let me thank my friend from Florida for allowing this to go forward. I think we do share the same objective. We want to make sure the money gets out, and we also want to make sure that those who really need it get the funds. I assure the Senator, I would be happy that we could bring up the second round this week, but let's make sure we work together with your colleague from Florida, Senator Rubio. We have been in constant contact, and we hope to have a bill ready. I want to acknowledge on the floor Senator Schumer, who has been our leader on our side to make sure that we really target the help for the small businesses that really need it. I see on the floor Senator Collins, who was part of the negotiating team that was able to come up with the PPP program--incredible contributions. Senator Shaheen was also part of that negotiating team-- with Senator Rubio--that came up with the PPP program, and I thank you for your support on this unanimous consent request. Senator Coons, as I have already mentioned earlier, is one of the key members of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, one of our cosponsors of round 2 of relief to small businesses. With that, I yield the floor to my colleague from New Hampshire. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.

I know of no further debate on the bill, as amended. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there further debate? If not, the bill having been read the third time, the question is, Shall the bill pass? The bill (S. 920), as amended, was passed.
