I think rebounding means you are bouncing back. Recovery is you are going back to where you were.

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

Senator Cortez Masto and I worked diligently to be sure that 100 percent of COBRA insurance was covered during the pandemic.

For Nevada, this is almost 25 percent of our work force.

I implore this committee to double down on the recent successful American Rescue Plan, by investing in America's Tourism and Hospitality Workforce and Small Businesses, to rebuild our economy.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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