On the recordNovember 18, 2010
As chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1722, the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010. H.R. 1722 will increase the Federal Government's use of telework. This will make the Federal workforce more efficient and better prepared to handle all emergencies. Telework saves the government money, reduces energy consumption, and increases worker productivity. It is time for us to send this bill to the President for his signature. The Senate changes in H.R. 1722 represent a compromise between the House-passed bill and Senate legislation introduced by Senator Akaka. And of course I fully support this bipartisan compromise.
