From the opening statement of John Barrasso: "In just the past 6 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has completely upended our everyday way of life. One of the most sudden, stark, and significant transitions has been to the way that all of us work. Millions of Americans have been unable to go to the office each day. As a result, we have had to find a way to get our jobs done and keep our economy going. [...] The private sector is leading the way in reducing expenses. In recent years, private sector companies have consolidated and reduced their real estate footprint in order to save money. They have been able to do this because modern telecommunications technologies have enabled them to adopt remote work options and other flexible work strategies. [...] Today's hearing is an opportunity to examine how the lessons the private sector has learned about cost savings from telework can be translated to the Federal Government. These lessons will allow the Government to reduce its footprint and save American taxpayer money." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Mark Pringle, Kate Lister, and Michael T. Benjamin.

Moving America's Infrastructure Forward, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure of the Committee on Small Business, United States House of Representatives, One Hundred Sixteenth Congress, Second Session, February 27, 2020
This is the February 27, 2020 hearing "Moving America's Infrastructure Forward," held before the House Subcommittee on Contracting and Infrastructure of the Committee on Small Business. From the opening statement of Jared Golden: "Whether it is the roads, rails, bridges that we use to transport our goods, the utility systems that power our factories, or the telecommunications networks that connect consumers to businesses, maintaining America's infrastructure is fundamental to a robust economy and to the Nation's competitiveness. Historically, America's infrastructure network has fostered strong economies and allowed us to be both competitive and efficient. However, by many measures, we are failing to keep up with the growing demands of our modern society. Across the U.S., years of underinvestment in our infrastructure has resulted in crumbling roads, bridges in need of repair, rolling blackouts, and communities that lack access to high-speed Internet. Failure to invest in our infrastructure has serious economic consequences. [...] [I]t is my hope that today's hearing can help identify how investments in infrastructure, especially in surface transportation, clean energy, and rural broadband, will benefit small businesses and the economy overall." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Lynn Frazier, Lisa Jacobson, Michael Saperstein, and Todd Rothe.

From the opening statement of John Garamendi: "A series of alarming mishaps in recent years and subsequent committee investigations into the surface Navy readiness revealed how degraded material conditions of ships and poor maintenance practices adversely impacted readiness and put our sailors at risk. Ship and submarine maintenance is particularly high stakes as the Navy's fleet is the foundation of global power projection. Rigorous and timely maintenance means we can have more ships at sea and it is necessary to preserve our ships' availability for their expected service life. Unlike other platforms, major ship maintenance work is complex, enormously expensive, and relatively infrequent, so it is critical that we get this right."
