I was in Steny Hoyer's office yesterday urging that the Democrats embrace this part of the Senate proposal.

You could solve the problem for us. You could simply prohibit--I hope you will look at preventing these negative items from being on the credit report.

I hope you will look at the specifics.

We in Congress want to reflect our values in the appropriations but we are not the experts at the program level.

Can you call the folks over at the FHFA and say, 'Hey, it is my job to make sure that you don't get this information on the credit report, so where are you getting it?'

This cutback is going to increase the influence of our geopolitical rival.

The Administration seems hell-bent on cutting this aid at a time of pandemic which is taking lives around the world.

I think the Chairman and the Ranking Member were eloquent as to why we need to expand what we spend to help the developing world.

We need to do more research on COVID. About a quarter of 1 percent of the money we have provided for this crisis has gone to medical research.

We should be providing sick leave so people can stay home if they are sick, or if their kids are sick.

So, we know that Americans have died as a result of Russia providing those weapons.

I am hoping that Senators realize that now is the time to impose some real sanctions on Russia for all of its behaviors, and beginning with this bounty.
