Reclaiming my time, the gentleman is correct. We expect a good turnout of Members on both sides of the aisle to be in the Chamber when we meet. We do know, however, there are Members who, for health reasons--either their own health or the health of one of their family members--transportation issues, as you know, are more difficult now with the pandemic going on, but our expectation is there will be a good number of Members. We do not expect there to be 20 Members here. We expect there to be many more. And as the gentleman knows, when asked to come to the House to pass critically important legislation, Members on both sides of the aisle have been here in large numbers. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman.
