Congressional Happenings

Since the last publication of my congressional happenings report, I am pleased to say I have been very active in the congress. I have taken part in various debates on numerous issues ranging from infrastructure placement to the current funding levels of the CBO to the fate of the foreign currency reserves of the United States.

I am also pleased to announce that in the next few days, I, alongside New York senator cerb and California senator Thomas. Anderson we will be launching a non-profit organization dedicated to the expansion of Q5 healthcare coverage in the eUSA. This organization is to be known as the American Health Foundation and will start operating within the next week.

I have also organized the first US Census in months and will continue to provide valuable facts and figures to the eUSA congress throughout my term.

Sincerely,
Your senator,
