Congressional Record publishes “SUBMISSION OF CONCURRENT AND SENATE RESOLUTIONS” on Sept. 23, 2020

Volume 166, No. 165 covering the 2nd Session of the 116th Congress (2019 - 2020) was published by the Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.

“SUBMISSION OF CONCURRENT AND SENATE RESOLUTIONS” mentioning the Environmental Protection Agency was published in the Senate section on pages S5833 on Sept. 23, 2020.

More than half of the Agency's employees are engineers, scientists and protection specialists. The Climate Reality Project, a global climate activist organization, accused Agency leadership in the last five years of undermining its main mission.

The publication is reproduced in full below:
