R. 8406, the heroes act. Finally, the rule provides for two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member on the committee on appropriations. Mr. Speaker, we are here today because the American People are tired of waiting. It has been more than four months, four months since this house passed the heroes act in response to the coronavirus pandemic. To help our first responders, health care workers, struggling businesses and local government. This bill passed this house on may 15, mr. Speaker. May 15. What did the senate do, mr. Speaker . Nothing. They apparently couldnt p bothered to bring this bill couldnt be bothered to bring this bill up for a vote for months. But it took minutes after Justice Ginsburg passed away to nominate a Supreme Court nominee. You cant make this stuff up. Something is terribly, terribly wrong here. More than 225,000 more than 205,000 americans have lost their live deuce to coronavirus and more than seven million more have been infected. Millions of people are out of work. Small businesses are struggling and some have had to shut their doors forever. Our economy hasnt take an hit like this since the great depression. Many families are struggling every day to make ends meet. Kids are going hungry. This pandemic isnt going to just disappear overnight as the president suggested. Its going to take a whole of government response for quite some time. And that requires congress to act. Republicans in the senate may be able to sleep at night telling the American People to wait and then wait some more and then wait some more while they rubber stamp another judge. But i cannot ask our people, our communities, our Small Businesses, our workers and their families, to wait any longer. No one in this majority can. Our country is suffering and our people are in pain. Thats why we have tried over these past four months to strike a fair and common sense deal with senate republicans. But they couldnt even come to an agreement on a package among themselves. Republicans are fighting with republicans over there. So they just abandoned doing anything at all. Doing nothing is unconscionable. Im proud that our speaker, nancy pelosi, has never given up. Shes spoke within treasury secretary mnuchin again and again and again and again, trying to come up with an agreement. Her offer to this administration was simple. Lets meet halfway. Lets take the 3. 4 trillion in relief contained in the initial heroes act, and reduce it by 1. 2 trillion. We would still fund our first responders, our Small Businesses, and our state and local government. But we would meet republicans in the middle. We would come down a trillion, they would come up a trillion. Thats called compromise. Its what you do, its what you have to do, from time to time in divided government. The bill included in this rule, h. R. 8406 reflects that give and take. Theres funding here for state and local governments to avert layoffs and continue critical services. The coronavirus testing, tracing, and treatment for our hospitals and for our health care providers. For continuing unemployment insurance. And for families to pay for necessities like food, utilities, and rent during this pandemic. This revamped heroes act totals 2. 2 trillion. Many democrats including myself favor the original, larger bill. My friends on the other side wanted something much smaller. But disagreement should never result in an d result in inaction. One in four children in this country are at risk of going hungry this year because of this pandemic. The lines for food banks in some communities already go for miles. People are hurting. Today. Right now. We all know that. And if you dont know that, you dont go back to your district. We all know what it takes to truly do something about it. We have pleaded with the senate to take this bill up for months. We have negotiated over and over again. And today we are back with a compromise proposal. The only question, mr. Speaker is whether my republican colleagues are finally ready to take yes for an answer. On behalf of the most vulnerable among us, those who are out of work, going hungry, and struggling to get by, i pray the answer is finally yes. Once again, mr. Speaker, i ask my colleagues, all my colleagues, to support this rule and the underlying heroes act so we can finally, finally get relief to where it is so badly needed. I reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. Mr. Cole thank you very much, madam speaker. Mr. Speaker, excuse me. Mr. Speaker, i want to thank my good friend, the gentleman from massachusetts, the distinguished chairman of the rule committees for yielding me the customary 30 minutes and i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Cole mr. Speaker, were here today to consider a rule that provides for consideration of a single item. The Senate Amendment to h. R. 925, the majoritys second attempt to pass a partisan wish list under the guise of a Coronavirus Relief bill. There are two quotes that sum up how i feel about todays rule, mr. Speaker. The first, widely misattributed to Albert Einstein is that, quote, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again an expecting different results, unquote. The second, accurately attributed to yogi berra, is that todays action feels like, quote, deja vu all over again, unquote. Today the House Majority is bringing up again a partisan Coronavirus Relief package just as they did in may. As in may, todays bill was written with only democratic input. Like in may, todays bill has a massive price tag. 2. 