  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, despite the hardships and headaches 
and heartaches that so many families are experiencing right now, there 
are countless acts of kindness that show humanitarian goodness taking 
place in the entire country, but I notice them across my State of Iowa. 
From rainbow art decorating windows to inspirational chalk messages on 
sidewalks, Iowans are donating their time, talent, and treasure to 
support local businesses, food pantries, and grab-and-go meals for 
students.
  As just one example, the residents of a retirement community are 
sewing 35 to 40 masks per day for healthcare professionals and laundry 
service workers at the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics. They are 
also supplying local food banks and others who need them in their 
community. The Iowa City senior threaders are among the countless 
silver linings that are lighting America's path to recovery.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader is recognized.
