John Sarbanes: “Those have been put into law. There are extensive authorities in the Secretary of Labor and the Department with respect…”

On the recordJuly 9, 2002
Those have been put into law. There are extensive authorities in the Secretary of Labor and the Department with respect to the unions--quite extensive authorities, I might add. We have established one statutory framework to control the reporting requirements and disclosure on the part of unions, which is a completely separate universe from what we are trying to address in this legislation. The Senator is absolutely right. It is in a sense apples and oranges. You are dealing with two different universes, and you have established two different statutory frameworks within which to address that.
