How well is SBA measuring its progress in achieving its goals and priorities related to the White House Initiative on HBCUs?

the purpose of today's hearing is to examine whether HBCUs are receiving adequate support from the Small Business Administration to help foster entrepreneurship.

Are you familiar with SBA's 2018 annual plan, which was developed in response to the White House initiative promoting excellence and innovation at historically black colleges and universities?

Thank you, Dr. Dillard.

What are the three single most important steps SBA can take to strengthen the engagements with HBCUs?

SBA programs are designed to provide small-business owners with the resources and tools that they need to succeed.

The thing that keeps me up at night is thinking about what would happen to the American family if a terrible emergency happened to them.

your personal perspective is very meaningful for us, and just emphasizes to us the need for paid family leave and child care.

I urge the House to act as soon as possible to ensure that these complying taxpayers are not penalized any further.

I have introduced H.R. 1300, the Taxpayer Penalty Protection Act, and I am pleased to announce that Senator Gillibrand introduced the Senate companion just yesterday.

I was fortunate enough to actually be in the California State Legislature in 2002 when we voted on the bill.

One in five taxpayers or 30 million families will under withhold if they do not immediately update their withholdings.

I have heard from so many families in my district that rely on their refunds to make ends meet, to pay down bills and to save for the future.

The Republican tax law made such severe changes to the Tax Code by eliminating such things as personal exemptions and capping the State and local tax deduction.

I represent Los Angeles, the heart of the film, television, and music industry. And also, I am Co-Chair of the congressional Creative Rights Caucus.

Well, I thank you for continuing to press on that issue in these trade negotiations.

How about the issue of whether the candidate has paid taxes or has avoided taxes?

I feel I must emphasize this because it so often gets wrapped up in policy debates that people don't consider birth control to be healthcare, but it is healthcare plain and simple.

Well, I am particularly concerned about what would happen to women's health if we did not have the ACA.

In the worst cases, some bad actors do not encourage recovery at all, but exploit vulnerable individuals in order to collect insurance payments.

Congresswoman Chu's bill, I think, is very promising. I like the setting of guidelines.

I appreciate that this subcommittee is examining the role of Sober Living Homes in our communities and how they contribute to the recovery process for those suffering from addiction.

However, the lack of regulation around the operation of these homes is of serious concern, which means that these facilities may be unequipped to handle patients at risk of overdose.

I worked with the National Alliance for Recovery Residences to craft legislation that would help address this problem without further victimizing the people we are trying to help.
