                       FUNDING FRONTLINE WORKERS

  (Mr. CARTWRIGHT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, it is a horrible time our Nation is 
going through right now. One hundred thousand souls perished in this 
worldwide pandemic.
  And through it all, every day, frontline workers are going to work; 
frontline workers like truck drivers, garbage collectors, nurses, and 
EMTs, and everybody getting our groceries to us, slugging it out, doing 
their job day in and day out. And through it all they are not getting 
anything extra but their regular pay.
  That is why I introduced the Coronavirus Frontline Workers Fair Pay 
Act, and I was thrilled to see that get incorporated in the HEROES Act.
  I call upon Mitch McConnell and the Senate, get off the schneid and 
get to work and pass this. The American economy needs this relief, and 
we need you to stop delaying and pass this economic stimulus in the 
HEROES Act.
