One pertains to our Department of Labor in New Mexico. This is another article that was in our papers there. It says that the Department of Labor employs State workers but they use Federal funds to pay their salaries. I gather that is a normal practice all around the country in the Department of Labor. They operate the unemployment compensation program and a variety of programs there, and the State workers are paid with Federal funds. Does the bill which is being considered in the House contemplate that there would be funds to pay the State workers who are paid with Federal funds as well as the Federal workers, or does the Senator from Virginia know?
