This amendment would give lawmakers in the OMB an opportunity to revise this privatization process along the lines that Congress has already done in the other instances that my colleague from Maryland has mentioned. So it is not a process of shutting it down, but it is a process of hoping that it will be done fairly and will get the taxpayers the best solution and also treats the Federal employees fairly on this. This administration has been relaxing health and safety protections, has been scaling back overtime rules, and has been enacting new regulations designed to weaken unions. This administration has been, in fact, waging an all-out assault on the American worker. And now they are shifting it over, to make matters worse, and extending those attacks on the benefits and protections of workers who have chosen public service as a career.
