On the recordMarch 5, 1996
I think that will come with our legislation to have sunset review and also working with Congressman Mica in regulatory review, because many times I have seen where we have had Federal regulations introduced, there are already State agencies that do that. So there is no reason to have duplicative legislation, which puts a further burden on business, and we put a further burden on business that is already being covered, the safety hazard has been addressed. Why should we put the further burden on business to do more forms that do not help safety, but add to the cost of a product and therefore make it more difficult to hire.