4 trillion. As in may, todays bill contains a plethora of provisions completely unrelated to Coronavirus Relief. Indeed just like in may todays bill is more akin to a democratic policy wish list than to an actual relief bill. And just as in may, we all know what the end result will be. The senate will not pass this bill and the president will not sign it into law. But it doesnt have to be this way, mr. Speaker. For whatever reason, the majority is refusing to truly negotiate on a bipartisan Coronavirus Relief bill that would provide real relief for millions of americans. I grant them discussions have taken place, but when the majority continues to insist that its their way or no way, and refuses to meet republicans halfway, one begins to understand how we got to this point. I would remind both this chamber and the American People that its been the democrat who was blocked the second Coronavirus Relief bill. Just last week, House Democrats blocked republicans from bringing up a simple bill to extend the Paycheck Protection Program. In the senate, democrats blocked the majority from bringing up a clean extension of p. P. P. And later, democrats blocked the republicanled Coronavirus Relief bill from being considered. Not because they disagreed with anything in the bill but because they just thought other things should be in the bill. All of these bills are our bills are bills the president would have signed into law. At a time when so Many Americans are truly suffering, why the House Majority insists on blocking these measures and bringing up their own partisan wish list instead does not make sense to me. But what makes even less sense is the egregious process they followed in considering this bill. The process, if you can even call it that, violated house rules and any notion of fairness. The bill was introduced on monday night. After being drafted in secret in speaker pelosis Office Without any republican input whatsoever. No Committee Held a hearing on it and no committee marked it up. Thus violating the mcgovern rule which requires any bill coming before the rules committee to have a hearing and markup in the committee of jurisdiction. The bill is 2,152 pages long and i highly doubt that most members have had time to read, review and digest it in that short amount of time. I will say this though. It does set a record. It sends 1 billion a it spends 1 billion a page. Thats remarkable spending. When your process is that bad, no wonder the jut put is as bad as the bill were considering today. The majority claims todays bill is a scaled down version of the heroes act. A bill we considered back in may. And if the majoritys funding calculations on the amount of money were spending in this bill are accurate, that may be technically correct. But it still does the exact has the exact same policies and problems as the heroes act. This bill includes massive spend, even in areas where we appropriated funds as part of the cares act in march and havent fully spent them yet. Funding for democratic policy priorities at the expense of bipartisan, inclusion of provisions that are completely unrelated to Coronavirus Relief, like a complicated and controversial multiemployer pension bill. A provision revealing an existing provision of law requiring the auction of tband spectrum. Massive student loan forgiveness. Mandates of a National Vote by mail. Some of these may deserve consideration. But what theyre doing in a bill that is supposed to be about provide regular leaf to americans affected by the coronavirus pandemic is beyond me. Mr. Speaker, in any bill this size, its inevitable that all members will find at least one provision that they like. But it is the package as a whole thats offensive an objectionable. Drafted without republican input and with nothing but democratic ideas and extraneous policy priorities, it is doomed to the same result as happened the last time the majority tried this approach. With their actions today, we will not move the ball forward. We will not draw closer to a final deal that actually helps americans. And they will do so and they will do so as to continue to pass on the chance to actually Work Together as a bipartisan institution. And to provide real help to the American People. Just as in may, the majority is putting up a partisan bill when what we need is a bipartisan deal. We did that four times before, mr. Speaker. If we chose to, we could do so again. They are doing the same thing again and expecting a different result. Mr. Speaker, it didnt have to be this way. There are many areas where we agree. Paycheck Protection Program. Additional money for schools to reopen. Onetime payment of 1,200 per individual, 500 per child and households making less than 75,000 a year. Additional money to speed the distribution of vaccines. Those are areas we could bring out one at a time or bundled together and pass. Instead, my friends have chosen to use a formula they know is doomed to failure. As for the amount, the president has been flexible. The original Senate Proposal was 1 trillion no inconsiderable sum of money, i might add. The president moved that up to 1. 