Congressional Record, House — March 11, 2021, H1329
Summary
This is the opening of the Congressional Record, Vol. 167, No. 46, House of Representatives, Thursday, March 11, 2021. The House met at 9 a.m. with the Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offering the prayer, the Journal approved, Mr. Zeldin leading the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Speaker announcing up to five requests for 1-minute speeches on each side. In one-minute statements, a speaker supports music education and thanks band and choir educators, and Ms. Foxx, under the heading Proudly Standing With Gun Owners, says H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446 are attempts by the Federal Government to exert more force over law-abiding gun owners.
