Ms. Norton i wish to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. Ms. Norton mr. Speaker, we are already paying the price for the elimination by President Trump and the Republican Congress in 2018 of both the office and the emergency funding that president obama created to address outbreaks like the coronavirus. We are now experience coronavirus we are now experiencing. Starting on empty, trumps request for 2. 8 billion in emergency funding is not even in the bark of what experts say is needed. Already more than 100 cases have been reported nationwide. A vaccine will probably not be available for at least a year, yet 11 states are already reporting cases of the virus. The World Health Organization says the coronavirus can perhaps be contained, but, quote, the window of opportunity is narrowing, end quote. It will be to us in this house to act quickly this week and for the Republican Senate to follow suit. I yield back.

I seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. The speaker pro tempore without objection. The gentleman is recognized for one minute. Authorizing more money for californias highspeed rail, i call it high cost rail is a terrible idea. My house colleagues have forgotten how much of a disaster this project has been. This was sold as a 33 billion project and when we got it out it tripled to 1 billion and they said we will make it 65 billion and ballooned up and maybe almost double that when it gets done 30 years from now. It has been a boondoggle from day one sm the Trump Administration has canceled just under 1 billion that could have been going to that project. It could be used towards highways and bridges and we have a lot of traffic. Regular people can access and never afford a highspeed rail ticket to go from s. F. To l. A. Right now its in the central part of the state between orchards and hay fields. We shouldnt send another dollar and claw back the dollars that have been wasted because they have enough help to contract to the voters that voted this thing in. I yield back.
