Chairman Quigley, Ranking Member Womack, thank you for inviting me to join you today. I look forward to your questions, but first, I want to briefly discuss the state of our economy and the state of the Treasury Department. Because I believe one depends on the other.
Our economy is recovering from the pandemic, but we still have a long road ahead of us. For this reason, I expect that economists will look back on this Congress’ decision to enact the American Rescue Plan – and judge it very favorably. You had an option – to provide just a few months of relief or continued support to see us through to the end of the crisis – and you chose the latter.

The new office will report to Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo and will be led by Jacob Leibenluft, a counselor to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who will work closely with Gene Sperling, the White House rescue plan coordinator.
Consolidating the recovery programs covered under Biden’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) and others enacted under the Trump administration’s CARES Act will improve efficiency, equity and outreach to grantees, Adeyemo told reporters.
