On the recordJanuary 27, 1995
If the gentleman could understand that this is not suggesting that this should replace any priority that we have. It is consistent with the priority I would have as a county commissioner or a Governor would have for his citizens. The Governor of the State of North Carolina was devastated. The general assembly was devastated and, therefore, they put money in to protect their workers as a result of it. But they had this Federal guideline which would at least allow the private company to be held in violation of that. That gave them some protection. So I am urging Members not to confuse these issues. I am simply saying that workplace safety should be exempt from this. I thank the gentleman. The gentleman has been very generous.
