Schumer, Pelosi Joint Statement On Agreement With Administration On Interim Emergency Package
P
Here is a quote from the statement issued April 21 by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi focused on the the Paycheck Protection and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Programs.
P
“For small businesses: we have strengthened the Paycheck Protection Program with $310 billion in additional funding, with $30 billion reserved for community-based lenders, small banks and credit unions and $30 billion for mid-sized banks and credit unions. We are expanding small business support beyond PPP by securing $50 billion for SBA emergency disaster lending, translating into more than $350 billion in loans, and $10 billion in SBA emergency disaster grants. We have also secured strong protections to ensure that our nation’s farmers have access to this vital assistance.”“As soon as it has passed in the House, we will advance CARES 2, which must be transformative and far-reaching. CARES 2 must recognize that the key to getting Americans back to work and ensuring economic security is putting the health and safety of the American people first and defeating this terrible virus.”
