I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. From the ag appropriations, the bill provides: $10 billion for SNAP; $150 million for food banks; $3 billion for school food programs; $1.1 billion for WIC; $309 million for Rural Rental Assistance. In addition, it provides: $1 trillion to States, counties, cities, territories, and Tribal governments; Hazard pay for essential workers; Free widespread testing, tracing, and treatment for every American; More direct payments to families. It requires safety in the workplace and support for really small businesses and nonprofits of all kinds. Mr. Speaker, it meets the challenges of COVID-19 for every single American, and I urge my colleagues to vote for it. It is a good bill. It is a good bill for America.
