Psaki said that the president is supportive of the bill’s funding and proposed “study, which he feels would be the next important step forward and something that he feels would be absolutely correct in addressing this moment in history.” The bill includes authorization for the appropriation of $12 million in order to carry out the Act’s provisions.
Politico reported that Biden met on Tuesday with Congressional Black Caucus members who raised the need for the bill: “He didn’t disagree with what we’re doing,” Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan said. “He did talk about his plate [being] full with trying to get the infrastructure bill passed and that he really wanted to make sure that he could get that through before he took on anything else.”
The president’s largest concern regarding the legislation is “getting it through the Senate,” Lawrence said, according to Politico.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
