So I think an emergency response is important to ensure that people can start staying home immediately if that is what their medical providers are recommending to them.

Similar to Wisconsin, my home State of California is making some great strides in expanding this apprenticeship model to the K-12 system.

Those conversations with high school faculty is really critical.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Chairwoman Davis and Ranking Member Smucker, for this bipartisan hearing.

It is an act of faith to take care and love for a child, and so it is because of our faith, not in spite of it, that we oppose these discriminatory measures.

We need to make a distinction between the public square and public accommodation and entities that are supported by Federal dollars.

I want to thank my colleague, Mike Kelly, for being here today. I know his beliefs are sincerely held. But I believe they are profoundly misguided and will create real damage to families like mine.

I again urge all of my colleagues to pass H.R. 4852. Our veterans deserve to have the most accurate information available to them as they are making their choices about the institutions where they would like to use their GI Bill. Madam…

I urge all of my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 4613, as amended, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano) that the House…

In closing, I want to reiterate my support for H.R. 561. I want to appreciate the work with the minority. We have worked together to pass these five pieces of legislation on the floor. It is another demonstration of our commitment to put…

We need to ensure that the conversation about paid family leave includes robust wage replacement, expanded protections to allow more workers to qualify, and more importantly, an assurance of job protection without penalty if someone…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong support of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act. I rise in support of unions and millions of workers fighting for higher wages, better benefits, and safe working conditions. For…

I have no further speakers. I ask my colleagues to join me in passing H.R. 4305, as amended, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Garcia of Illinois). The question is on the motion offered by the gentleman…

Today's testimony will show that VA recognizes how much these violent crimes affect the well-being of our veterans.

However, the Department must demonstrate that it is doing everything it can to provide survivors with the services they need and deserve.

Thank you, Chairwoman Bonamici, for this very important hearing.

It is unacceptable that four women veterans, 1 in 4 women veterans experiences sexual or gender harassment at VA facilities.

Well, what recourse if any does the EEOC have to hold these companies accountable in the gray area?

A post-hiring review.

While we should not fear technology and the wonders of using it to increase productivity and efficiency, we cannot move toward a society where everything from employment to housing are guided by systems that are largely unchecked.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. I want to point out to the gentleman that my amendment pertains to records of arrests that appear on consumer reports that did not lead to a conviction, so, what is recorded on the report is an arrest…

We believe in those instances where there has been an arrest and there is a pending trial, so the arrest shows up on their record and there is a pending trial, we think it is a very small number of cases. I do agree with the gentleman from…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 143, after line 8, insert the following: (c) Prohibition on Inclusion of Arrest Information if There…

Is the gentleman concerned about the pending arrest? Mr. McHENRY. Yes.