5. That wasnt good enough even though many members of my Friends Party actually supported that socalled problem solve supported that. The socalled problem solvers caucus. I dont want to belabor the point but i know the difference between a serious effort to pass legislation that has a chance of passing in the senate and being signed by the president , and a messaging exercise. And thats all were engaged in today. So its indeed, mr. Speaker, deja vu all over again. With that, i urge opposition to the rule and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. Mr. Mcgovern thank you, mr. Speaker. I just want to say that, you know, when my friend says this is a democratic wish list of things, i mean, the fact of the matter is were trying to respond to a pandemic. We havent had to deal with Something Like this since 1918. Mean, it is basically, you know, impacted our economy in ways that has resulted in millions of people losing their jobs. We have schools that have not fully reopened because its not safe. We have shortages of p. P. E. We dont have adequate testing. I go on and on and on. But the wish list that this bill addresses, seems like we support Small Businesses. We improve the Paycheck Protection Program. Thats hardly id like to think republicans share that too. Additional assistance for Airline Industry workers. Is that so controversial . More funds to bolster education and child care. Given what were going through is that controversial . We honor our heroes. We honor our heroes. Desperately ments responders. Or supporting testing, treatment. Additional direct payments for those who have been who are unemployed. Payrolls. Ensures workers safety. Preserves health coverage. Benefits. Nemployment assistance. Sing strengthens Food Security at a time when a Record Number of going hungry. And, again, just to put this in something passed four months ago. Four months ago. To the senate. Now, they should have passed something and we could have differences. E thats the way it usually works. The republicans are fighting over in the ans senate. There is a big chunk of republicans that dont want to appropriate one more penny for American People. They dont have the time, but rush ave the time to through another Supreme Court record time. I guess i guess were some of frustrating, my friends act like this is not an emergency. Ike we can just kind of go along and everything will be fine. An emergency. We havent faced a crisis like lifetime. R nd if we dont have an allout comprehensive approach not a scalpel approach. Its not just about p. P. E. Also about our schools, our health care workers, our first responders. Of about a whole bunch stuff. If we dont have an all comprehensive approach, then economy is going to have a very difficult time recovering. Just it is just frustrating o me i was home in massachusetts. I did tours of restaurants in my district. People have been visiting some f our restaurants, eating outside. But in massachusetts, we get winters. Soon. S cold and pretty soon people wont eat outside. If they dont feel safe going seeing ecause as were now in a number of states that arent falling some of the ollowing some of the recommendations of the c. D. C. , we see case numbers going up. Surge, how another will these restaurants survive . Shut their doorses forever . We have doors forever . Opportunity to provide a lifeline. So many people that are just struggling to get by. It is unconscionable to me that this hasnt occupied a of urgency in the Republican Leaders mind over in senate. I just i dont get it. It really is so disappointing to me. I will reserve my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves. The gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. Mr. Cole thank you very much, mr. Speaker. Let me quickly yield myself such time as i may consume just to a couple of points nd then move to my friend from arizona. Far be it for me, mr. Speaker, to defend the upper body. I am a very proud member of this house, as all of us are. Its worth noting for the senate actually had 52 votes to pass a bill. It was my Friends Party that it. Them from considering as to the Supreme Court, thank goodness they dont have to deal with the house of representatives. Why theyre able to move quickly. They can move pretty quickly if know, d somebody, you they could deal with here as well. Ts my friends who have chosen to draft legislation they know will be unacceptable, they know not sign and will then rail at them for not president not the signing it. Thats the height of chutzpah, if you will. That, mr. Speaker, id like to yield three minutes to my fellow ished friend and member of the rules committee, the gentlelady