On the recordJune 22, 2000
I believe, if my father were on the floor of the Senate today, that he would as vehemently and strongly and vigorously oppose this OSHA draconian power move as much as I am going to oppose it. I hardly think it would be prudent on our part to wait until after they enacted the rule, and then come back and try to change it when employers would have already faced the rule that was in place. It is anticipated, as I understand it, that the rule will be finally promulgated by the end of this year. If we are going to act, we must act now. I am concerned if we wait much longer that it may be 900 pages before the end of the year. This is the time for us to act. He made it very clear that from his viewpoint this is class warfare.
