“We take our responsibility to support and protect our customers, colleagues, and the American people very seriously, especially during this critical time as our nation comes together to treat and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus in our country,” said EXIM President and Chairman Kimberly A. Reed. “EXIM, as part of a whole-of-government response, is focused on necessary, appropriate, and temporary efforts to support U.S. Government policy in fighting the coronavirus pandemic, including efforts to help ensure the United States has adequate supplies for the American people.”

In addition to the posting of this announcement on the EXIM website, the agency submitted a notice to the Federal Register as early as practicable given the urgent and exigent circumstances before the meeting.
