Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, this economic relief package is for small businesses, finally.

I am proud that we also secured $25 billion to expand testing, with $11 billion to increase State and local testing capacity; $1 billion for the CDC, $1.8 billion for the NIH, $1 billion for BARDA, money for the Food and Drug Administration and money for community health centers. This is not everything we wanted.

Next, we need relief for States and localities, SNAP benefits, paid family leave and paid sick days, and the expansion of the Child Tax Credit. Vote ``yes'' to continue working for people.
