This legislation will require OSHA to issue a standard within 42 months that would mandate employers to provide both indoor and outdoor workers exposed to excessive heat with the protections they need.

I am thrilled that the Subcommittee is now holding a hearing on this topic.

As Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Investigations, Oversight, and Regulations, I, along with my colleague, Ranking Member Spano, are responsible for performing oversight of Federal programs that affect small business.

I hope the Committee will continue to move the Asuncion Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act forward.

Well, that is--that is really incredible.

I carried a bill in the California legislature to require water, shade, and rest periods to protect all outdoor workers.

That is why during this hearing, we will also assess H.R. 3668, the Asuncion Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act of 2019, introduced by Representative Judy Chu, who will testify today.

The bill we introduced yesterday similarly establishes a Federal standard for heat stress protections.

It is time that the rest of the country's workers are equally protected.

This is why we also support the legislation by Congresswoman Chu and Congressman Grijalva to require OSHA to create a heat stress standard.

Sunshine is said to be the best disinfectant, and we can now begin the process of rebuilding the public's trust.

This drove us to take action. After a string of heat deaths in 2005, the UFW worked with now Representative Judy Chu and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to issue the first comprehensive regulations in the Nation to protect farm workers and…

Do you believe that rising student loan debt has created an incentive for independent providers to sell their practices to hospitals?

I have introduced the Post-Grad Act, a bill which would reinstate subsidized Federal loans for graduate students.

My legislation, H.R. 2958, the Increasing Access to Mental Health in Schools Act would reduce the cost of post-graduate education for mental health professionals that work in high-need schools and it would help address the shortage of…

House Democrats last Congress passed the Aim Higher Act, a comprehensive reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.

So next month, I plan on reintroducing my Reuniting Families Act which has a provision to recapture unused employment-based visas from 1992 to 2016.

I plan on reintroducing my Reuniting Families Act which has a provision to recapture unused employment-based visas from 1992 to 2016.

Clearly, something needs to be done to clear the backlogs, and even though there is this backlog, the visas that are not used are not rolled over into the next year.

my Reuniting Families Act would raise the per country cap from 7 percent to 20 percent, and I think it would help to solve this backlog problem in a very big way.

Well, I have run out of time so I would like to now call upon the Ranking Member, Mr. Spano, for 5 minutes.

the Community Advantage Program provides mission-based lenders... access to loan guarantees under the general 7(a) program for loans of $250,000 or less.

this is even more difficult for women, minority, and veteran entrepreneurs, as well as small businesses looking to revitalize the rural parts of our country.

we are focused on making sure that small businesses... can access the capital they need to start, grow, and create new jobs.

This flies in the face of the GAO's findings that SBA had no plans to regularly monitor them.
