This should be a no-brainer that our Federal workers and our employees should actually go to work. In fact, it is actually bipartisan. President Biden called on his Cabinet members to aggressively execute plans for Federal employees to work more in their offices. The President and I do not see eye to eye on very much--in fact, very little. In this instance, putting workers back in the office is common sense. This amendment would not defund telework and remote work for servicemen and -women. This amendment specifically prevents funds for DOD employees, civilians, and contractors. Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
