On the recordSeptember 8, 1997
But let me reassure my colleague that the purpose of this amendment is not only to assure that OSHA, but also, as the gentleman from Kansas [Mr. Tiahrt] said, we do believe the funds would be very well used in trying to take the vocational education program up to the full level that the President had requested. And so it is a sincere effort to have those funds redirected, not eliminated from the budget but redirected in a way that we think will help workers and give more opportunity for people to find better jobs in industries that are suffering dislocation.
