On the recordOctober 9, 1997
Davis-Bacon is one of the finest laws we have on the books. Davis and Bacon were both leading Republicans in the Congress of 1931. We faced the same thing now that they faced then, people coming in undercutting the prevailing wage rate. That is what it is all about. It is about fairness. It is about helping our neighbors who are electricians and plumbers and masons and ironworkers. That is what it is about. We should not tamper with Davis-Bacon. It is a good law. Let us keep it.
