WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi said progress is being made toward a final agreement on
further COVID-19 aid, the No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer said
on Thursday, adding that he hoped a deal would be reached later
in the day.
    Hoyer, in an interview on MSNBC, said he had spoken with
Pelosi earlier on Thursday. "She thinks we're making real
progress," he said. "Hopefully, we will get to an agreement
today, put it on the floor, pass it and give some relief in this
crisis... let's hope we can get there."
