I thank the gentleman for yielding me the additional time. The Child Care for Economic Recovery Act adds to and modifies tax provisions allowing for an increase and refundable child and dependent care tax credit, allows employers payroll…

Amtrak's proposal will stifle economic recovery and only add to the growing unemployment in communities that are served by these long-distance routes. Mr. Speaker, despite an infusion of CARES Act funding, these proposed routes guarantee a…

Lines stretched several blocks with voters waiting hours in the rain to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

It all resulted in what Wisconsin's largest newspaper called 'the most undemocratic election in our State's history.'

Both decisions denied State and local leaders enough time to implement necessary measures for conducting the election safely amidst the public health emergency and created mass confusion for voters.

Thank you, Representative Aguilar, Representative Hurd, Representative Lawrence, and Representative Roby.

Thank you. Mr. West.

I worry that reduced U.S. funding would undermine confidence of donors.

The Global Fund remains an outstanding investment.

Thank you, Chairwoman Napolitano and Ranking Member Westerman, for this great opportunity, and for your fantastic leadership.
