Congressional Record — House of Representatives, H2050 (April 21, 2021)

Summary

Page H2050 of the House section of the Congressional Record for April 21, 2021, in interleaved columns. A transmittal gives an updated status report on current levels of on-budget spending and revenues for fiscal year 2021, current through April 2, 2021, under section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. A speaker argues that tax reform expensing led to new equipment, higher productivity and falling greenhouse gases, and urges using math and science rather than worrying about campaign contributions, which is that speaker's view. Executive communications include EC-895 from the FDA and Environmental Protection Agency approval rules for state plans.
