York we have a much higher minimum wage and other states do as well. It does point out how a low minimum wage in the way People Choose unemployment instead of going to work that says volumes of what we need to do a better minimum wage. I do appreciate mr. Chair the moment to thank the two chairs here, obviously i have special regard for the chair of the Appropriations Committee a great new yorker and someone who has been working tirelessly on all of these issues. I very much appreciate your leadership. Particularly as it goes to states and local governments. Theyre working with colleagues to make sure state governments go with the need local and the governments get what they need thats been dramatic income derived from income there so many different issues to try to piece together enough healthcare assisting for testing all the things our Healthcare Professionals insist we need to do to get past the Public Health crisis and begin to rebuild the economy. Want to thank all of you the staff, i think is chairman lowy mentioned the fed chair is the worst thing we could do was underinvest right now pulls up short with the crisis the of not did not your credit and hopefully the house will act today and the house will act on friday and begin in earnest negotiation the senate realizes the urgency facing the American Public enjoins all of us in moving ahead. So thank you mr. Chair yelled back, thank you. Thank you, mr. Chair. First i want to say that chair woman lowy and chairman pallone i think theyve done a marvelous job on this. Your usual firstrate job my district is devastated by this virus. Just to give you an example of why the state and local money is important in the other money that is here for unemployment miami beach has about 90000 residents has 10 million visitors thats what had last year the restaurants cannot open up because i represent the hotels on the beach, the port of miami, the crews lines that came in, so all of those conventions and cruise lines florida now has 2 Million People who have applied for unemployment and in my district, almost everyone that was involved in anything related to the Hospitality Industry which probably is 80 of my district have lost their jobs and are applying for unemployment they are applying for ppp. I hope on ppp we can at some point talk about the transition for those restaurants they will not fully open up and they are concerned that if they open up and they only have 25 of the business because they have to spread people out, theyre still going to need some support. I think as we talk to Small Businesses, we need to learn some things about transition money as we are going through. The healthcare money thats here is critical. We do not have enough testing in this country and we have not even gotten around weve not even gotten around to Contact Tracing without those two things, my own judgment as were opening up too soon were not following cdc guidelines, i worry that we are going to need a lot more testing a lot more Contact Tracing, that we have not starved this virus to a point that theyre telling us were really ready to open it up. This investment and our teachers, and our police officers, and all of our in our fire officers, first responders, is absolutely critical. Not because we want the government to survives they have a say safety that institutions need that particularly individuals need during an extraordinary crisis like this one. I strongly support this bill, i could not be more worried about the future of the people of my district. This absolutely will help us. This absolutely will help us. So, thank you very much and i yield back. Think nobody else has questions i just want to say to both of you i want to thank you very much for being here and answering all of the questions. We are living in an unbelievable moment, a tragic moment in so many respects. We have an economic crisis, but we also have a health crisis. We are not going to solve the economic crisis until we deal effectively with the health crisis. What you have presented in the heroes act will deal with both. I want to thank you for your leadership, i want to thank you for your commitment, dedication to the American People want to thank you for being born. [laughter] i think these extraordinary times need extraordinary leaders and i think both of you live up to that. So thank you very much and you are now excused. Thank you. [laughter] before we get to our next witness i want to ask unanimous consent statement from representative regards to the heroes without objection for. And now we have one other witness from wisconsin. As soon as he moves, we can. [inaudible] frank,. [laughter] alright r8 you are recognized. Thank you very much will try to be brief today. Just one comment to lead off. I take this bill very seriously. Well i know this bill is not going to be signed into law may or june of this year, i think one would have to say a fairly good chance it could be signed into law february of next year. I think that is why this is important. This is going to very easily be something in the majority both the house and senate that is why this bill is so important. Its very possible by this Time Next Year to be signed into law i have three and benenson want to go to the mall quickly. The first one, i view this is built with two kinds of separate related problems when we have a healthcare problem which of the most important of the 22nd we have an economic problem. I do not think we are doing a good enough job of addressing the healthcare problem, therefore have the First Amendment for the center for Disease Control to report to congress by july 31 on the interrelationship of vitamin d and covid19. Im handing out for you folks to articles, one called the science tech daily one is one bite northwest now, showing adequate doses of vitamin d has had a dramatic impact on the number of peoples who get an even more at the number of people who die from covid19 in europe. I do not feel we are focusing at all on that scene down the road we are not doing enough of a job of focusing on a more natural sort of cure at this time. To a certain extent i blame the cdc for that which is why i am asking them to address this issue. If you look at fatalities in place like sweden, norway, finland and denmark and compared to fatalities in spain and italy, one of the big differences is the amount of vitamin d. Tim poured that were encouraging people to take vitamin d supplement, also report in regard to vitamin d like you were told we were children, get outside and get some sun. Right now, a lot of governors, shelter in place is encouraging people to stay out of the sun. Hopefully, the cdc can look into this a little bit and hopefully we get some press telling people back home if you dont to die from covid, make sure you got your vitamin d levels up. There is one. I know we all read stuff, but it is worthwhile, and that local Radio Station and save some lives. The next two amendments are regard to economic situations the first is regard to the ppp were asking the Small Business administration to come up with a more exact guidance out of the Paycheck Protection Program is my belief or spending more on that program than is necessary. I know other people in this building that dont care how much we spend but