On the recordMarch 23, 2021
I want to read, specifically, what the IRS has told us, because I gather my colleague would like to just continue this for some time. But here is what the IRS says: In the information the IRS receives from the Bureau of Prisons and State prison systems, we do not get the crime for which the person is incarcerated. So we can have a host more of these amendments, if my colleague wants to do it. But I get why he is so anxious to have his amendment passed-- because he was always for keeping people from getting checks, and his amendment, if passed, would put those checks on hold. So that is why I have objected, and we will put this into the record as well. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Markey). Objection is heard.
