On the recordSeptember 8, 1997

I talked before about the tragic fire in Hamlet, NC, and there was real action after that fire. In fact, the number of inspectors were increased 100 percent. The leaders of that program in North Carolina happened to have such an exemplary record that the numbers of workplace injuries have continued to decline. So I would like to say to the gentleman from Indiana, let us work together to increase money for IDEA and other special education programs. But while we are working together to improve OSHA, to make sure that we are saving lives, let us look at programs like in North Carolina where their increased investments have really made a difference.
