Assessments
The judged commitment was to support legislation reducing the FLSA standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, not necessarily to secure enactment. Verified evidence shows Takano introduced H.R. 10323, and the verified bill text states it would amend the FLSA to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours per week to 32 hours per week. Introducing the bill is material candidate action satisfying the support-legislation promise in the same term.
