On the recordSeptember 12, 1995
As I have indicated, first of all in section 1 the gentleman has entirely removed the very clear statement that any promotion is inappropriate on behalf of the Department of Labor. In reference to the other sections of the bill, frankly the gentleman had here a complete new bill of seven or, eight pages, and I have not had the chance to go fully through it, but I have noted that at least statements where we have said that we had proscriptions in regard to promotion, it seemed to me the gentleman had left those out. In fact in section 2 I am informed that those proscriptions have been pretty well deleted.
