I want to thank my colleague from Florida. I believe he is sincere and has the best of intentions to want to make this program work. I want to make two quick points. The first point is, the more data we have and the sooner we have it, the better we can make the program. It will not slow it down. It will improve it and make it better--the sooner the better. Second, about demographic information, I understand the problem, but there are a lot of ways to skin that cat. If we looked at ZIP Codes, we might very easily be able to tell demographic information. I thank my colleague. I regret that we cannot move this legislation-- the only COVID legislation that will be talked about on the floor thus far, even though we were asked by the majority leader to come back during the crisis, and I hope we can move forward quickly in the future to get the kind of information we need. With that I yield the floor. I yield to the Senator from Connecticut. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Connecticut.
