Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks for holding the hearing. Thank you, Dr. Michaels, Director Michaels, Assistant Secretary Michaels.

I have committed to that, and they know that I strongly support the program.

The NLRB's assault on American workers and job creators is undermining our nation's ability to grow and prosper.

If we are correct that the overwhelming community of interest test has now been implemented, that is another reversal of 30 plus years of precedent.

Congress cannot stand by and allow an unelected board to wreak havoc on our workforce. We must stand up and do the job we were sent here to do.

I think that is going to be very hard to do, and there is a reason why it has not really been changed in all these years.

I do believe it is incumbent upon us to provide some checks to what that board is doing.

If workers want an election they should get an election. They should not be met with fear, intimidation or delay for the sake of delay.

specialty health care from my perspective, unless Mr. Martin can prevail somehow on the NLRB to reverse what it just did, is the most significant reversal in the recent history of board law.

I think that is an important part of the progress that we are seeing around the country as real innovators are stepping up to make changes, because you have parents--you have got a more formal system in California, the parental trigger…

We need to be able to look in and see how different elements of our student body are doing well.

I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to another member of the committee, the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Gowdy).
