I certainly support the gentleman from Minnesota's amendment to direct SBA to report the number of small businesses looted during the civil unrest of 2020.

I support the gentleman from New York's amendment here. I think it is important that we prioritize how we are going to be funding the different needs that are out there with regards to our country and our small businesses.
