It does point out how a low minimum wage in the way People Choose unemployment instead of going to work that says volumes of what we need to do a better minimum wage. I do appreciate mr.

Since im having a hard time breathing here too. Let me recognize the Ranking Member for his remarks. Aq very much and i recognize the circumstances are a bit unusual.

It is a pleasure to see you all here and it is always great to see i dont want to say so many probably all are familiar faces and we saw most of you in november and we hope to see most of you again in november and in between in september for our memory conference. As steven is said, unfortunately dr. Stoller tried his best, slipped on the way and caught his balance. But all three flights from berlington, vermont, were cancelled to get him here yesterday. And while we are disappointed, he is even more disappointed that he couldnt make it back down here and present. But i can tell you that we are very fortunate in this great city of new orleans to have one of the leading scholars in this field in gunther bischof here to fill the breach and enlighten us with the first panel of the day. Gunther has been a friend since before we had a building. Not just a hotel. But an actual museum. He goes back with
