Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and friend from Ohio for yielding and for his leadership on this issue. I also want to thank my friend and colleague, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Bass), for her work over the years on this issue…

Madam Speaker, let's assume two kids go out at night to the school dance. When the Black mother is waiting by the phone and the phone rings and the child says, ``Well, there was a problem,'' and both kids say, ``We see police lights. The…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let me just quickly reply to what I think the big difference is between the two sides. We just heard an eloquent argument about the financial impact to families if a police officer loses…

some of us on this committee have been demanding answers from five governors who went against CMS guidelines on nursing homes.

I applaud the Trump administration for implementing Operation Warp Speed to push more results for families, to get more testing, to get more cures, therapies.

But for somebody to suggest that a program that has over a 99 percent success rate is a failure or shouldn't have happened is ludicrous.

I'm glad that in your testimony you made clear that you're getting that cooperation from the Trump administration.

But, in the meantime, for somebody to suggest that the administration is refusing to cooperate kind of flies in the face of what you are testifying before us today about, that there is cooperation, there's negotiation.

And, again, as Dr. Green pointed out, there are thousands of people dying because they're staying at home.

Victims' families, by the way, have been contacting us by the thousands asking for that same data, and the governors are refusing to get it.

In an eight-week period, to give out over 4.6 million loans and to see it, by and large, being carried out the way we would all expect it to do, is, I think, something we should be applauding.

I am encouraged to hear that you are testifying that you are in a negotiation to get the data that you are looking for from the administration.

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise to join my colleagues in voicing my great concern with the substance of this bill and the broken process by which it was produced. As we have all agreed, the issue of…

Mr. President, nearly a month has passed since George Floyd died. In a show of unity, which bridged divides Americans-- Republicans, Democrats, Independents--demanded that something be done to prevent such deaths from happening in the…

Last week, my Republican colleagues and I raised the disturbing specter of the deadly decision by a handful of Governors to force COVID-positive patients back to nursing homes.

I urge Speaker Pelosi and the entire Democrat Party to join us, encourage these states to speed up the opening of this economy.

We can make ourselves better prepared while creating new jobs.

We ought to get those answers. We're going to continue pressing for that.
