BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this legislation. The American people are hurting, half a million people are dead, tens of millions have gotten sick. Millions have lost their jobs, businesses have shut down, many closed forever, and kids can't go to school. Families are without food and behind on their rent.

This bill provides direct payments to Americans and helps small businesses and restaurants. It provides crucial funding for State and local governments, funding for vaccines, childcare, and critical funds to get our kids back safely to school.

Mr. Speaker, I urge everyone to vote for this bill, the American people are counting on us.
