I have no additional speakers, and I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing, I would like to again thank the gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Heck), my friend, for bringing this bill forward. I would like to thank Chairman Kline…

I, too, have no additional speakers. I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for his work on this issue. It is a pleasure working with him in committee. I once again ask all of my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 5588 and the…

I am co-Chair of the Battery Energy Storage Caucus and have a particular interest in energy storage and what we can do as policymakers to support and spur innovation in this industry.

It seems to me that the VA Assistant Secretary Michaud could really use your help in identifying and making known things like the TAP refresher course.

Veterans often say that a TAP refresher after 6 months from separating from the military is beneficial to them.

I want to thank you for your service as a Marine and thank all the gentlemen who have served our country.

And while we have made significant progress, we all need to do more to make sure that every veteran job seeker is able to find work that pays well.

Veteran unemployment is at a historic low at 3.4 percent overall, down from 5 percent this time last year.

Soledad wrote in support of the rule saying, 'I work as a salaried employee and always work more than my regular 40 hours a week.'

The overtime rule is one of the most significant actions the administration has taken to support working families and fight income inequality.

This update will directly benefit my colleague, Mr. Allen's state, by 493,000.

The Department of Labor's update to the overtime rule is long overdue and, according to the Economic Policy Institute, would benefit 1,076,000 working people in my home state of California.

So that's a yes, you do pledge to cooperate with our requests?

The Members of this Committee, the citizens of Oklahoma, and the American people have a right to know to what extent your office has been passing off the work product of Devon Energy or potentially other organizations as the views of the…

I would've hoped that the majority would want to conduct investigations based on facts and not simply engage in political theater.

I think it's important to understand outside groups 'colluding' with Attorneys General or any elected official, that there's a false equivalency being presented here...

I hope that we can work together on both sides of the aisle to promote a number of strategies to deal with this vector.

This is a great example of how basic scientific research in a laboratory has these very practical effects.

It is high time that we updated the overtime rule, and I am very, very eager to see what the President does today.

The Internet Association applauds your efforts to highlight the work that Internet companies do for transitioning veterans.

Engine commends you for holding today's hearing entitled 'Veterans in Tech: Innovative Careers for All Generations of Veterans.'
