On the recordJune 30, 2020
I am grateful for the Paycheck Protection Program, PPP, which has been crucial to helping families, small businesses, and communities maintain and promote jobs. President Donald Trump's leadership of achieving record job growth, and now job recovery, is appreciated. This program has helped 4.4 million small businesses procure loans, and over $511 billion has been processed in aid. The deadline to apply for the loans is today, and so far, these loans have been great news for small businesses making a difference for jobs. I am thankful that the Paycheck Protection Program has been so widely successful to support small businesses and maintain jobs in the midst of the global pandemic of the Wuhan virus. Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
