“She writes: Although I very much appreciate the intent of the Murray amendment, I cannot support it. She gives an explanation and lists four very specific reasons: One, the potential for misuse and manipulation; two, the perpetuation of domestic violence; three, adequate time off from work already available; and four, the lack of due process for employers. This is a person who has been there. This is a person who has been abused. She did find a way out. And incidentally, in her credentials, she has devoted most of her life to helping battered women in the Kansas City metro area and has an astounding record of doing that and is very concerned about us going this way. Again, without a hearing, I am concerned, too. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I yield the floor.”
