If you will look at the language in the bill, clearly the primary purpose is to go in to further the goals of an organization or agency. If we go to apply for a job--I ask for the Senator's opinion of this-- it is my understanding that if you apply for the job, the primary purpose would be to fulfill the job, and it is not the primary purpose to fulfill the goals of the organization. That is why the employer would not be required to hire the employee under that. He would not fit the definition of a bona fide employee.
