Investing in our infrastructure now will pay dividends down the road.

Climate change poses an existential threat to our way of life.

The need for significant federal investment in infrastructure is undeniable.

I encourage the committee to significantly invest in accessible and affordable public transportation.

We must also continue robust support for public transport.

Investing in our infrastructure, reimagining and building in resilience by design will pay dividends down the road.

Every day, more people come to the realization that climate change poses an existential threat to our way of life.

The U.S. is the wealthiest country in the world, but we rank only 13th on the quality of our infrastructure.

It seems to be that we should repeal the 1991 and 2002 AUMFs, reform the 2001 AUMF, and reform the War Powers Resolution.

I want to thank our witnesses for staying through the entire hearing. It is a critically important issue.

For many businesses in our district, PPP funds have literally made the difference between being able to hang on and weather the struggles of the past year or having to close their doors oftentimes for good.

Our goal with PPP has always been helping our businesses, in particular our small businesses, get to the other side of this pandemic.

I am very grateful that this legislation includes another $7.25 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program and expands the businesses eligible for critical funding.

I think it's just sheer contempt. As I said in my statement, I think they look at their colleagues... and say, I don't care if you get sick, I only care about myself. This is pure selfishness and it's not just disrespectful, it's…

A face mask is a simple device to try to reduce the spread of this virus that is causing death and devastation across our country.

I think it's just sheer contempt... This is pure selfishness and it's not just disrespectful, it's disgraceful.

Using American Jews, who have long faced bigotry and very real threats of violence, is something altogether different.

It is never good to divide us. But that is part of the politics and part of the process here.

I don't think the government is doing nearly enough to provide that guidance.

It is critical, not just the money, which desperately is needed, but the guidance on how to use that money.

We need to create that STARTUP. The challenges we face I would describe it not just a hockey stick.

This is going to come off more harsh than I mean it, but, you know, we went through this crisis...

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. I want to thank you, the committee, and in particular, the committee staff, for really being at the forefront for standing up the remote capabilities of our committee, allowing us to numerous briefings in…

It only works if the SBA gets the money out the door.
