Floor Statements

Mr. Speaker, I regret that I missed two votes on July 21, 2005. Had I been present I would have voted ``no'' on rollcalls 401 and 402.

Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. What sounds like a very small change in the rules could have very large and unwelcome consequences. The way the law works now, if an OSHA inspector noticed the trench that the gentleman from New York just made reference to and gave that employer a notice that the trench needed to be properly put together so it would not cave in, under present law the employer has more than 2 weeks, 15 days, to decide whether to contest that citation. And if the employer fails to contest the citation, the law presumes that the violation ought to stand and there is corrective action taken to try to protect the worker.

Now, sometimes employers do have surprises or accidents or situations beyond their control and they mean to object to the citation, but they fail to do so. They fail to file the paper on time, or they have some other surprise or circumstance. The law, as the gentleman from New York said, already provides for that circumstance. On a case-by-case basis, OSHA is able to say there are special circumstances which justify missing the 15-day deadline. In the law, he or she who has the burden of proof loses.

What this bill does is to shift the burden of proof to OSHA to prove that the 15-day deadline was somehow unreasonable, instead of properly vesting the burden on the employer to show that there was an accident or a surprise that made them fail to hit the 15-day deadline. There is a reason that this deadline is so short. It is because the circumstances that give rise to the violations put people's lives and health at risk. We should not shift this burden. We should not approve this bill. I would urge a ``no'' vote.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from New York (Mr. Owens) for yielding me this time.

Mr. Speaker, I would be remiss if I did not tribute my friend from New York (Mr. Owens) for his years of advocacy for working people generally and in worker safety specifically.

Year after year, month after month, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Owens) has come to this floor and raised these issues with great clarity and passion, and we very much appreciate his contribution in this area.

Mr. Speaker, I also appreciate the efforts of my friend from Georgia (Mr. Norwood) who is the author of the bill. I never thought I would see the day, I must say, Mr. Speaker, to the author where he would propose a bill that could create two jobs for lawyers.

On behalf of our profession, I guess we have to express our appreciation. I do want to note my three bases of objections to the bill. The first is it does provide the opportunity for what we might call court packing. It does provide the opportunity by expanding the commission from three members to five, that we would find a fishing expedition for two members that would be more attuned to the ideological predilection of the administration.

I do not think either a liberal or conservative administration should have the right to pack the commission. I think expanding to five members runs that risk.

Secondly, I am concerned about the undue reliance upon legal training. The language of the bill does not expressly require the appointment of lawyers, but it does indicate that the principal consideration for appointment is legal training or the lack thereof.

There are many positions in the Federal administrative service that are very complex that are adjudicatory in nature that do not require formal legal training, and I do not believe that these positions should either.

I would note for the record that none of the nonlawyers appointed to this commission in its history have been appointed by Democratic administrations. All of the nonlawyers appointed, to my knowledge, have been appointed by Republican administrations. So my objection is not partisan or ideological. I think that the door should be wide open for people of all backgrounds and ability to serve on the commission provided they are qualified.

My third objection has to do with what appears to be a minor provision, but could be a major provision. It appears that the language would permit two members of the commission, now it is expanded to five, only two members of the commission to transact business on behalf of the commission.

I do not know of really any other decisionmaking body in the Federal structure where a minority of the members can make an affirmative decision. I know of institutions where a minority can veto a decision, bit I am not familiar with a situation where two members out of five could in fact act on behalf of the commission. I have a concern about that as well.

So for these reasons I would urge opposition to the bill.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this bill. If the principle in this bill were applied to U.S. attorneys across the country, we would have a crime wave like you would not believe. If prosecutors had to be sure they were going to win every time they brought a case, they would bring very few cases. And that is the flaw in this bill.

There are four kinds of results when OSHA brings an action. The first is the result when OSHA is right, when they win on every question. And this bill does not affect that situation.

The second is the mixed result where OSHA wins some and loses some, where some of the charges that they make are downgraded, others are dismissed, and others are upheld in their entirety. As I read this legislation, Mr. Speaker, in that case, it is indeed possible, perhaps likely, that OSHA would be held responsible for paying the attorneys' fees of the defendant or accused party in that case.

The third kind of case OSHA brings is one where OSHA loses on all counts, but the claim was not unreasonable, where they made a judgment call and they thought they were right, but the adjudicator, the court, the decisionmaker made a different decision.

Well, in that case, it is obvious under this bill that OSHA would be responsible for the counsel fees of the accused party.

The fourth kind of case is the case where OSHA brings a case that is unreasonable, that is arbitrary and capricious. Under present law, under such circumstances, OSHA is responsible for the counsel fees and attorneys' fees of the accused party.

Now, our friends on the other side say, well, this has been rarely invoked. I believe they said there are three cases in recent years, in a long time, where this has been invoked. And they draw from that the conclusion, Mr. Speaker, that there must be many, many cases where OSHA has done something arbitrary or unreasonable, but not been called on it, not been caught at it.

