MARKING TODAY'S PPP DEADLINE
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the
Paycheck Protection Program, PPP, which has been crucial to helping
families, small businesses, and communities maintain and promote jobs.
President Donald Trump's leadership of achieving record job growth,
and now job recovery, is appreciated.
This program has helped 4.4 million small businesses procure loans,
and over $511 billion has been processed in aid. The deadline to apply
for the loans is today, and so far, these loans have been great news
for small businesses making a difference for jobs. I am thankful that
the Paycheck Protection Program has been so widely successful to
support small businesses and maintain jobs in the midst of the global
pandemic of the Wuhan virus.
Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never
forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
