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.
Former Chairman John Kline, while recognizing that the overtime threshold should be responsibly reformed, called the administration's drastic move extreme and partisan.
There is nothing fair or excusable about a 75-year-old retiree with health care concerns finding out that the pension he was promised just isn't funded.
I cannot State emphatically enough that far-reaching reform, fiscal responsibility, and bipartisanship must be the principles that guide us as we work to solve this problem.
