Washington,
April 7, 2020
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), member of the House Rules Committee and Republican Leader of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health joined Mornings with Maria on Thursday. Here are the highlights: Question: “Is it too early to start adding more money to a potential fourth stimulus bill when it is really is not clear on how the third stimulus package will impact things?” Question: “If there is a fourth [relief] package should there be private partnerships in infrastructure? Burgess: “There’s no question [that] the need for significant infrastructure investment exists, because it did before the virus started … Now a good idea might be that we do our job for a change, do the regular order. If there’s a [an infrastructure] bill that’s needed, then [Congress] should do our work. We should do the hearings, we should assemble the data, come up with a number, pass it on the House floor, send it to the Senate and then see if the President will sign it … These response bills are to help people through a tough patch.” To watch the full interview, click here.
