The minimum wage is a wage destroyer, it is a small business knife in the back.

This should be one that we should all agree on and there should be no concern.

I think we need to allow some of these things to go on and let the Senate make the decision.

This is a simple, straightforward amendment that increases the money allocated to the Small Business Administration's Office of Inspector General by an additional $25 million.

The bottom line is we need to reopen our country.

This is a common-sense fix that will help millions of small businesses qualify for the second PPP loan program.

This forbearance is a really, really big deal and I think if we can't accept this amendment today...

Despite these circumstances, our nation's job creators have tried their best to move forward.

I feel that there are just too many extraneous subdivisions in the amendment in the nature of a substitute that you have offered.

I have talked for years now about these concentrations of power, how they stifle competition, hurt small business, and ultimately hurt working people.

I think that it is safe to say that has been the view of this Committee.

I have no doubt in my mind he would be convicted if the impeachment vote in the Senate was secret.

Even very, very conservative lawyers have come out saying that this process argument that they`re going to try to hide behind is not a really valid legal argument under the constitution.

Thank you, Chair Carbajal, and congratulations on your first hearing as Chair of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation.

I will hold you to that as well in terms of finding ways to use Federal procurement policy to make sure that security risk products do not infiltrate it.

I represent an agricultural district, and I'm also a farmer. So I am concerned about persistent press reports about the shortage of containers to carry U.S. agriculture exports to our customers around the world.

I commend the Chair for holding this hearing on the pandemic's specific impacts on the Maritime Transportation System.

I will hold you to that.
