With hospitality and tourism being slower to recover than other industries, additional limited, targeted relief may be needed.

We all care about our families and our parents and grandparents, and I hope we all live better, longer.

This is a really important hearing.

Caregiving is a never-ending job, 24/7. It is oftentimes thankless.

I appreciate you holding this important hearing on Federal contracting for minority and women-owned businesses.

Outreach and training on both sides, streamlining, duplication in the process, that's going to make it easier for everyone.

99 percent of businesses in Nevada are small businesses, and so we understand their importance not just to our community and to our families but, of course, to our states and country.

I really want to talk about making paid leave work for small business owners because that is really the crux of what we have to do.

It is critically important because we do know there are disparities in our retirement system.

I do remain concerned about the continuation of Title 42, that policy that the Trump administration used to expel migrants across the board.

I want to be sure that if families are self-separating, if there is separating going on, that we know where children go, where their parents go.

It is so painful and making migrant parents make that painful decision to separate from their children in order for them to find safety in the United States.

I cannot tell you -- consistent with my obligations today about private conversations with the president one way or the other.

I think it's really necessary and important for all of us to find ways to restore our citizens' faith in the electoral process.

I think if members are adhering to their constitutional rights and roles and responsibilities, you know, that's, again, a question for all the folks in Congress to assess.

I introduced bipartisan legislation that will ensure that NIH will continue to be able to work with the CDC on comprehensive and longitudinal studies of a diverse group of COVID-19 patients.

I am so grateful for what everyone has been doing to be sure that we can keep the American people, really, people around the world, safe, healthy, and informed.

I am worried about the mental health challenges for children. They have been rising because of the pandemic.

Chair Hassan, you have done so much work on the issue of Federal IT management.

Thank you, Chair Hassan, for organizing this important meeting.

I want to speak quickly about postal rural delivery, because in Nevada, during this pandemic the Postal Service has been of particular importance to our rural communities, even more so to our rural seniors.

I think you are right, not just in this area, but in all others, being sure we have that good cyber hygiene.

We have to foster and protect those partnerships among universities or valuable research institutions.

I look forward to learning more about your plans to support our Nation's small businesses.

This is a policy change I have been calling for since last year.
