Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Before I yield to Mr. Soto, I would just like to say to the distinguished minority leader, I know what it is to see people suffer in my district. I know what it is to see people die in my district. There was too much time spent recommending Lysol and Clorox and other remedies for people who are really, really ill. So today, I am very pleased that we are working together with the leader of our party to address the pain, the suffering, and the illness that is happening in our communities. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Soto).

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, before I proceed, may I inquire how much time each side has remaining.

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Mfume).

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to say that my friend on the other side of the aisle is my friend. We have worked together. We have faced many challenges. And I do hope that we can face this challenge with direct assistance now because, in my judgment, we cannot wait. As we close debate, the American people really have heard two visions: Democrats want to send additional aid to people, to the healthcare system, to students and our heroes. People are suffering. I see it in my district, and I am sure my friends have seen it in their districts. The Republican vision, which is wait and see, we will do something. The difference, to my friends, I want to make it clear: That is not an option. Mr. Speaker, 86,000 Americans have died; 36 million have lost their jobs. I see it every day. Just the other day I spoke to friends at a nursing home. Too many people are losing their lives. Mr. Speaker, today is the day. We have an opportunity to act now. Let's vote ``yes.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, pursuant to House Resolution 967, I call up the bill (H.R. 6800) making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and for other purposes, and ask for its immediate consideration.

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), my friend, the outstanding chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary.

Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Neal), my friend and the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, who came to Congress in the same class as I did.
