Senate Remarks on the Invest in America Act — Congressional Record, August 4, 2021

Summary

Page S5884 of the Senate section of the Congressional Record for August 4, 2021, in interleaved columns, with committee meeting authorizations for the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. A speaker commends the leaders for allowing a series of amendments to the infrastructure bill, saying 22 amendments had been on the floor and about half were Democratic and half Republican. The speaker also says China spends three or four times more as a percentage of its GDP on infrastructure than the United States does, framing the bill as a matter of competitiveness. The page ends with lists of military officers nominated for promotion under title 10, section 624.
