I commend you for the example that you have sent out for so many young women, including my two daughters.

The trouble is, workers never saw their share during the last economic boom but they are getting more than their share of the bust.

I'm glad we could get this hearing in early, because we need someone to hit the ground running at the Department of Labor from day one.

I look forward to working with you and to, hopefully, making the Department of Labor a true department of labor.
