This amendment is yet another example of Democrats assuming bad motives on the part of American employers and handcuffing them with additional, overly prescriptive micromanagement from Washington. The vast majority of employers in America…
It is very disturbing to me as a citizen of this country, to hear the talk about increasing incidents of violence. We know that is occurring all over our country, everywhere. However, this bill is not going to respond to the underlying…
This amendment underscores two obvious points: first, that healthcare and social service workers should be free to report workplace violence incidents to law enforcement; and second, that this bill was drafted poorly. Such a commonsense…
While the amendment is well- intentioned, there are Federal agencies other than OSHA that would be better equipped to handle this type of regulatory requirement for the education of healthcare workers who work with the individuals…
This amendment is unnecessary. The underlying bill already mandates that each workplace violation prevention plan required by the bill ``be made available at all times'' to covered employees. This amendment adds yet another overly…
I claim the time in opposition, although I am not opposed to the amendment. The CHAIR. Without objection, the gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
This amendment is yet another well-intentioned addition to a flawed bill. A provision this obvious should have been included in the underlying text, but Democrats are unnecessarily rushing through this legislation even though OSHA is…
This amendment is simply more window dressing on a flawed bill. While technical assistance is welcome and appropriate, this amendment places an arbitrary time limit that is woefully insufficient to cope with the flawed rule, and there is…
I seek time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes.
Let me be clear, the safety of our Nation's healthcare and social service workers is not a partisan issue. Regardless of political beliefs, all of us in this Chamber can appreciate the hard work and empathy that healthcare workers and…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from North Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes.
To say it is terminating a pregnancy, and as Ms. Stuckey said, never, ever facing up to what you are really doing, is scary to me.
This week, we celebrate the fifth year of National Apprenticeship Week, a week dedicated to showcasing the impact that apprenticeship programs have on preparing Americans for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Our Nation has 7 million…
I cannot imagine that it is ever easy. I hope it is never easy for any woman to decide to kill her unborn child.
After the Governor of Virginia's horrific comments earlier this year, there has been a national outcry.
Today, thanks to the relentless efforts of our military's special operations servicemembers, ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is dead and our world is a safer place. Saturday night's victory over this violent enemy is due to our troops'…
I would like to begin by thanking Representative Stefanik for her leadership on this legislation before us today. I rise today to speak in support of H.R. 4334, the Dignity in Aging Act, which will reauthorize the Older Americans Act…
An impeachment inquiry is one of the most serious actions the House can take. But the gravity of such proceedings seem to be lost on the Democratic Caucus. As a reminder, I would like to quote Federalist 65: The prosecution of impeachment…
I believe that all members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans want to see all workers protected from any harm that could occur to them and especially pregnant women and I think our record proves that.
I believe the proposed BBCE rule will ensure that hardworking tax payer dollars are spent in accordance with the law.
That does not seem to be the purpose of this rule to me based on your testimony.
