where in the section of the law does say that the labor departments should require department of labor apprenticeship programs? >> so, i don't think that's in the text of the law. it is in our aim to comply with the text of the law. 23022 requires that we stand up this program, and it's a pretty short deadline. 16 days for fda to begin the safe driver apprentice reprogram. our challenge, of course, is to be do so both swiftly and safely. and in this case, we believe that the best way to make sure we are meeting our obligation to ensure that there's no trade-off in safety, as we introduce these younger drivers to the road, it's to make sure there's a clear and effective pattern for mentorship and education. so, having an already existing framework and successful one, we feel helps us to attract the broadest range of participants and have a high level of attention to the excellent retention of that program and also positive pay. it is already existing framework that is preferred by the political left. they're always existing and effective frameworks we are just going to have to have a di

we have also the bill is necessary because the department of labor published a bulletin to a special claims unit for streamlined claims processing. there is a difference between a bulletin that a later administration can revoke and a law that mandatory nondiscretionary duties. instead of whether a firefighter has proven his or her illness was caused by his on the job efforts, this bill establishes clear presumptions that workers can actually rely on. moreover the administration's bulletin cuts off the claims for diseases that develop more than 10 years after a firefighter has left his job. we know many diseases on the list can take more than 10 develop. messo le thoama. the underlying bill does not have that short coming. this bill has been introduced in other congresses for 20 years. if we believe that we and our federal firefighters have waited 20 years or any studies that need to be done, those studies should have been done. state and local firefighters have enjoyed the protections of this bill during those 20 years and it's about time that our federal firefighters get those same p
