Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

we need to be able to communicate to them and make them aware.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

That is why I have introduced the Improving Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women Act to strengthen efforts to ensure that some of our most vulnerable get the care they need.

I want to thank my colleagues, Representative Matsui, Tonko, Clark, and Cardenas, for joining me in introducing this bill.

the legislation that both Congressman McMorris Rodgers and Congressman Israel have put forth is something that I am definitely very interested in.
