WASHINGTON–The top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement after President Trump addressed the nation about the novel coronavirus:

“President Trump’s swift action to get medical supplies and aid to those who need it has protected Americans’ safety and well-being. Tonight’s message was a vital step towards reassuring the public that the government is making major strides, and more help is on the way. I look forward to working with my House colleagues on a bipartisan bill to ensure Americans can maintain their livelihoods, take care of their families, and remain healthy.”
