Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to support this unprecedented economic relief package in response to these unprecedented times.

It is clear this pandemic is having a profound impact on the American people. It is our job to make sure that this impact is not a lasting one.

Especially clear is just how devastating this crisis is hitting rural communities like those in central Washington. This bill provides desperately needed relief to rural hospitals, many of which are the only healthcare provider for a great number of my constituents.

It will support the agricultural industry to ensure hardworking farmers and ranchers can continue to provide food security for our Nation. It will provide stability for workers and small business owners who are the backbone of our local economies.

Mr. Speaker, this is a 9/11 moment, a time to put partisan differences aside, policy goals aside, and work together as Americans for the people of our Nation.
