I thank Chairman Neal for yielding. This disaster relief bill includes $360 billion for paycheck protection for American workers; $75 billion for our courageous healthcare workers and the institutions that they work at; and $25 billion for virus testing to bend, break, and crush the disease curve. Sadly, New York's State, county, and local governments were kicked out of this disaster relief bill, and the Senate majority leader's arrogant advice for them to include bankruptcy is insulting and arrogant. What we need at the time of national crisis, a national emergency, is we need leaders who possess goodness, humility, courage, and a sense that we are all in this together, a sense of national solidarity. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are advised to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the United States Senate.
