On the recordMarch 27, 2020

I agree with the gentleman from Illinois. This is about all of us as Americans, not as Republicans and Democrats, helping those who are challenged, as all of our country is. Our next speaker is my dear friend from New York City--one of the epicenters of this challenge--who has led the Small Business Committee with extraordinary ability and passion and making sure that the small businessmen and -women of America are helped and addressed in this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Velazquez).
