Speaker Johnson on CR: very simple clean CR until recent days intervening things; Burlison: garbage

Speaker Johnson on CR: “We’re almost there…We’ve been working around the clock to get the CR done. It was intended to be and it was until recent days a very simple a very clean CR…but a couple intervening things have occurred…We do expect text today.”