from arizona, mrs. Lesko. Withoutker pro tempore objection. Mrs. Lesko thank you, mr. Speaker. And thank you, mr. Cole, for yielding me the time. Know, i agree with chairman mcgovern that we need to help American People. There are still people hurting out there and they need help us. And thats why it is so we have ng to me that this bill in front of us. Very similarjust a version to the part san bill that democrats pushed out of here just a few noths ago that they know is going to get anywhere. Nd so i remember that in the media, seeing how democrats in he house in swing districts were asking, pleading with please pelosi to negotiate with the republicans and the president to actually bill that will be passed and signed into law. All know ter all, you that if you really want to help to American People, you have have a bill that is actually able to get signed into law. This bill is not it. Unfortunately, this bill, once again, highlights a lot of the democratic hat my colleagues theyre having trouble hiring workers back because workers are paid more to stay at home and not work. Thats in this bill right now. More to stay e home. We need to incentivize them to come back to work. Bill also allows illegal mmigrants to get 1,200 stimulus check and their children 500 stimulus check. Right here in this langua anguage, right here in this bill. American citizens, my taxpayers n arizona do not want to subsidize illegal immigrants. His bill also removes safeguards in the Paycheck Protection Program that would the speaker pro tempore the gentleladys time has expired. Mr. Cole mr. Speaker, i yield the gentlelady an additional minute. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady is recognized for minute. Mrs. Lesko this bill also removes any protections from dollars to fund abortions. Bill. Right here in this this bill, as representative federalizes d, elections. In fact, it prohibits states requiring voter i. D. s. I. D. s. Requires voter this bill would take that away. T also legalizes ballot harvesting. Rizona opposed t the Legislature Said no harvesting. This would bring it right back bill. In this again, it would also provide tax millionaires and billionaires in blue states that taxpayers in low tax subsidizee arizona to them. Thats why we cant support this bill. Too many poison pills. Please come up with something help thean agree on to American People. And i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the expired. Dys time has the gentleman from oklahoma reserves. The gentleman from massachusetts. R. Mcgovern yeah, thank you, mr. Speaker. Before i yield to the gentlelady from texas, i just want to say a for the record. I guess the new republican were going to if anybody watched the debate yesterday is to try to twist turn and confuse people. Implied this somehow defunds the police. There is 436 billion in here to provide assistance directly to state and local to support the police. If my friend were so interested the police, she hould know that the bill that Senate Majority leader mitch money for rovided no state and local governments. I mean, nothing. In fact, that bill didnt a lot of the for most neediest people in this country who are suffering as a result of this virus. For nutrition to help our families who are going hungry. Money for a lot of the priorities that i know riorities, not only in my district, but all over the country. So the bottom line is, you know, friends come up with excuse excuse to notfter supporting it. By not supporting it we are not in a time of ple desperate need. Down 1. 3 ave come trillion from what we originally put forward. Not because we think its thing to y the right do, because the need is so great. Were doing it to try to find to accommodate, to move this process forward. Friends make up justify their voting no on this. Yield to ms. Jackson lee. Ms. Jackson lee i thank you very much. R. Mcgovern, the American People cant take this anymore. And my good friend from compassion know the that he has. Worked together, as well as my friends from ohio and arizona. Yesterday, i stood with the mayor of the city of houston and e announced a Mental Health hotline for people being impacted by covid19. The stress of covid19 is taking a toll on the American People. Need relief. Proud, brave parent got up to talk about how virtually t was to teach her children and worked and how concerned she was. Why . The mandate comes from the white house that if youre your children in form meaning in the buildings, because thats was grappling e with then you dont get money. And they have no money. No money to have expanded buildings or temporary buildings so they can help who work have children safely in school. Testing. No money for they have no money to be able to for sick employees from covid19. Say the rise today to American People cannot take it anymore. Enormous. Is and what we have done here is a the merciful response to bill we already passed. That our friends conflicted with and the white house on. Ot seem to get a grip i support 225 billion for education, childcare. To billion in assistance our state and local governments. Thank