Speaker Pelosi. Good afternoon.
Thank you for being accommodating. We had important legislation on the Floor, and so thank you.
We have an – it's an interesting week, right? But today I just want to talk about two important things, both begin with a ‘c': the coronavirus and the Census.
Earlier this morning, some of us were together right in this very spot, talking about the Census and how it's starting now and we want everyone to participate. We want everybody in America to help define the size and the character of the quality and quantity, not only that, the beautiful diversity of America. And we want to help to avoid some of the attempts that are coming to undermine an accurate count.
