                     A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY THEORY

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, Nancy Pelosi is dragging the entire House 
of Representatives back here to Washington, D.C., on taxpayer dollars 
for an unnecessary political vote.
  Speaker Pelosi is choosing to vote on a political conspiracy theory 
regarding the United States Postal Service. Instead, the House should 
be working on commonsense COVID-19 legislation to address liability 
protections for States, counties, cities, schools, nonprofits, and 
businesses that are trying to reopen.
  This bill is nothing more than an attempt to utilize the courts to 
shut down the 2020 election.
  We need to stop wasting time on a sham political vote like H.R. 8015, 
because, in reality, House Democrats are the ones trying to scare the 
American people, blame President Trump, and, yes, undermine the 2020 
election results.
  In these days and weeks before the election, Democrats are clearly 
desperate.

  Why can't we focus on providing COVID-19 relief, small business 
support, infrastructure, and rural broadband?