you, mr. Mcgovern, for making it clear. Those are our municipal workers. Those are police and fire and we it, because who has gotten sick . Police officers, firefighters. Need this money. Yield the n i gentlelady an additional one minute. Ms. Jackson lee i thank the gentleman. We need the testing. Were doing the testing on the of the money that we were granted through the our speaker and others, and they need testing. Ill be in a stadium this coming get people to tested. Thats how much we need it. And then, of course, 28 billion procurement, distribution, education, materials for the vaccine. Want to focus on the 600 for unemployment. For the 1,200 as well mortgagefor rental and to prevent mortgage foreclosure. Restaurants. I want money for the independent pizza shops who hire people. Of workers who will be out work. Like airport workers or airline workers. Insecurity. People are standing in line to get food. Friends t my good understa understand, that people are and they are in need. Wish we were not discussing questions about White Supremacy and whether someone believed in not. I wish we focused on getting this bill passed for the desperate people no matter what backgrounds they are. Want to rise in enthuse assic support for this heroes support for this heroes act. Lets pass it now. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleladys time has expired. The gentleman from oklahoma. Mr. Cole thank you very much, mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, i yield myself such. Ime as i may consume mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question, i will offer to the rule to mmediately bring up h. R. 82635 8265, a bill to extend Protection Program through the end of the year and release 187 billion in unspent program. That mr. Speaker, every member of congress can agree we need to of t relief for millions suffering millions suffering from the pandemic. But we should only move forward on legislation that can actually be signed into signed into law. The measure today doesnt fit that bill. Absent a comprehensive bipartisan package, we should pass smaller pieces where theres broad consensus. Such as the Paycheck Protection Program. P. P. P. Of is great importance to our constituents. It is helping keep millions of americans employed and receiving a paycheck. Members on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers agree that this Crucial Program needs to be extended. And could be extended today if the majority would brick a bipartisan bill bring a bipartisan bill extending p. P. P. To the floor. But you dont have to make my fword it, mr. Speaker. Many house my word for it, mr. Speaker. Many House Democrats believe we need to pass a true relief bill now, rather than just another political messaging bill. A bipartisan letter recently sent to the speaker stressed that, quote, failing to reach a deal is unacceptable, and is a failure of duty to the American People, unquote. A separate letter to the speaker sent by eight democrats last week demanded, quote, a vote on a clean relief package that has direct assistance for those in need, unquote. Perhaps the most telling is a third letter sent just a few days ago and signed by 23 democrats. These members correctly point out to their leaders that absent a bipartisan deal, a, quote, discharge petition is the only potential option for covid19related action on the house floor, unquote. As my colleagues know, House Republicans have such a discharge petition signed and we look forward to these members joining us. However, i would point out, mr. Speaker, and to my colleagues, that we dont have to wait for a discharge petition. We can take a clear step right now by defeating the previous question and bringing h. R. 8265 up for an immediate vote. Mr. Speaker, i ask unanimous consent to insert the text of my amendment in the record, along with extraneous material immediately prior to the vote on the previous question. With that, mr. Speaker, the speaker pro tempore so ordered. Mr. Cole thank you, mr. Speaker. Id now like to yield three minutes to my good friend, the distinguished member from ohio, and the Ranking Member of the Small Business committee, mr. Chabot, to explain more about this critical bill. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from ohio is ecognized for three minutes. Mr. Chabot thank you very much. I thank the gentleman for yielding. The Paycheck Protection Program, p. P. P. Means of us refer to it as, has been shut down. Thats been two months Small Businesses have been able to success sess 137 billion that still remains in the program that was supposed to go for their relief. Small businesses and their workers need our help. Small businesses employ nearly half of the workers in this nation. One out of two. Think of that. One out of every two people employed in nation work for one of americas Small Businesses. Not only did they represent millions of workers, but they also are the nations job creators. They create approximately two out of every three new jobs in america. Of course these arent just statistics. One example of an outstanding Small Business