we are having an interesting duel of statistics here, because to take care of the 10 percent that the Senator from Iowa says has a problem, we will turn the other 90 percent on their head. It also doesn't surprise me that the President has…
I ask unanimous consent to have several letters of support printed in the Record, along with a list of 18 organizations that support the resolution. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as…
Considering that this regulation was advertised as reducing regulatory burden and saving money, it's even more disappointing.
Do you think that employer incentive programs can contribute to a safe workplace? Is this memo an appropriate use of OSHA's authority?
In my view, OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program... is an effective tool in terms of improving the workplace safety conditions and reducing injuries.
Where unions have been involved, the discussions are really full and complete. Where they're not, OSHA gets a one-sided set of demands.
None of the consulting work involved OSHA standards discussed at the hearing on April 19, 2012.
That's why the OSH Act prohibits the penalization of employees for reporting safety violations and making complaints.
It's not necessarily a bad thing when a priority shifts. We want the government to be able to respond to new developments and concerns of the people.
Several years ago, Senator Murray and I introduced legislation intended to aid this rulemaking process by involving stakeholders through a commission.
I do believe that we can attribute the progress in improving workplace safety both to employees and employers.
The stakeholders have described the recent OSHA final rule on hazard communication standards as a missed opportunity, do you agree?
Despite the rule being invalidated by Congress a short time after it was finalized, this example shows that the agency can use the necessary resources available on a priority standard.
I rise today to express my disappointment that the administration and my friends on the other side of the aisle continue to avoid making the hard decisions to address our Nation's significant debt and annual deficits. Instead, they are…
Today I wish to discuss high gasoline prices and to express my concern that the legislator we are debating will only cause the price at the pump to increase. We need to have a serious debate about energy policy in the Senate. We have not…
So that prescription Part D actually drove down the cost of medication, and now we are ending up in a situation where part of that will be in trouble because of what has happened to Medicare, with $500 billion being stolen. I see we are…
we are going to talk about Medicare today and the way the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act cuts into Medicare, destroys Medicare. Two years ago the President wanted a health care bill in the worst way, and that is exactly what he…
I think the Senator too would be interested in the accounting and some of the sleight of hand involved in the prescription Part D. We put a prescription Part D in so people would have a little better chance of paying for their…
I thought I had 2 more minutes. I appreciate the comments. This is the 2-year anniversary of passing what is the so-called affordable patient care act. The Supreme Court has chosen next week to begin the deliberations on it, and they are…
I ask unanimous consent for an additional 2 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
But that board was made essential by decisions that were made in the health care bill. In the health care bill, we took $500 billion--$\1/2\ trillion--that should have stayed with Medicare to solve Medicare problems. The doc fix is one of…
it is my understanding that the other side will not have their speakers use the last minutes, so we will start on our side. I ask unanimous consent that we be allowed to do a colloquy and have several Senators join in. The PRESIDING…
