Mr. Chairman, I would point out with mask mandates, that includes any mask that can be utilized or worn. As to N-95 masks, the gold standard of masking, it was pointed out in The New York Times opinion piece by epidemiologist, Tom Jefferson, that masks did not show as an effective means to blocking the virus. Mr. Chairman, I ask adoption of this amendment. I ask my colleagues and my friends from the other side to support my amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
