"I have a bill that would allow some backpay for workers who work in--who are contract workers in retail, food, custodial and security."

"If I could say, I'm also cosponsoring a bill that makes it 200 percent of pay."

"Mr. Chairman, under things that we might consider, this confusion, at least, it seems to me we could help eliminate."

"Are you saying this would have to be done at the state level? There's nothing that could be done to clarify this--the layoff took place at the Federal level."
