hoyer: reclaiming my time. what i think is we are showing that we intend to do our work and intend to do it with the safety of our members, safety of our staff and safety witnesses and safety much committee members. i will tell you mr. smith and i had discussion. he is going to be talking to his ranking member and i expect to have a markup and i expect that markup to be in person. mr. scalise: i would share the gentleman's hope that would happen. he resolution that pro forma until july 21, instead we would be. >> we are in session and i expect to be in session on the 27th and 28th and the committees will be considering legislation so we will have product to do. we are behind schedule. i want to accomplish much of the work as a regular order of business in thener term. >> as majority leader hoyer mentioned, house will not conduct legislative's nest next week. they will return on may 27 and may 28 to take up pfizer legislation which has already passed the senate. as well as additional coronavirus related bills. -

hoyer: thank you, madam speaker. as we face the crisis that covid-19 has confronted with us, the house must do so in a way that contributes to the safety and welfare of our people and not that harms it. there will be no votes expected in the house next week. members are further advised in an updated 2020 legislative calendar will be released in the coming days. i expect conversations to continue on additional legislation addressing covid-19 and the legislation we passed honoring our heroes. in the event that an agreement is reached on a bipartisan or partisan bill, then we will make sure that the house has 72 hours before they need to come back to vote on that legislation. i'm disappointed that leader mcconnell said when asked about the next phase of the next coronavirus relief, he said that is a decision to be made a month from now. as we know, we have a lot of people in places, we seafood lines that are very, very long. we see unemployment rising steeply. there are many people in this country that think waiting is

hoyer, is recognized for one minute. r. hoyer: thank you, madam speaker. all of us, of course, were deeply saddened by the passing our friend, elijah cummings, last year. was a giant of moral strength unquestioned integrity. n his 24 years in office, elijah built a reputation for legislative skill, excellence in constituent service, and unyielding energy for rooting out corruption in government and fighting tirelessly for justice, quality and opportunity. he served his constituents in maryland's seventh congressional well.ct and today, madam speaker, they his ending someone to take place whom i believe is an excellent choice. dean of the maryland congressional delegation, it is to welcome the house's newest member, kweisi mfume. not new to the house. body, a eteran of this skilled and experienced legislator who represented maryland's seventh district from 1987 to 1996. the he left to become naacp,l president of the e-lidgea cummings -- elijah to succeed chosen mr. mfume. ow as we continue to mourn elijah's passing, we welcome mfume back to his old seat, to

so the bottom line is, as 34r hoyer pointed out, we had our calls through various platforms hoyer pointed out, we had our calls through various platforms. we could participate virtually. and so we want everybody to be able to participate. those who can be here should be here. and those who can't can participate virtually. the supreme court is taking arguments right now, you know, swrirn virtually. i don't know why we can't. >> and the flip side of that, the united states senate is meeting consistently right now and i don't know why we can't. but -- >> they are having a virtual hearing. >> in a hybrid way. which the minority leader said that he would like to be a part of. mr. leader, please. >> excuse my. i have had this cough for three years. it is allergies. >> but you feel a little more suspicious now. >> that's right. why didn't they get to a resolution? if you ask, they will say they failed. w did they fail? because the threat was concept all. and let me suggest to you one of the problems that we have today is that although people conce conceptually raise the pandemic that it happened

steny hoyer told democrats they wouldn't vote on it before friday and we're looking to see if it gets released from house leaders today in order to give members some time to review it and 72 hours to travel back to d.c. to vote on it by friday. the core of the bill would be 82 state and local governments which are suffering from a massive revenue losses that depend on sales tax for most of their revenue and most stores are closed. that amount for state and local governments could approach $1 trillion and they're also looking significantly at a new round of cash payments of individuals and that would be another round of the $1200 checks and we are not clear on the amount and whether it would be recurring and they're calling for them to be quarterly below unemployment crops. >> what's the comfort level amongst republicans? >> republicans are starting to resurrect some of the earlier deficit concerns. already the national debt is looking to -- i mean, the national budget deficit is looking to approach $5 trillion this year. so a massive increase and there is some concern. the key issue,

guest: that is a suggestion that leader mccarthy gave to hoyer in the first meeting of our bipartisan task force that was put together after the proxy voting process was held. remember, washington, d.c. as we knew it on march 13, it is not the same today around capitol hill. restaurants are closed. you cannot walk into the capital building and see a flood of staffers, let alone people visiting. it is virtually barren. so if we are sending people back to committee hearings on a rotating basis, you can get a lot of stuff done because there is nobody around. you can make sure that you focus on the committee duties. we have important bills we need to pass in a bipartisan way, like the national defense authorization act. we need to come back for appropriations bills. we should be able to have our subcommittees meet on a basis that they can come and really drill down and focus on the work ahead, along with the committee i serve on, transportation and infrastructure. we have a resources bill and highway reauthorization that we can come back to, we can socially distance, utilize the house flo

have reaction u to leader hoyer's remarks that the g.o.p. senate is already basically proxy voting with unanimous consent, get your reaction to that? no.mccarthy: anybody can object in here. when you finding is have 75 democrats put a vote to somebody else, their aren't being heard. they don't know what's coming up. they are not participating in it. unconstitutional. yes, sir. reporter: what's the practical effect of the lawsuit? ou are not going to stop the proxy vote happening today. what do you -- a mccarthy: it's playing baseball game in a protest. at the end of the game we'll right. figure out who's whatever the democrats move forward, probably will never law.e uphold to become it's a question whether the senate will take it up, if you listen to leader mcconnell. he questions even the constitutionality of what we're going forward. example.ve you one what if we have a bill come forward and in the process, what speaker pelosi puts in this proxy, that members have to sign over and 20 people can have all power, because they can all hold 10

hoyer and the rest of my colleagues on this committee. this is an unprecedented proposal and it will fundamentally change the way the house of representatives can craft, consider and vote on legislation. the process that led to this hearing is unacceptable to me. after a previous failed attempt to bring similar rules, change package to the floor last month we on our side were hopeful and leadertic just like hoyer was that the work of a bipartisan task force to get house back to work would result in a genuine willingness toward bipartisan agreements. we republicans on the task force offered realistic framework and a plan to make responsible measured thorough reforms to get the entire house working again to perform our essential functions on behalf of the american people who elected us to represent them and thank you for including somef of our lesuggestions in that proposal. as a leader hoyer mentioned there were others that we put forth in this framework and our suggestions and i would argue, mr. leader, we wouldn't have to minorityaker pe
