Mr. Speaker, I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 366. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman's request is accepted. ____________________

The key is making sure we hire the best teachers. Starting wages for teachers I think is at--or salaries for teachers, absolutely critical.

I would strongly encourage you to look at the $170 billion the Administration is proposing to add to K through 12 for COVID relief and suggest that we put in place things that will really make a difference, like giving all of our kids…
