“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise in support of this package, which contains four amendments I introduced. My first amendment supports the family-owned dairy farms, backbones of the rural economy in northwestern New Jersey, which are facing major challenges from the pandemic. Dairy farmers have suffered more than $5.7 billion in losses from the crisis, and my amendment calls for support for the dairy farmers. My second amendment provides more resources for the inspector general of the VA to investigate and ensure proper compliance of the State-run veterans homes, like the disaster-stricken State-run New Jersey veterans home in Paramus, where 81 residents and one staff member tragically died from the coronavirus outbreak. My amendment will make much stronger Federal oversight of these facilities possible, which we need to protect our veterans. My third boosts investment for medical care at non-VA facilities to continue our fight for greater access to healthcare for veterans in north Jersey. And my fourth would increase investment for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's outreach services. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.”
