On the recordOctober 24, 2020
in order to proceed to the consideration of H.R. 4894, Congressional Budget Justification Transparency Act of 2020, a bill that requires Federal agencies to make budget justification materials available to the public--it is a transparency measure. It requires disclosure, and it requires the Office of Management and Budget to make certain details regarding the materials available to the public, including a list of agencies that submit budget justification. It also forces disclosure of the dates that materials are submitted to Congress and posted online and links to the materials--a basic disclosure measure. It was passed, again, overwhelmingly by the House of Representatives on September 14 of this year, without any action so far in this body. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to legislative session. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Senator from North Dakota.
