John Kline: “In an effort to balance the speakers on each side, I will reserve the balance of my time.”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the witnesses for being with us today. Excellent testimony, as we're trying to solve the problem that some of us have been dealing with for a long time.

Republicans and Democrats have a history of bipartisan cooperation on this issue.

Former Chairman John Kline, while recognizing that the overtime threshold should be responsibly reformed, called the administration's drastic move extreme and partisan.

We owe it to them to set aside our political differences and come to the table to find a bipartisan solution that secures their future.
