Congressional Record — House, June 13, 2022
Summary
Page H5476 of the House section of the Congressional Record for June 13, 2022, in interleaved columns. Remarks mark Juneteenth, recalling those enslaved Texans who finally learned of their freedom 157 years ago, and speak of Texas's 30th Congressional District and the Congressional Black Caucus. A special order headed Reverse the Curse: Restoring Fiscal Responsibility includes a task force to bring Utah's fiscally sound policies to the Nation, and a speaker says gas prices keep skyrocketing and questions official figures showing housing costs up 5 1/2 percent.
