Bill Pascrell: “It doesn't get much simpler than that. This is not a new idea.…”

On the recordJune 21, 2017

It doesn't get much simpler than that. This is not a new idea. President Obama and Democrats in Congress have raised this bill for years, and the Republican Congress has blocked our bill at every turn. Senator Stabenow of Michigan leads this bill in the Senate, where it cleared a procedural vote 93-7 in 2014. I challenge you, today, to take up and pass this bill to stand up for American manufacturing and the workers here at home. Talk only goes so far. Let's act. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
