On the recordDecember 20, 2020
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of this short-term continuing resolution. As I said last week, we have been negotiating night and day for weeks to reach agreement on full-year appropriations bills and a coronavirus relief package. I am proud that we have reached agreement that will fully fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year and provide more desperately needed relief for the American people and businesses impacted by the coronavirus. Passing this CR is simply a stopgap measure to give the House and the Senate time to pass this bipartisan agreement and get it to the President's desk for a signature. I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of this continuing resolution. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
