ms. cantwell: thank you, mr. president. i'm here this afternoon to speak about the critical aspect of the paycheck act as it relates to businesses, particularly in the newspaper and broadcasting business. it is so important to us to address this issue because these are the people who are on the front line of delivering the information to us about this crisis. unfortunately in the past legislation, we did not include associations of broadcasters and newspapers under the definition. so up to several thousand newspapers and hundreds of local radio and televisions across the country are without existing programs by the small business affiliation rule to assist these companies in keeping important newsprint and news broadcasting staff at their jobs. when i think about what i've learned about the coronavirus from these individuals, when i've learned about the broadcast information of nursing home problems, when i've learned about issues with remdesivir, i all know that it came down to the local media who was telling us about it.