owner is lacy sims. Recently i had the opportunity to visit lacys business, the village Family Restaurant in waynesville, ohio, back in my district. Lacy spoke with me about how she used the Paycheck Protection Program to keep her 25 workers employed so that they could continue to serve the community and, most importantly, continue to support their families. Lacy went on to tell about how she quickly adapted her business to accommodate pickup, delivery and safe Indoor Dining and, like lacey, many Small Business owners have adamented and persevered through the pandemic adapted and persevered through the pandemic. Unfortunately covid19 continues to challenge their very existence. Now is the time for us to act. And we have an option before us here today. If we defeat todays previous question, we can move directly to my legislation to reopen the Paycheck Protection Program, p. P. P. Program. H. R. 8265 would provide targeted assistance to Small Businesses who truly need the federal governments help. This legislation gives Small Businesses the opportunity to receive a second p. P. P. If they can demonstrate a significant revenue reduction, or a first round loan if they didnt get one the first time. Additionally, it adds more flexibility in how the p. P. P. Dollars can be spent. And still be eligible for loan forgiveness. Many Small Businesses are still struggling across this country. We need to act now to help these Small Businesses and the people that they employ and the families that they in turn support. Lets defeat the previous question and restart the Paycheck Protection Program. The nations economy is at stake. We still have 137 billion sitting there that was intended to go to these Small Businesses. We dont have to allocate any more funding. The funding is there. Now, my democratic colleagues have said theyre for small bills. This is the time not just to talk the talk, but to walk the walk. You get two opportunities. You can vote against this previous question or you can sign the discharge petition. Either one of them gives us another vote. Lets save these Small Businesses. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts the gentleman will be happy to know that in this bill were bringing before you here, we have most of what he requested, but more. Mr. Mcgovern our p. P. P. Language is more expansive. Because a lot of businesses didnt qualify. Under the old formula. But i do have to say that it really pains me that my friends dont understand that its not just about Small Businesses, its about our cities and towns, first responders, i mean, we have communities that are about to fire firefighters and police officers. Isnt that important to my friends . Or helping to pay for schools to reopen safely, or to be able to help kids get an education remotely or in a hybrid way, doesnt that fall in the top list of my republican friends . Health care coverage, i mean, the Airline Industry, which theyre about to lay off thousands of workers. We provide some help for them. But yet that doesnt make the cut. So, yeah, we can we can have a scalpel approach to this. Well do a little bit here, then maybe well do a little bit there. But that fails to recognize the severity of the crisis that we are now in. I mean, open your eyes and look at whats happening in this country. In large part due to the mismanagement of this president. Which is unconscionable. But here in congress, we cant we cant deal we cant fix the way he approaches his job, but we can provide direct resources to businesses and to local governments that can help keep our economy afloat until we can get by this. I now am happy to yield 3 1 2 minutes to the gentleman from oregon, mr. Blumenauer. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from oregon is recognized for 3 1 2 minutes. The gentleman from massachusetts yields back. Reserves his time. Mr. Blumenauer i appreciate the gentlemans courtesy in permitting me to speak on this. I commend our leadership, the speaker, for again putting forward legislation to support working families, local governments, health care, as we deal with the covid19 pandemic. This updated heroes act provides for another round of cash payments, housing and food assistance, help for unemployed workers, and targeted relief for Small Businesses. Who need it most. Like independent restaurants. And i would like to speak on that for a moment because im very proud that this legislation cludes 120 billion from our restaurants act for saving 500,000 independent restaurants and their 11 million employees. This sector of the economy totals 1 trillion, when you deal with all those organizations, all their supply chains, and ancillary effects. Local independent restaurants are the cornerstone of communities, large and small. Your community and mine. I think its hard to imagine what life would be like in Oklahoma City or cincinnati or portland, oregon, without those vital institutions. Thats where communities come together, they provide a disproportion avenue for economic success for minority, immigrants, womenowned enterprises, restaurants for many of us was the first job, and its an