,,iv  #aafth ,,congress  #b;d ,session  
,h4 ,,res4 #hig  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,march #ab1         
#bjbj,ms4 ,gabbard submitted the        
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,ways and ,means  
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives that     
there should be a direct emergency      
economic stimulus for individual        
,americans in response to ,,covid-#ai4  
,whereas the ,,covid-#ai has rapidly    
spread throughout the entire world1     
creating a widespread outbreak that has 
been deemed a public health emergency in
 the ,united ,states and has been       
declared a global pandemic by the ,world
 ,health ,organization2 ,whereas        
,,covid-#ai has created a threat to the 
,american public and the economic       
stability of our ,nation1 and ,american 
families will require immediate economic
 relief to survive the short- and       
long-term effects of the outbreak2      
,whereas ,,covid-#ai poses an especially

 high health threat1 which has led to   
numerous safety measures that1 by       
necessity1 will keep people away from   
their daily routines and activities1    
such as going to work1 school1 shopping 
for food and medicine1 and other        
impactful economic activities1          
triggering an economic slowdown1 which  
will heavily affect many industries2    
,whereas these necessary safety measures
 inevitably will economically hurt our  
working-class and low-income families1  
many of whom will not be able to go to  
work because they or their loved ones   
are infected or quarantined1 or because 
they are caring for an individual       
affected by closures triggered by the   
outbreak2 ,whereas thousands of         
,american families will require direct  
economic relief that will immediately   
affect their ability to purchase        
medicine and other essential goods and  
services1 also enabling them to continue
 contributing to the economy2 ,whereas  
the ,federal ,government should more    

readily provide and prioritize direct   
economic relief for the ,american       
people1 the majority of which are living
 paycheck to paycheck1 rather than      
bailing out ,wall ,street banks and     
large corporations and industries2 and  
,whereas every individual taxpayer      
should receive the direct assistance    
necessary to weather the effects of this
 global pandemic1 and ,congress must    
ensure that individuals most impacted by
 this crisis will receive economic      
relief to address their financial needs1
 including assistance with mortgage     
payments1 student loans1 and other debt 
obligations3 ,now1 therefore1 be it     
,that it is the sense of the ,house of  
,representatives that-- 7#a7 the        
,federal ,government should create and  
provide an emergency ,universal ,basic  
,payment of #a1jjj per month available  
to all ,americans until the ,department 
of ,health and ,human ,services declares
 that the ,,covid-#ai outbreak no longer
 presents a public health emergency2    

7#b7 the ,universal ,basic ,payment     
should be a temporary economic stimulus 
package aimed to empower ,americans     
directly and immediately2 and  7#c7 the 
,payment should be made to every ,united
 ,states citizen above the age of #ah   
years and should be nontaxable4
