BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIDSON of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman for yielding.

This bill is a Band-Aid, and it doesn't even cover the wound. It is better than no bandage, but it won't stop the bleeding in our economy, and it won't stop this virus.

In light of COVID-19 and the reaction to it, Congress urgently needs to lead by example and get into full session safely, but fully functional, laser focused, 24/7, in full compliance with the House rules for debate, amendment, and voting.

Every one of us has a duty to balance and consider public health and our economy, but every single one of us swore an oath to support and defend our Constitution, to defend freedom and represent our constituents.

It is time to support and defend it. It is time for us to occupy this House and man our duty station and win.

Mr. DAVIDSON of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).
