I am strongly in favor of the resolution. But I am concerned about the proposition of a 2-year delay. There are a lot of people--and I will address that--who are actually at this moment suffering a consequence of their repetitive physical action. Do we really think 2 years would give Congress the time necessary to address this problem?
