[inaudible] well come to order. We are considering President Bidens nomination of julie su to be the secretary of the United States department of labour. I welcome her this morning. Let me get directly to the point. I strongly support miss sus nomination. She has been an excellent deputy secretary of labor for the last two years and i believe she will make an excellent secretary of labor into the future. I hope very much that you will be confirmed by the senate and we need her in her job as soon as possible. Let us be honest as we gather this morning, a debate over miss su really has nothing to do with her qualifications. No one can tell us with a straight face that miss su is unqualified for this position. In fact, she is extremely well qualified. This debate, really, has everything to do with the fact that julie su is a championing of the working class of this country who will stand up against the forces of corporate greed. That is really what this debate is about. Lets be very clear
In addition to being a House Historical Association board member, in my prior life, i did eight years in the Obama White House, six years as mrs. Obamas chief of staff during the entire eight years, i also ran the White House Council on women and girls. And so theres a special place in my heart for women in the white house, where women in history or women as leaders our country, and how important it is to tell that story wherever it is and bring out that rich history. I was struck last night by the photo of the first steak dinner that we saw and how it was just a bunch of men gathered in the blue there and how things are now, but how we should uncover the stories because there were clearly women behind all those men standing in that picture as. There are women throughout history and through what were doing. And so that how we will the panel that we will have this morning to discuss this. And so let me introduce our panels. We have as our moderator, greta bronner, who is a host for cspa
