Additional Cosponsors (Cong. Rec., Feb. 1, 2022)

Summary

Page S442 of the Senate section of the Congressional Record for February 1, 2022, in interleaved columns. It lists Marine Corps nominations received by the Senate and printed in the Congressional Record on January 5, 2022, and introduced bills including S. 3551, to have the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior carry out activities to enhance recreational opportunities for gateway communities, and a bill with a Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provision. A speaker says a townhall meeting in Kansas covered the effects of toxic exposure on veterans' health, and a resolution refers to elected members of parliament resuming their duties without impediment.
