Aderholt Remarks at Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Public Witness Day Hearing

Good morning. It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education for a hearing to hear from outside experts and the public.

This is our public witness day – an opportunity for members of the public to come before this panel and draw our attention to issues of importance to them.

I look forward to hearing from our public witnesses as we learn more regarding the challenges facing our constituents and communities across this country, and what this subcommittee can do to help them.

For our witnesses, a five-minute clock will count down on the microphone box in front of you, when you have one minute remaining the light will turn yellow, and you should begin to wrap up your testimony at that point. Remember that your full written statement you submitted to the Committee will appear in the hearing record.

Before we begin, I’d like to turn to my Ranking Member for any remarks she’d care to make.
