I would just note that this is a bipartisan effort. There are 227 cosponsors in the House, 8 Republicans. And again, we have had lots of engagement, accommodated a number of the issues that came up at the public hearing process. Again, I would just note that I appreciate the fact that the ranking member spoke highly of OSHA's volunteer guidelines, which I have in my hand here. Those are actually incorporated into the bill language for the interim final standard. So we are working exactly with the guidelines that she endorsed. Madam Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Khanna), an early advocate of this measure.