One could draw a very different set of conclusions from that record. It could draw the conclusion that in the vast majority of the cases, even when they

lose, their claims are reasonable; and the adjudicator and finder of fact in law has found that although OSHA is wrong, they were not acting in a vindictive or unreasonable way. This is a consistent principle across the board in Federal law.

If a Federal agency brings a case that is vindictive or unreasonable or patently unfair, then they are in fact responsible to pay the attorneys' fees of the accused party. But if they bring a case that is just wrong, but not unreasonable, where reasonable people could disagree before the case was brought as to whether it was right or wrong, then they do not have to pay the attorneys' fees, and it is for a very good reason.

It is because there are judgment calls that prosecutors have to make, there are judgment calls that enforcing agencies have to make, and we do not want to chill that judgment by saying, we will bring the case if you are sure that you are going to win. I am glad that the Securities and Exchange Commission is not going to be held to this standard, because if every time someone on Wall Street were accused of stock fraud, the SEC had to say, well, are we sure we are going to win before we bring this case, the cases of stock fraud that we have seen would be far more rampant than we have seen in recent years.

I am glad that other agencies, the mine safety agency is not held to this standard. You know, the basic question here is whether we want to so chill and corrode the enforcement powers of the agency that we want to wipe them out all together. I just do not think that makes any sense.

I think a far more sensible course would be to examine the existing legal provisions as to whether they go far enough, whether they are properly administered; but to make this wholesale change is to say to OSHA, unless you are sure you are going to win, do not bring the case.

You know, every lawyer is asked by every client at some phase of the litigation, am I going to win? Clients want to know this. And competent, honest lawyers usually give an answer that says, I am not sure. I can give you the probabilities. I can give you the circumstances under which I think we can win, and the circumstances under which I think we would not win. And a sensible client decides whether to go forward or not.

OSHA should have the same degree of discretion. If it abuses that discretion, it should be punished. If it does so on a consistent basis, we should change the law. But I believe there is no record that would demonstrate that conclusion, and I think that this proposal would seriously corrode the ability of this much needed agency to protect the working people of the country. I would urge both sides to cast a ``no'' vote on this bill.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the first graduating class of the Camden Academy Charter High School. The high school grew out of Camden's Promise Charter School, which opened its doors in September of 1998. From the beginning, Camden Academy Charter School has provided a safe environment for the children of Camden. The students here are not just presented with a foundation in academics, but also discover how their education translates into opportunities outside the classroom. The students participate in summer immersion, job shadowing, and even internships with local companies.

These students have truly earned their diplomas. I commend them for their dedication and hard work, and hope that their education will not end here. Education is a lifelong goal, one that serves to the betterment of the individual, and of society. I ask them to read the newspaper; read a novel; write poetry; study current events; talk to friends and family about the issues of the day. Their graduation today is a starting point from which they can grow and learn, and I wish these students all the best in their future endeavors.

The following are the 2005 graduates from the Camden Academy Charter High School:

Aaron Adams, Kristen Alpheus, Devon Alston, Jamellah Best, Diana Borges, Tyesha Brantley, Domonic Busbee, Troy Butler, Edwin Caraballo, TieQuann Carver, Jesse Coltrane, Alexis Cooper, Michael Cropper, Bianca Cox, Juan Cruz, Aramis Cruz, Letitia Curry, Khalil Davis, Julissa DeCasanova, Yesenia DeCasanova, Christopher Dickerson, Marilynn Ferguson, Rashon Fisher, Sheila Gabriel, and Tajah Gamble.

Mr. Chairman, as we consider the FY06 Transportation, Treasury, HOD, Judiciary, and District of Columbia Appropriations Act today, I would like to take this opportunity to express my opposition to the proposed Runway 17-35 expansion at the Philadelphia International Airport. Over the past several months, I have strongly urged the FAA to investigate and pursue the construction of a new parallel runway, rather than continuing with its endorsement of Build Alternative 1, which is an ineffective use of taxpayer dollars.

The information presented in the final Environmental Impact Statement, EIS, indicates that there will be minimal gains in airport efficiency with the extension of Runway 17-35. The projected average delay per operation in 2007 is 15.3 minutes under the No-Action Alternative. The EIS indicated that Alternative 1 would cost the taxpayers approximately $36 million, yet would only result in an 84- second delay reduction. While this alternative purports a slightly greater reduction in the 2015 projected delays, the EIS indicated only a 6.5-minute delay reduction, which is less than the 7.5-minute delay reduction that was projected in the Draft EIS, DEIS. I think it would be a much better use of taxpayer funds to evaluate the potential installation of a new parallel runway rather than extending Runway 17- 35; it makes no sense to spend $36 million with no real ensuing benefits. The FAA still has not released the underlying data used to calculate projected delay reductions.

It greatly concerns me that the FAA has indicated that it does not have data indicating what percentage of delays at the Philadelphia International Airport are a direct result of airport runway problems, as opposed to other causes. Common sense would indicate that this information is necessary in order to determine that the proposed runway extension would be effective in increasing airport efficiency, particularly when the projected delay reduction achieved by this project was decreased by more than 13 percent between the time the DEIS was issued on October 15, 2004, and the issuance of the EIS on March 11, 2005.

