I am here as, I believe, one of the strongest supporters of this proposed legislation. I am privileged to serve on the Small Business Committee. Chairman Bond and others had hearings at which I participated. I put forth the suggestion that I find this proposed legislation a first cousin to the suggestion box which is found in industrial plants and offices all across America. I have great difficulty in trying to determine, if you can drop a written suggestion in the box, why can't one or two employees verbally suggest to their employers--whether it is, say, a day care center or needed improvements in the restaurant-- why can they not do that and then help the employer implement it? It seems to me so elementary.