avenue for moving forward. They are, unfortunately, hurting more than any other industry. They are the largest contributor to unemployment. One in four job losses is in this industry. We have a chance to do something about it. The largest contributor of unemployment of any sector, one in four job losses. In fact, they were half the unemployed in april. Already one in six restaurants have closed their doors permanently. But this legislation provides relief for those who are hanging on by a thread. The evidence is that if we dont take action like this, that is targeted for independent restaurants, were going to have 85 of them close by the end of the year permanently. He heroes act targets 120 billion of our restaurants act that would generate 250 billion in economic impact. Which supports the millions of restaurant workers, truck drivers, farmers, fishermen, people who support this critical industry. Not just the fruits and vegetables, the linens, you think about it for a moment, all of those that are involved. This legislation would, by giving 120 billion of direct relief, would provide 250 billion in economic savings. Having people not taking bankruptcy, not adding to the unemployed ranks, but keeping them in business, paying taxes, paying employees, and keeping those essential food supply chains. Independent restaurants are the true embodiment of Small Business, in cities the speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. Mr. Mcgovern i yield the gentleman an additional one minute. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Blumenauer are the true embodiment of Small Business, quintessentialy. This is what this legislation is geared for. The small independent restaurants. That assistance is more important now than ever. Im sad that weve not had much bipartisan support in the house for this. Although in the senate there are 40 cosponsors and including a number of republicans, led by senator wicker from mississippi. I would hope that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would see fit to vote for this legislation, vote to save independent restaurants, and be able to move forward in a way that will benefit every Community Across america. I thank you for your courtesy and i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. Mr. Cole thank you very much, madam speaker. I yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for such time as he may consume. Mr. Cole thank you very much. I just want to respond quickly to my friends and point out something thats striking to me in listening to the debate. Theres almost nothing that any of my friends have mentioned that we dont support. Almost nothing. All these worthy programs for restaurant, all this relief for individuals, all this help for we all agree with that. Its the things my friends dont mention that they have in their bill that we dont agree with. We dont agree with more money for planned parenthood. That has no place in this bill. We obviously have very serious objections to federalizing the election system of this country, which is statebased. That has no place in this bill. We obviously dont want to give a tax break to millionaires and billionaires in blue states by getting rid of the state and local tax limitations that were placed in. Those are the things, none of which have anything to do with coronavirus, that we object to. Those are the things my friends are insisting on that they cannot pass in the United States senate, and that the president will not sign. If they want to actually pass all these other wonderful things, we agree with them. And weve been very generous in terms of the amount of money the president s moved up on that. Money is a negotiable item here. Policy provisions, poison pills, as my good friend from arizona said, are not. And thats whats keeping us from acting. And frankly, thats a tragedy and a travesty, in my view, madam speaker. With that, i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. Mr. Mcgovern may i inquire of the gentleman from oklahoma how many more speakers he has . Mr. Cole im prepared to close whenever my friend is. Thank you very much. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized for such time as he may consume. Mr. Cole thank you very much, madam speaker. Ill consume the i yield myself the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman is recognized for the balance of his time. Mr. Cole thank you very much, madam speaker. Madam speaker, in closing i urge opposition to the rule. Todays bill is nothing more than a democratic wish list massacre aiding as a Coronavirus Relief bill. Roughly the same as the partisan bill the majority passed back in may and was never taken up by the senate, would never be signed by the president. Todays bill is ultimately doomed. He president made it clear he would not sign it. The majority is missing a real chance here, madam speaker. The American People are as a result of the coronavirus. Time past its past for the two parties to do what we did very successfully four a 10week row in eriod and Work Together and actually provide a package that provides real relief for