On the recordJune 10, 1998
This is precisely why in all of those instances where exemptions are granted, nothing like this has ever been put into the Fair Labor Standards Act. I want to add also that the gentleman from New York (Mr. Owens) actually is extending the overtime provisions to now include the 8-hour day as well as the 40-hour work week. The Fair Labor Standards Act has always applied only to a 40-hour work week, not to an 8-hour day, too. So he is bringing in something completely new to the Federal law, the Fair Labor Standards Act.
