“I include in the Record a letter titled ``Support the Paycheck Fairness Act'' written by The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, April 14, 2021. Support the Paycheck Fairness Act, H.R. 7--Vote No on Harmful Amendments Dear Representative: On behalf of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a coalition charged by its diverse membership of more than 220 organizations to promote and protect the rights of all persons in the United States, we urge you to vote for the Paycheck Fairness Act, H.R. 7, without amendments that limit its scope or undermine its critical protections. The Paycheck Fairness Act is a priority of The Leadership Conference, and we will include your vote on final passage in our Voting Record for the 117th Congress.
