                            PETITIONS, ETC.

  Under clause 3 of rule XII, petitions and papers were laid on the 
clerk's desk and referred as follows:

       96. The SPEAKER presented a petition of Mr. Gregory Watson, 
     a citizen of Austin, TX, relative to requesting passage of 
     legislation which would incentivize American-based 
     manufacturers of medical equipment and medical supplies to 
     produce that equipment and those supplies domestically within 
     the United States so as to eliminate--or at least reduce--
     America's dependency upon the fabrication of such equipment 
     and supplies in foreign nations and the concomitant danger of 
     critical shortages of such equipment and supplies to address 
     the healthcare needs of United States citizens; which was 
     referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce.
       97. Also, a petition of the Morris County Board of Chosen 
     Freeholders, relative to Res-2020-298, urging the State of 
     New Jersey to provide direct stabilization funding to Morris 
     County from the Coronavirus Relief Fund in an amount 
     consistent with the allocation made to counties that have 
     populations slightly over 500,000, by utilizing the formula 
     applied through the CARES Act.; which was referred to the 
     Committee on Oversight and Reform.
