“I thank the ranking member for yielding. In my 1 minute, let me tell you about Hornwood, Inc.--talk about a survivor. Hornwood is a specialty textile manufacturer in operation 74 years. It manufacturers products for the U.S. military, many specialty applications, and now components for PPE. Hornwood's main facility is in Anson County, among the most economically challenged counties in North Carolina. Hornwood employs almost 400, the largest employer in that county. Although it is designated essential, its revenues plummeted as government shut down the economy. Without a PPP loan, despite being essential, Hornwood must shut down imminently. It applied for PPP on the second day, but its application was caught in a snafu and the funds ran out. The 2 weeks consumed by the majority's exercise of leverage may well prove the fatal difference for Hornwood and thousands of other small businesses, but I am glad we are here finally to finish the job. To Hornwood and all of the others: Keep surviving.”
