Mr. Mcconnell so, mr. President , earlier today, leaders in both chambers and the administration reached a bipartisan agreement to supplement the historic cares act. At the core of our agreement is 320 billion more for the paycheck protection program, which is already saving millions of Small Business jobs and helping americans get paychecks instead of pink slips.
