[inaudible conversations] the committee will come to order. Good morning, and welcome to our witnesses, several of whom have traveled the considerable distances to be here today for this important hearing on paid family and medical leave. Before we move to our scheduled committee business, i want to take a moment to acknowledge the recent tragic passing of pamela moomau, a valued member staff of the staff of the joint committee on taxation for over 28 years.

Her colleagues on the joint committee on taxation have said that pam was tireless in her dedication to the work of the joint committee, and that she readily accepted projects that were analytically difficult and often data deficient. She was in her office cheerfully worki

There was a historian who once said to me, you know, bozeman is misnamed. It ought to be story. Or storyville, or story town. Personally, i think bozeman has a better ring to it than any of those other options. So it remained bozeman. But i was curious about nelsons story since his name was plastered all over the place here. I just wanted to find out more about it. There has not been a fulllength biography about him, so over the years, i put it together. Nelson story was one of the more successful western capitalists in the history of the American West. If you take a step back and try and name others, you come up with Leland Stanford in california. Im sure that name rings a bell area you would have John Creighton from nebraska. John e live from northern colorado, and all of those people were very good. They started th

150. 00 people in the rain inside but the question comes to me is the americans a country in the past why Nuclear Bombs do they really care about killing 150 people and then maybe they do because donald trump is a very unusual president you can be very critical about him but he has.
