Learned and what to better improve the process. Its been a decade since the last significant piece of the telework legislation, the telework enhancement act of 2010 and it set the baseline standards for them to follow with telework and over the last ten years, weve seen great advances in technology and workforce expectations and the increase in cybersecurity threats.

This Committee Held a hearing in july and during the hearing we were able to gather valuable information to what theyve done to support the Remote Workforce and we were able to draw Lessons Learned with how they recalibrate the telework strategies and policies.

Welcome, everybody, to our hearing. Both those in the room and those that arent in the room.

They discussed this at length at their meeting. While the base case is for a continued expansion in the economy, many attach, quote, significant odds to scenarios with less favorable out comes. Now it is interesting to note that the fed did discuss how the markets expect a rate cut and that is creating more loose financial conditions. That perhaps if they werent pricing in a rate cut, then the market would be more vulnerable to some of these uncertainties like slowing Growth Growth and change. Was surprising to see fed officials more on the same page in terms of the out look on the economy and a rate cut would be warranted at one point and there was a small group in the fed that said not quite yet. Back to you. Charles that group seems to get smaller, right, jennifer . Reporter exactly. That is very interesting a
