Congressional Record, House, March 16, 2022: Page H3754
Summary
Page H3754 of the House section of the Congressional Record for March 16, 2022, in interleaved columns. Rule text sets debate on a bill, with one hour of debate divided between the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary and a further amendment from the Committee on Rules report. A speaker says the first bill under the rule, the FAIR Act, simply restores the right of individuals to have their day in court. Other remarks say over 7.4 million jobs were added to the economy, that President Biden and Democrats are acting to fix supply chains, and criticize a company paying an antiunion lawyer to fire a $13-an-hour worker.
