CR letter to the House Appropriations Committee urging increased funding for the Federal Trade Commission

Consumer Reports letter to the House Appropriations Committee calling for an increase in funding for the Federal Trade Commission through a FY 2022 appropriation of at least $877,500,000 — two-and-a-half times its current budgetary allocation. CR notes that Congress has failed to sufficiently fund the FTC and that the agency is overdue for an influx of resources to help it play catch-up to the modern economy.
