I appreciate the opportunity to come and to try to clarify some of the assertions and confused claims that have been thrown out here. My family has been involved in construction since the 1930s--the 1930s. I will never forget the day--it…

Hence why I believe we need to pass H.R. 686.

I guess my question is--and I know this has come up repeatedly when you have appeared here--what is the active role that Treasury is taking when we are going into these negotiations?
