On the recordJanuary 31, 1995
Mr. Chairman, this issue came up in our committee meeting and at the time I indicated that I have a great deal of sympathy with the problem that was created here or the potential problem that the private sector enterprises would be put at a disadvantage if they were not put on the same playing field as the public sector. But I do think that this remedy to that problem is much too extreme and goes too far in gutting the basic provisions of this bill. What I would propose and would like to do is work with my colleague, the gentleman from Virginia, on addressing this issue in H.R. 9 or other appropriate legislation to grant many of the same protections to the private sector that would be available to their public sector competitors, so we can move forward with unfunded mandate legislation that is real legislation and real reform and yet at the same time make sure that we do not put the private sector at a disadvantage.
