THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, Governor Edwards. Thank you for the thorough briefing that we received today from your healthcare team.
And I just want to express the appreciation of President Donald Trump and our entire White House Coronavirus Task Force for the partnership that we have forged from the very early days of the coronavirus pandemic.

I want to thank the members of Congress for their strong support. And were going to take what we hear today and sit down with members of Congress and determine what other resources might be necessary so we can continue to open up Louisiana, open up Louisiana schools, and, as President Trump often says, not only take one step closer to that day when we put the coronavirus in the past, but that we bring Louisiana back bigger and better, more prosperous and healthier than ever before.
So I thank you, Governor, very much.
With that, Id be happy to recognize the Secretary of Education, who joined us here today for this discussion, Betsy DeVos.
