BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, when the Senate considers the Rescissions Act of 2025, H.R. 4, it is my intention to make the following motion to recommit to the bill:

(1) A motion to recommit the bill H.R. 4 to the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that--

(1) are within the jurisdiction of such committee; and

(2) remove any rescissions that may undermine the public broadcasting infrastructure that supports the access of communities to emergency alert systems.

Mr. President, Senator Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland supports the motion to recommit bill H.R. 4 to the Senate Committee on Appropriations to eliminate rescissions that would undermine the public broadcasting infrastructure that supports the access of communities to emergency alert systems. Senator Alsobrooks knows the role of public radio and television in ensuring communities have access to information and emergency alerts.
