Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2021

Floor Speech

Date: Dec. 18, 2020
Location: Washington, DC


Mr. Speaker, I rise today also in support of this short-term continuing resolution. There have been negotiations taking place day and night for weeks now to reach an agreement on a full-year appropriations bill and, very importantly, a coronavirus relief bill.

The negotiations are moving forward. We are very close to a final package, but there is a little bit more time required to get this legislation finalized and drafted. Passing this CR is simply a very short-term, stopgap measure to allow those negotiations to finalize.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting in favor of this, again, very short-term resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time.
