if I could, will the majority leader yield for a question? I ask the majority leader and the Senator from Massachusetts, did they know that today the report came out from the Small Business Administration, which the chairman knows, the Senator from Maine, Ms. Snowe, that 53,900 businesses have applied for help, and that only 58 businesses have received checks to date? Let me repeat, 53,900 businesses have asked for help, and, to date, 58 in the whole region--from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama--have received help--58 businesses. So I think the Senator from Massachusetts raises a good point. Did you know there is some urgency, Mr. Leader, about this situation?