believe it or not it should matter and i will argue that, thousand democrat id argue Even Stronger but there are some people getting this program should not be getting this program. Not to mention under all cases, and sure weve all got constituent contacts, people do not know if theyre eligible or not. I am afraid there are people who are going to find out five or six or even eight months from now they got a loan they should not be getting or could be penalized in any event thats amendment number two. Amendment number three deals with an issue that representative lesko just brought up. We are already having a problem in my district that people are being paid more not to work and then to work it is a problem for businesses that reopen up probably the biggest mistake in that big bill we passed over a month ago now was adding 600 a week to unemployment. In wisconsin, that means you are getting paid on an annual basis about 50000 a year to not work. I dont know whether the people put that thing and were intentionally trying to destroy the economy or not, cant think of a quicker way to destroy the economy is to pay people more not to work then to work for it to the amendment takes at 600 back in with the reader dollars and no longer extends it passed july 31. Something has really got to be done. I really cannot imagine the economy taking off if youre paying more people not to work then to work. I will point out, there is a benefit to not working too. I think most people a lot of people would rather not work for 50000 that work for 70000. This is a problem we have in wisconsin as we tried to get the economy going again. I hope you guys make that adjustment. With more observation with ppp in unemployment, eventually there will be a compromise on this bill with the senate. One of the problems around here is when the republicans and democrats get together, the compromise they reach is i will spend more on your program if you spend more in my program. Okay, thats why we are so in debt. He looked at the ppp and unemployment maybe somebody doesnt negotiation and approach with i will spend less on my program if you spend less on your program. Thanks much, sure you guys have been here since 11 this morning i thought it would get the three admen its pretty quick. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you for your patience. You waited an awful long time and we appreciate pretty also appreciate your attitude which is always very constructive. I thank you very much, i have no questions just quickly want to associate myself with your remarks i appreciate my friends patients of being here its been a very long time for you and these are thoughtful suggestions and i appreciate very much the manner in which you always present that which is short and to the point. Certainly hope they are given serious consideration by the committee, mr. Chairman tracy mack any questions on the democratic side . Esther woodall. Thank you, mr. Chairman i just wanted to thank glenn for being here it reminds me of something that was said earlier you cant just sit back and wait for the amendments to be made in order, if got to get out there to fight and happen here we are the 3 trilliondollar bill ive got someone who is shown up to say what is in page upon page scores of pages hundreds of patients, i have three ideas i think it make them better. I think we need more of this participation opposed to last. As ms. Torres was rewarded for her unwillingness to take no for an answer she fought for her constituents. I hope we will be able to do the same thing i thank you for being here, youll back. Any other questions . Think of a much youre free to go. You want to say or. On this vitamin d, they dont say how many lives would be saved but i bet that death rate wouldve been cut by 20 or 25 if everyone had enough vitamin d. You want to submit those articles will record . There up there. Without objection. Are there anyone else would like to testify seeing none discloses a hearing. At this time.

Thank you very much. You heard that motion from the gentlewoman from california is there amendment or discussion . Mr. Cole. Two thank you we will have a lot fewer amendments than previously i would like to move forward open rule on h resin 965 is you know from a have considerable concerns about that. Lately our entire side of the aisle does we would like our members have the opportunity to try to modify this rule and other members who may have good ideas on your site of the aisle to contribute as well. We move for an open rule on h res 965. So i appreciate theres an hour and half between each vote that will take us into next year. But any event i appreciate the effort i would urge no vote, the vote is now on the coal amendment although say i oppose no the nos have it roll call please. [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] [roll call] degrees of further amendments would all. I have two amendments if you would entertain a question im looking at page five instruction for members authorized proxy announcing instructions medially prior line 24 immediately prior to casting about early recording the designated proxy in this resolution the member shall seek recognition from the chair to announce the intended vote or the recorded president pursuant to instruction received from the member. Im thinking about the rules committee intimate tomorrow. Youre going to finish her closing statement, youre going to move to previous question, how do i come as a ranking file never get the attention of the chair to make my announcement about all the votes i will be casting on the previous question vote . Im afraid the wording could be wrong about the pics that appear today. So during the vote, the vote will be announced and then by the member and by the clerk. In both during pretwo as the electronic voting is rolling on . Okay alright, that is whats anticipated and i do not have an amendment weight i do have an amendment to make the resolution that is divisible. We heard from the leader that he was not a big fan of proxy voting but he wanted to get too remote to voting. Novembers of my side of the aisle have a lot of different opinions i think the more bipartisan this vote is the better. Folks who disagree cant just vote yes but if you allow for the division of the question there are different priorities here how do we make the committees work . How to make the floor work . Should we move to remote voting . To make hearings work . To make proxies work . Mine would allow us to divide the question. Again if the majority has the votes to push everything through, but you very well might get more bipartisan support this bite my objection to proxy voting. But not all of my colleagues feel as i do a large bipartisan vote the better for the institution on this measure. I would provide for the division of question. Okay. [laughter] the vote is on the gentlemans amendment. All of those in favor im just having trouble hearing think these elastics are pulling my ear song of heaven hard time hearing. All those in favor say i oppose no the nos have it. Roll call please. The clerk call role.

Chairman i have an amendment to the rule i moved the committee provide for four hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and Ranking Member of the committee
