America, while Mrs. Maloney says more than 90 percent of Americans support universal background checks. Other statements call for a bold pandemic investment, remember 78-year-old Glenna Fouberg, who taught knitting, and salute Aliyah Boston.
