Representative Glenn opened the hearing, explained the committee's decision to hold a field hearing outside Washington, and said the panel would examine Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and its role in employment for people with disabilities. He introduced Congressman Burgess Owens as a visiting member and stated the committee will hear witnesses who advocate for continued access to 14(c).
