On the recordApril 30, 1996
the concern here of some of us is the conducting of an investigation on the initiative of the Secretary of Labor or on the basis of a complaint. I wonder if I might inquire of my friend from Massachusetts, if we were to strike the word ``or otherwise''--on line 6, where it says the Secretary of Labor to conduct an investigation pursuant to a complaint ``or otherwise''--I wonder, if we were to remove that, my objection would be less. Then you would still have to have reasonable cause to believe the employer has made a misrepresentation of a material fact on a labor certification. I share the Senator's view and the view of the Secretary of Labor that certainly there have been abuses, and there have been, but I think that alone rather lends an uncomfortable aspect to it as to what ``otherwise'' would mean there.
