I challenge anybody to name one company on this list that would cut corners or speed up the process that involves putting a drug in your body just because they're trying to help some candidate for political office.

Clearly, we learned a lot more about China. We were trying to find out information about China in those early weeks.

We follow the science and get to a cure to get multiple vaccines, hopefully in the stage of approval from the FDA.

China not only covered up an emerging pandemic, they also spread the pandemic and made sure that the rest of the world was not prepared to thwart the virus.

China, Mr. Chairman, has long declared a goal of overtaking the United States, both economically and militarily.

I know we will continue this conversation. Hopefully, the bill gets filed tomorrow, and we can resolve more of these issues next week. I look forward to seeing the gentleman and working with him on all of these. Madam Speaker, I yield back…

He has been in some of those meetings, too. And as the gentleman knows, not all doctors agree.

Reclaiming my time. Madam Speaker, we all appreciate Tom's service to our country and especially to this Chamber. Now, if I may inquire of the majority leader the schedule for next week, and I would yield.

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for next week. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield to my friend, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the House majority leader. Honoring Retiring Parliamentarian…

I know a few members on your side referenced a series of comments made by somebody who's peddling a book right now out of context, talking about the President, as we seem to hear in this politically charged environment, unfortunately…

I urge my Democrat colleagues to stop playing political games, to stop sowing distrust in America's institutions, and to stop trying to use the Federal Government to hijack state and local elections.

Vote-by-mail opens up our elections to all kinds of vulnerabilities.

In contrast to blue states like California, who play fast and loose with their elections, I'm proud of Tennessee and the steps our state has taken to protect the vote of every Tennesseean.

House Democrats care more about winning the election than they do about election integrity.

So, maybe we can also encourage people to become poll workers.

There is simply no pandemic-related reason to change the way we vote in 2020.

I hope all my colleagues remind voters that, since the beginning of March, when President Trump declared a national emergency due to the pandemic, 37 different states plus the District of Columbia have successfully held statewide primaries…

We need to ensure that state laws, which have been debated and honed over years, are respected and allowed to be implemented fairly and efficiently.

We must also make sure that every American who wants to safely vote in person will have that right.

But our Democrat colleagues do not want to join with us today and send that bipartisan message.

If somebody does cast a ballot illegally, it undermines the integrity of our vote.

And I first want to start by thanking all of the poll workers.

Americans will confidently go to the polls in November.

A pandemic will not stand in the way of Americans exercising our First Amendment rights.

Every American who is legally eligible to vote will have that opportunity on November 3 and is strongly encouraged to exercise their right to vote as well.
