                 ACT NOW TO SAVE OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS

  (Mr. ROSE of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. ROSE of New York. Mr. Speaker, over 125,000 Americans dead, 
economic destruction all around us, and cases spiking across the 
country.
  States and cities are facing budget gaps that are going to force our 
essential workers to get kicked to the curb, all because Mitch 
McConnell feels zero sense of urgency.
  Rent and mortgage payments due tomorrow.
  Taxes due in a few weeks.
  Small businesses hanging on for their dear life.
  And Mitch McConnell, sitting on his hands, caring only about 
politics.
  Mr. Speaker, what happened in my city is happening in Texas, Arizona, 
and Florida. These States need our help, too. This is about the people 
who saved our country, our essential workers, doctors, nurses, cops, 
firefighters.
  We passed the HEROES Act. Where is your bill, Mitch? Do something. Do 
your job because the rest of America is doing theirs right now.
