the majority must have some serious misgivings about title I of its own bill. Earlier this week, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Fawell), chairman of the subcommittee, prefiled and then withdrew an amendment to strike title I from the bill. Now the gentleman from Pennsylvania is trying to salvage this extreme and reckless title through this amendment. The truth is this amendment does nothing to fix this bill. It merely restates the current law protections while still allowing employers to refuse employment to workers, based on the outside group affiliations. I have no intentions of opposing the amendment because it does nothing.
