Twenty percent of the population in America is rural. We only got 6 percent of the money that was associated that we sent out in the last CARES package, and that is 6 percent to rural hospitals. We need to treat them fair. That is all we are asking for. A 20- percent set-aside is fair. Thank you, and I would appreciate your support. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Who yields time in opposition?
