                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 16, 2020

  Mr. GRIJALVA. Madam Speaker, I would like to express my strong 
support for H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. It 
is imperative that we keep our communities safe from the coronavirus by 
protecting our health care workers and keeping our working families 
financially secure. This legislation signals to employers that they 
should urge their employees to stay home when sick--one of the most 
important things we can do to slow transmission. Making testing widely 
availability is vital to understanding the depth and course of the 
outbreak. The economic relief and safeguards for families, seniors, and 
children will help keep them healthy and allow appropriate social 
distancing.
  Had I been present, I would have voted
  YEA on Roll Call No. 102.
