mr. chairman. thank you, incoming chair brown. congratulations to both nominees. i have enjoyed our conversations together. i will direct most of my comments this morning with dr. rouse. as congresswoman fudge knows, [indiscernible] i look forward to revisiting this once you are confirmed. dr. rouse, one of the things that came out of the first cares package that i think was extraordinarily significant long-term was when we did the expansion of unemployment, there were two component parts. one part was the $600 which turned out to be controversial and the other part where there is broad-based support is the expansion to cover self-employed , gig workers, independent contractors, a whole host of folks. we have discussed universal workers in that type of work is not going away. i think it's terribly important to have a social contract that includes all forms of that and i hope there will be further expansion of benefits to those workers including a component of portability, something i've worked with members of the committee on for a long time. can you speak to how

mrs pretty? details of buried treasure? ralph fiennes stars as basil brownself—taught archaeologist who wears his immense learning lightly and who is enlisted by carey mulligan�*s wealthy widow, edith pretty, to excavate the imposing burial mounds on her property. "my interest in archaeology began like yours," edith tells the initially sceptical basil, "when i was scarcely old enough to hold a trowel." and so begins an unlikely friendship between two very different people, both of whom believe the past speaks. the line thatjoins them to theirforebears, isn't that what you all say? something like that. adapted by screenwriter at moira buffini from the historical novel byjohn preston, the dig is an extremely likeable fare, beautifully lensed by cinematographer mike eley, who captures the lonely landscape and the darkening skies of the drama. would you have dinner with me? yes. fiennes and mulligan are perfectly cast in the lead roles and there's strong support from the likes of monica dolan, ken stott, and the young archie barnes as edith's son robert, who fin
