“one of the things in H.R. 809 that I think is very important as a companion bill now to this piece of legislation is the Federal Protective Services, after the Alfred P. Murrah tragedy, had recommended that there would be no more child care centers near loading docks or loading dock areas. Quite frankly, looking at the bureaucratic side of this, the Public Buildings Service, which really has the control over the law enforcement, did not take that with great regard, as evidenced by the statement of my friend from that which occurred up there in Cleveland. So if we are to take a look at now the whole situation, with one contract guard guarding three facilities, there was a major tragedy, then the Federal Protective Service recommended to the Public Buildings Service, who is a real estate arm, do not put child care facilities near loading docks, now we have in Cleveland, Ohio, a disregard for the Federal Protective Services' bit of recommendation, if you will, relative to that whole area. Let me just say this: I think it is very important that this bill not only be passed but that H.R. 809 be passed by the other body, for the following reason: Law enforcement issues should not be determined by real estate agents. They should be determined by law enforcement personnel.”
