bennet: thank you, madam president. i, too, would like to thank leader schumer and the ranking member of the finance committee, senator wyden for bringing this commonsense proposal to the floor. i have long advocated for the idea that we should tie benefits to the conditions of the economy rather than to just simply politically convenient dates or inconvenient dates that don't matter, don't make any sense to working people in our country. and create idiotic fights here that don't help the people that we have been sent here in theory at least to serve. and right now, we are facing an unprecedented set of conditions in our country. we are being wracked by an economic downturn that's different from any that we have ever seen before and at the same time we're facing this incredible health crisis. one in six workers in this country are unemployed. one in six workers is unemployed today. but for once, thankfully, we are able to come together in a bipartisan way in march and pass the cares act which is benefiting these workers

earlier, i spoke to professor catherine bennet, chair in epidemiology at deakin university. government responded so firmly to the latest spike. we had done an extra ordinary job, really, in suppressing covid within australia. and that led to low numbers of deaths, you know, 105 deaths over that period. so we know suppression can work, and putting all that effort in now is really about trying to return to where we were and achieving the goal, which is really protecting lives, at the end of the day, knowing that we can achieve it. and do we know where this originated, this latest number of cases? so, the concern is that this is a reintroduction of covid into melbourne. the genomic work suggests that most of the virus circulating now responsible for the latest cases has come from a traveller. so it looks like we've had a serious breach of our front—line defences, if you like, with travellers in the quarantined hotels and infection amongst some of the security guards. and probably, you know, multiple guards positive at the same time, taking this back to the different parts of ou

in addition, i'm joining with a number of my colleagues, krysten gillibrand, michael bennet, chris coons and others, in an effort to try to expand the medical and health care personnel necessary to make sure that we finally bring this virus to bay. we are going to try to include this in the covid-19 legislation. i have legislation that senator rubio, republican of florida, and i have cosponsored that would enhance the training of national health service, doctors, nurses and dentists and medical professionals, mental health counselors and the like. i think our bill is a step forward because it provides scholarship assistance to those who will pledge years of service to the national health service corps once they have graduated and are licensed. we need that chris coons has talked about expanding the opportunity for americans to step forward and serve their nation, doing contact tracing and other things essential. it would create thousands and thousands of jobs across the united states at a time when we desperately need them for a cause that we must concur ultimately. these are good things

we are glad this issue is receiving attention and a legislative efforts, for example, senator bennet from colorado recently introduced the bridge act which would include $1 billion for tribals for broadband deployment. thank you. >> thank you, chairwoman. so now -- am i going to go to fred? ranking member -- okay. i recognize the gentleman from michigan for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and appreciate the hearing. i got really a couple of questions. what to congratulate you first on your primary win last night, so i'm glad you're resting comfortably after your landslide victory. just would like to say as we look at the $8 billion that was in the cares act, treasury had 30 days to disperse the money but because of the delays in getting the money to drive involving litigation with the alaskan native corporation, we have real issues trying to find, to follow the guidance regulations that were provided by the treasury. treasury is requesting all the recipients of cares to submit what they're spent the money on so far. i know that it's somewhat unique year in terms of what's h

of us, both democrats and republicans, have been working on for years, including senator murray, bennet, jones, king, collins, whitehouse, gardner, cornyn, stabenow, tillis, and hassan. so you see there is an unusual amount of bipartisan support for both of these ideas. experts before the senate education committee have testified that simplifying the fafsa this way would remove obstacles that would make it easier for low-income americans to attend colleges and would increase the number of pell grants each year. last fall, congress and the president took the first step in simplifying the fafsa while allowing the i.r.s. to answer 22 questions for which applicants for grants and loans had already answered on their tax returns. 20 million american families who struggle to fill out this essential but unnecessarily complex fafsa will be grateful to congress if we complete the job of simplifying the federal aid application system at the same time we make it simpler for 43 million americans to pay back their student loans. now, mr. president, there is one more piece of good news in this proposa

well as senator rubio on the republican side, myself, senator schumer, senator menendez and senator bennet on the democratic side. we worked hard and passed that measure through the senate judiciary committee, and on the floor by a vote of 68-32. so what i am proposing is something i have proposed in the past, crafted, passed, and offered to the house of representatives to start to solve the immigration crisis which we currently have in this country. unfortunately the republicans who control the house of representatives when this measure came before them several years ago refused to even take up this measure and debate it. if they had, we wouldn't be here today. the green card backlog would not exist based on a provision which i offered with others in the comprehensive immigration reform. unfortunately, some of my republicans on the other side of the aisle are still unwilling to increase any number of non-- rather immigrant visas. they want to keep the immigrant workers on a temporary basis where they and their family are at risk of losing their immigration status and being deported. the s

we'll talk about that in a moment, but let's head to sheffield now and join seth bennet outside the crucibleseth, what have the fans made of it? i soak into fans who were pretty excited about the bit of history that they were going to come in here and have the opportunity to see a little bit but what could they possibly be with the last live sporting event for fans to - for some for a chance for them they thought. for a chance for them see some of the biggest names in to see some of the biggest names in sneaker. at that historic theatre. interesting watching fans drifting in and many of them are wearing masks, and all of them having greeted as they enter into the area outside the crucible theatre and washing their hands with sanitising gel before they start to head back in. the crucible and world snooker hope they have fans come back in at the back of the tournament but after the back of the tournament but after the thing tonight, not sure what will happen. 0k, thank you for that and for the slight sound and agelegies fer the slight mgflf . .,,. . issues there eh!!! eeeteeiee fer the etieht s

a bipartisan piece of legislation that i introduced with senator bennet, we now have somewhere north 42, 44 bipartisan cosponsors. we have 50 national groups and growing that are supportive of this legislation. and it's very important that these features remain in the heals act. now, like my restart act, the heals act recognizes the need for long-term working capital loans. and targeting that relief towards businesses that have suffered significant revenue decline. we don't want more examples of businesses that are doing just fine in the wake of the pandemic getting access to moneys that frankly they don't need. instead, we want to target our resources towards the hardest hit businesses that won't survive this pandemic. that's what the restart act does. and i'm proud of those features that were included. however, i have to say in order to truly assist the hardest-hit small and medium size enterprises that have fallen through the grabs of previous programs, more of the restart act is going to have to be included throughout this negotiation process. last night i received a text from a
