Mr. President, let me thank my friend from Florida for allowing this to go forward. I think we do share the same objective. We want to make sure the money gets out, and we also want to make sure that those who really need it get the funds…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object to modifying the amendment, under my reservation, let me first thank the Senator from Florida. I agree with his concerns, and that is why we are looking at additional help for small businesses…

Mr. President, shortly, I am going to make a UC request. I am not going to do it now because we are still working out some of the specific details, and Senator Scott will be on the floor when I do that, but let me just explain while I am…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I have been listening to this debate in my office on television. Virtually, in other words, I have been watching. I thought everybody would be interested to know I didn't have a T-shirt on, and I wasn't…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I have only been on the floor a short time, but I am sure there have been the repeated opposition statements that: ``Oh, if only we could get agreement.'' ``If only we could do this, we…

Healthcare is a human right. The Affordable Care Act helped us live up to that value by giving over 20 million American people healthcare coverage, including millions with preexisting conditions. But still, too many Americans don't have…

First of all, of course, I reject emphatically the premise that this is absurd. As the gentleman knows, there were some 70, some weeks ago, who cast a vote. There were 30 today. They cast their votes because they were concerned about their…

Let me tell the gentleman that we certainly intend to continue, as I said, to try to protect the American people. A lot of people have died. Over 122,000 people have died.

I thank the gentleman from Georgia for yielding. Madam Speaker, on Monday, the House will meet at 9 a.m. for morning- hour debate. I would repeat that because it is unusual. On Monday, we are meeting at 9 a.m. for morning-hour debate and…

No, it turns out that we considered the bill in the House the same way the majority leader in the Senate wanted to consider the Scott bill, or the Republican policing bill. So, both Houses wanted to consider them, apparently, in the same…

The President of the United States said this virus was a hoax. Because he said it was a hoax, people thought they didn't have to worry about it. I tell my friend from Georgia, a hoax. He is a gentlemen who refuses to set the example of…

We are hopeful that the Senate will pass a bill. I know that my friend will say, Well, yes, but it is the Democrats that stopped the bill. Let me tell the gentleman, I genuinely hope that we have a bill passed by the Senate, that we go to…

I hope America is watching what is going on on the floor today, and they are paying careful attention to this debate. We hear speaker after speaker from the other side of the aisle say things like, ``It has been done before.'' The majority…

The gentleman will surely note that when his party was in power and was scheduling bills, you had the most closed rules of any Congress in the history of the Congress.

I want to thank the distinguished Delegate, the congressperson from Washington, D.C., for her steadfast leadership on this. I had the opportunity to work with her predecessor back in the late 1980s in this Chamber, Delegate Walter…

Yes. I talked to Mr. McCarthy yesterday. Obviously, because of the timeframe that the COVID-19 health strictures have imposed upon us, it takes a long time to vote on amendments. So, rather than consider amendments individually, the leader…

I hesitate to ask the gentleman a question I don't know the answer to, so I won't. But I don't know which Governors the gentleman is talking about. But I will, certainly, want to find that out from the gentleman at some point in time.

I am going to leave my mask on, not only because it is the safe thing to do for all of you--not for me, for you--but also because it represents the best of America. I am from Maryland. Maryland was a slaveholding State. I represent the…
