On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
Mr. Chairman, if there is one thing the American people have unanimously voiced over the last several years, it is disgust with the Congress in the fact that the Congress seeks and often accomplishes exemption of itself from the laws which it imposes upon the public at large. There are many, many examples of it. The people not only perceive it but believe it, because it is actually true. Let me give you an example of how this occurs. Now, we are talking about the Congress subjecting the general public to certain laws and other segments of society to certain laws, but not itself to the disgust of the American people. Here is a list of them: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the AIDS Discrimination in Employment Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, OSHA, the Freedom of Information Act, and the Privacy Act.
