                              CORONAVIRUS

  Mr. THUNE. Madam President, before I begin, I want to acknowledge the 
tremendous news released yesterday that early results of a COVID 
vaccine are showing a greater than 90 percent rate of effectiveness. 
This is great news and a testament to the innovative power of the 
private sector and the efforts of Congress and the Trump administration 
to expedite the development of COVID vaccines.
  The trial for this vaccine will continue, and FDA approval will be 
required, but these early results are very, very encouraging. It has 
been a tough year for Americans and people all over the world, but 
hopefully this is a sign that the light at the end of the tunnel is 
coming.
