Before I yield to the gentlewoman from Wyoming, I just want to highlight that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a substitute teacher earning $11.07 an hour, if that substitute teacher's hours were cut back from 39 to 29 hours, she would lose $125 per week, or $6,484 per year, or nearly a 26 percent pay cut. These are the folks we are here fighting for. With that, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Wyoming (Mrs. Lummis).