the American People. Here are plenty of things we agree on such as the extension of the Paycheck Protection Program, such as ensuring that funds are provided for testing and tracing, such as payments of 1,200 for child uals and 500 per for every household making less than 75,000 a year. The exact with amount, but we agree every american whos unemployed no fault of their own at least 400 more a month excuse me a week. And frankly, because the democrats did not take up that offer, those people have gotten july. Ince the end of we absolutely agree we need of tional money for opening schools. So why dont we put on the its a novel suggestion, madam speaker the things we agree on, the things the senate will pass and we know the president would sign . The only reason we have failed because the democratic leadership has made the decision that we have to we doon everything before anything. That is no way to legislate in a a democratic majority in the house, a republican majority in the enate, and a republican president. The majority is not in the position to dictate to either the senate or the president happen, but they are in a powerful position to good ate and negotiate in faith and focus on the areas where we agree. I think that would move us productively. I think, madam speaker, that would be in the best interest of American People. So i call on the majority to end this charade and engage with house, the in the senate, and the administration and come to an agreement on a package. Rtisan relief i know my friends can do it because we did it together four times in a row. Madam speaker, i urge my colleagues to vote no on the revious question, no on the rule, and no on the underlying bill, and i yield back the time. E of my the speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. Myself then i yield remaining time, madam speaker. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields himself the remaining time. Recognized. Mr. Mcgovern madam speaker, i have served in this house for many years. ve been here through unimaginable tragedies like september 11. Very time this nation has been challenged, we came together. Not as democrats or republicans americans. Never could i have imagined that after a shock like the has taken more we would000 lives that struggle to reach a compromise. He house did its job more than four months ago when we passed the original heroes act. Abdicated its responsibility. But weve not walked away. Stopped trying to help protect the lives and ivelyhoods of people that livelihoods of peopthat we pe that we represent. Put on paper the compromises were willing to make. Get a win but to help the American People in the middle of pandemic. I mean, thats what this is all about. Other side s on the of the aisle, let me beg you, please, dont abandon the American People. Dont throw up your hands and away because you dont like every line of this bill. Take yes for an answer. Mean, this bill doesnt federalize elections. T provides safeguards for elections. It provides funding to states to be able to carry out elections in the middle of a pandemic. Know, and to object over the protects this bill americans from losing their coverage is startling to me. Although it shouldnt be because the president , as we speak, is trying to get the Affordable Care act repealed millions of e people would lose their health care. People with preexisting onditions would lose that protection. And you wont be able to keep insurance n your until theyre 26. I mean, think about it. In the middle of a pandemic, this the priority of white house, to Rip Health Care away from people. Away it takes my breath what a disconnect there is about hat the American People need and what some of my friends priorities are. Join us in compromising to get something done. I get it. Year and election people are used to running to their political corners, but crisis demands more than usual. S as it demands more than a skcalpel approach. Let me do a little bit here. A little bit there. Im told that the white house oesnt want to fund nutrition programs. To help make sure that no one in hungry. Ntry goes i cant believe anybody would be n that you know, take that position. I am told thats one of the hot utton items that people dont want to fund. That its one of the democratic riorities that is so controversial. Really . Even before this pandemic, we people in this country who didnt know where their next meal would come from. Battle to ear its a make sure they dont cut nutrition programs. A pandemic and hunger has increased dramatically in this country. Us should not only be concerned about that, but we should be ashamed that that is a richest country in the history of the world. O i urge all my colleagues to come together. I mean, this is an opportunity to meet this moment. Yes on this rule and on the underlying bill. I yield back the balance of my ime and i move the previous question on the resolution. The speaker pro tempore all time being yielded back, the is on the ordering the previous question on the resolution. Those in favor say aye. Those opposed, no. In the opinion of the chair, the it.
