  Mr. MULLIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the CARES Act. We
are in the middle of an unprecedented public health crisis and the
American people need help.
  Over the past two weeks, I have had countless calls with
constituents, and they have all said the same thing: they're hurting.
Our small businesses, our farmers and ranchers, our teachers, our
Tribal governments, our health care workers, and first responders on
the front lines--we are all hurting right now.
  While this bill won't fix all their problems, it brings them some
much-needed relief and confidence that the federal government is taking
action to combat this crisis.
  In Oklahoma, we call it the Oklahoma Standard. Neighbors helping
neighbors through hard times. Together, as a country, we will help our
neighbors and get through this together.
  I support this bill and look forward to continuing to work with the
Administration
