Sept. 14: Congressional Record publishes “COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR 2021-09-15”

Volume 167, No. 158 covering the 1st Session of the 117th Congress (2021 - 2022) 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.

“COMMITTEE MEETINGS FOR 2021-09-15” mentioning the Environmental Protection Agency was published in the Daily Digest section on pages D973 on Sept. 14.

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:
