We will still push the majority to put that bill on the suspension calendar. We have no doubt it would pass overwhelmingly. We will continue to fight for those small businesses. ____________________

There ought to be a lot of talk about China because China lied to us, and not just to America but to the whole world.

I applaud President Trump for his leadership at putting this plan in place through Operation Warp Speed.

Something we ought to be proud of, something this President has led the effort on.

That's why it's sad that Democrats, led by Speaker Pelosi, have chosen politics over our economic recovery.

We still ought to have a hearing on before this committee--of all things we should be having a hearing on, it's China's role in creating this.

We can't allow this to happen.

The harms attributed to closed schools on the social, emotional, and behavioral health, economic well-being and academic achievement of children, in both the short and long term, are well-known in significant.

They seem willing to put children and parents through all of this, despite the facts that of the 587,948 children diagnosed with COVID, only 103 have died.

Hopefully we will continue to encourage people to follow those guidelines and safely reopen.

The President's Operation Warp Speed is getting us to the brink of that.

Let's take a program we already agree on and at least give a lifeline to those small businesses who are struggling while we work to get this great economic recovery back on track.

We can protect at-risk children with virtual learning while letting the rest go back to in-person school.

We've got a bill, Mr. Chairman. I brought this to the majority leader's attention. Congressman Chabot from Ohio filed a bill to take the remaining PPP money.

The time for excuses is over.

Closing down schools when they can safely reopen is hurting kids. It's going to kill kids.

We need to have that hearing to get those answers, to get the facts out because we know a lot more about this disease today.

We mourn every loss of life here in America. We've crossed the 200,000 death number.

We are managing through finally getting our economy back open, seeing economic growth, helping families get back on their feet.

The Federal Reserve has stepped up like so many other Federal agencies to manage what is an unprecedented time in America's history.

Well, I thank the chairman, Chairman Clyburn, for hosting the hearing.

This economy has added more than 10 and a half million new jobs just in the last four months.

Under President Trump's leadership, Congress responded in a bipartisan way. We passed the CARES Act.

The President made another tough decision, but the right decision, according to all the scientists: he banned flights from Europe.

At the outset of this pandemic, China lied about the emergence of the most dangerous virus we've seen in over 100 years.
