"Most recently at the March 11, 2010 HELP Hearing on Pay Equity, Senator Mikulski raised the critical issue of EEOC backlog and pressed for confirmation of permanent leadership."

"Thank you to This Subcommittee for Fiscal Year 2010 Funding and to Senator Mikulski for Statements at the Recent Help Hearing Regarding Backlog and Need for Confirmation of EEOC Nominees."

"I think you have been given an enormous responsibility. And even if this law doesn't pass--which I hope it does--if we give you more responsibility, we have to give you more resources."

"See, I am observing a pattern here, which is not only with the EEOC, but a variety of agencies."
