Summary

A page of the Congressional Record, House, dated July 20, 2022, at page H6920. It carries the end of a floor debate in which speakers argue about firearms and the Constitution, with Mr. Good of Virginia saying that the first 10 amendments protect the individual from the government and that the country is a representative republic. It then lists executive communications, including EC–4775 and EC–4776 from the Department of Defense on officers wearing higher insignia, EC–4785 from the Export-Import Bank's Inspector General, EC–4786 transmitting the Federal Maritime Commission Inspector General's semiannual report to Congress, and EC–4787 from the Office of Management and Budget transmitting government-wide legislative proposals. The remarks are the speakers' own.
