I can guarantee Chairman McGovern, if we defeat the previous question, my amendment is what will be brought up to help small businesses and their workers. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Reed).

This amendment would ensure our Nation's smallest and most vulnerable firms get the support they need by allowing an opportunity for a second PPP loan with specific funds set aside for small businesses with 10 or fewer employees, expand…

To me, this doesn't make sense. I yield back. Thank you.

I think what President Trump is saying is there is a concern that all registered voters would get automatically mailed a ballot versus a voter requesting a mail-in ballot.

I get a little bit frustrated when we continually, at the opening statements, Mr. Chairman, you continually, I think just about every time, you have bashed President Trump, and I would actually like to try to get some bipartisan stuff done.

Vote by mail has to be the least secure method we have of voting.

The problem isn't with the Post Office. It's with the States.

Despite what the Democrats say, the Postmaster General is not conspiring with the President to suppress the vote.

It's clear the only reason we're having this hearing is to further the Democrat's crazy postal conspiracy.

To me, it was clear that traveling thousands of miles, we should start blaming the cartels, don't you think?

I mean, I just think it is unrealistic to expect the Customs and Border Protection to just know that these things are going to happen.

I ask all Members, both Republican and Democrat, to call on the people who are violent out in our streets, people who are looting, people who are tearing down statues, people who are setting up autonomous zones--in the one in Seattle they…

I want to commend the men and women of the TSA for continuing to do their jobs faithfully throughout the pandemic.

Ranking Member Lesko's Trusted Traveler REAL ID Relief Act would be critical in requiring the TSA to develop a contingency plan to allow those with non-compliant IDs to still clear the security checkpoint after the enforcement date.

I hope that soon we can move forward in a manner that allows Members to be physically present.

I am disappointed, however, that Members are not allowed to meet in person.

Before I yield time to my friend, I want to point out again that Mr. Cole has been here a long time, and when he says to the public on the floor that when Republicans used this process of combining the bills together in a rule that it was…

I do believe that it is important that we keep them well-paid. But as I said before, we all have to live within budget constraints.

The budget also addresses growing cybersecurity threats facing internal Coast Guard systems.

The President's budget proposal is $58 million less than funding appropriated by Congress in fiscal year 2020.

I am pleased that the President's budget request addresses several of these challenges.

The United States Coast Guard faces an incredibly broad mission set.

As authorizers, it is incumbent upon this subcommittee to examine the President's request.

I am pleased that the subcommittee is meeting today to discuss the President's fiscal year 2021 budget request, which outlines the administration's priorities relating to the Transportation Security Administration and the United States…

It is very important, obviously, that we are prepared. But also, we have to balance that with panicking people.
