Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, I have no other speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, I thank Leader McCarthy for his strong and relentless leadership. I thank him for allowing each of us to bring to the table the pro-growth policies that brought about the strongest economy on the planet as we headed into this challenge. Thanks to our House leaders and to our ranking members on all the key committees: Representatives Granger and Foxx, Representatives Walden, McHenry, Cole, and Chabot. These are Members here today who have engaged in this historic agreement. Thanks to the professional teams who have backed us every moment, night and day, in this endeavor. I want to thank our Democratic colleagues for working with us on this bipartisan bill and our Republican colleagues in the Senate. I especially want to thank Secretary Mnuchin, the point man for President Trump on these negotiations, as well as all of the Cabinet and the White House economic team. I especially want to thank President Trump for his strong and results-oriented leadership at a time of unprecedented crisis for this great country. In times of challenge, I lean on this proverb: Fear knocked. Faith answered. No one was there. Coronavirus has knocked at America's door and with it fear. Faith is answering. We answer with faith in ourselves and our abilities, faith in our free enterprise system, faith in our amazing healthcare system, and, yes, faith that when the chips are down, Congress can come together with our President to help hardworking families and businesses when they need it most. We answer that door at this crucial moment with faith in our creator and faith in our great American spirit. This is the challenge of a lifetime, but if we keep pulling together and if we pass this bill today without delay, then we take another step toward that day when we answer the door and fear is no longer there. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of President Trump and the Republican Congress, we urge support for this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Montana (Mr. Gianforte).

Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks).

Mr. BRADY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Puerto Rico (Miss Gonzalez-Colon). Miss GONZALES-COLON of Puerto Rico. Mr. Speaker, the CARES Act ensures that all citizens in Puerto Rico are treated equally under the Federal grants and benefits incorporated in this bill, which I strongly support. Puerto Rico has been in lockdown since March 15, and more than 48,000 people lost their jobs already. This bill will help our small businesses, people, and the nutrition assistance program, as well as the health industry, to tackle those issues. Puerto Ricans are ready because we have the infrastructure of a great pharmaceutical and skilled workforce that stands ready to ramp up and deliver medications and devices when backed up by the Defense Production Act. We need to rebuild our American workforce in a domestic territory. That is the reason I thank the President and the leadership of the Senate and the House for putting together this economic health package to give our localities the resources to tackle this crisis affecting our Nation so we can focus on staying safe and healthy. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of it.
