Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 11, 1994
I favor most of what my colleagues have put in on the Republican side. But there has been one major error, and I want to address my remarks solely to that. That is the repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act. I can think of nothing that would undercut the working people of this country more than the repeal of the Davis-Bacon Act. Mr. Chairman, James Davis was the Secretary of Labor under three Republican Presidents: Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. In 1931, as a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, he joined with Robert Bacon, a Republican Member of the House from New York, and together they authored and led through Congress, President Hoover's request for this historic legislation, which has been on the books for over six decades. What the Davis-Bacon Act provides is that construction, alteration, and repair, which is funded with Federal money shall meet the prevailing wages in the locality of the projects for similar crafts and skills on comparable construction work.
