On the recordNovember 18, 2010
I rise in support of H.R. 1722, the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010. I am pleased to offer for consideration this bipartisan legislation which seeks to improve and expand the access to telework for Federal employees in the executive branch, as well as for government employees within the Government Accountability Office. This is the third time this good governance bill has been debated on the House floor. Despite the evolving nature of the way the Federal Government conducts its affairs, telework, which allows an employee to regularly perform work in a remote location, continues to be woefully underutilized by Federal agencies.