The Record of Decision, ROD, indicates that Alternative 1 will have no significant noise impacts on the surrounding communities, which defies logic. The proposed runway extension would allow more and larger aircraft to utilize the runway, and common sense dictates that this would result in a substantial appreciation in noise levels for the southern New Jersey communities within the flight paths and directly across the Delaware River from the Philadelphia International Airport.

Again, I strongly urge the FAA to explore a parallel runway option so that all interested parties can evaluate the relevant facts and form a judgment on the potential benefit a new parallel runway would have to the entire Philadelphia region.

Mr. Speaker, I regret that I missed votes on June 24th, 2005. Had I been present I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall Nos. 309, 310, 311, 312, 314, 316, 318, 319 and 320. I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall Nos. 308, 313, 315, 317 and 321.

Mr. Speaker, House Concurrent Resolution 180 speaks to the heart of how we as a nation value the lives of each and every one of our firefighters. This resolution is a wake-up call to make firefighter safety a national priority. It is a wake-up call to remind us that we need to do more to prevent and reduce firefighter fatalities and injuries. It begins today, where fire departments across the country are participating in ``stand down.'' Today, at participating departments, all non-emergency activities are suspended and firefighters instead will focus only on firefighter safety. Firefighters are so used to putting their lives at risk to save others that their health and well-being is often neglected. Today we hope to begin a new trend where firefighter safety becomes a top priority for every firefighter, whether volunteer or paid, rural or urban, young or old.

The safety and health of firefighters has never been a more important issue. Firefighters now have more responsibilities with

the increased focus on homeland security and hazard response. We rely on them to protect us from harm while we are at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Regrettably, more than 58 firefighters have died this year, a number that far exceeds the annual pace. This is especially disturbing because most, if not all, of these deaths are preventable. There are measures to be taken to reduce the number of fatalities--measures that are described in this resolution. These firefighters don't have to die. The number of deaths can be reduced, but we have to do more. Not only can we ill-afford to lose over 100 firefighters a year, but we cannot afford to lose any. I fully support the goals of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and the United States Fire Administration with respect to firefighter safety. I truly believe that at the end of the day, every firefighter must go home.

Mr. Speaker, I missed nine votes on June 17th, 2005 because I was attending my daughter's graduation from elementary school. Had I been present I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall Nos. 274, 275, 276, 277, 278 and 281. I would have voted ``no'' on rollcall Nos. 279, 280 and 282.

Mr. Speaker, this Nation and the great State of New Jersey has lost one of its foremost public servants. Congressman Peter Rodino was a man who truly honored the law, and when the country called on him in time of crisis, Mr. Rodino rose to greatness. I will always remember Peter Rodino for faithfully honoring the values that brought him to prominence in our Nation's history: honesty, humility, patience, and service.

Peter Rodino represented the district of New Jersey in which he lived his whole life. Born in Newark, he worked his way through law school and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1941. He was awarded the Bronze Star for valor during World War II. He continued to serve his country in the House, elected to the 81st Congress in 1949. He served for 40 years, retiring in 1989, and turning his seat over to my friend, the Honorable Donald Payne.

Most of us will remember Peter Rodino for his superb leadership of the House Judiciary Committee during the Nixon Impeachment Hearings. His patient and deliberative style gave the proceedings real credibility, and helped to hold the country together at a time of great upheaval. His reverence to the Constitution ensured that the painful and difficult hearings proceeded as our forefathers had envisioned. Peter Rodino was called upon by his country in time of crisis, and he rose to the challenge.

Peter Rodino will be sorely missed. In an age of bitter partisanship, Mr. Rodino was a calming voice. He guided the country through one of its darkest periods in recent history, and did so with grace and humility. Mr. Rodino's legacy of service to his country and his fellow man will surely be remembered for years to come.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the retirement of Rabbi Richard A.

Levine and to honor his years of commitment to education and tolerance in our community.

Rabbi Levine has worked hard for the Jewish community over the past 40 years. He was the first New Jersey Rabbi ever to serve as President of the Greater Philadelphia Board of Rabbis. He has served as a member of the board and president for countless Jewish organizations in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware area.

Locally, Rabbi Levine has been committed to helping children and teenagers in South Jersey. He is a very active participant in many programs of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. In the greater community he has chaired a number of regional councils or committees, such as Operation Head Start, which is dedicated to the education of our youth. Rabbi Levine is a regular speaker at regional high schools, teaching students a myriad of topics including interpersonal relationships and family life. Leading over 30 tours since 1955 to Israel, Rabbi Levine has managed to educate new and old generations alike about the country.

Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to honor Rabbi Richard Levine today. He has certainly accomplished much for our community in the past 40 years, and I know Adath Emanu-El will miss him dearly. I thank him for his dedicated community service and wish Rabbi Richard Levine all the best in his future endeavors.

Mr. Chairman, I thank my good friend, the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding me this time, and I rise in strong support of the amendment that the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) has proffered. I commend the gentleman from Illinois for being the original author of the amendment, and I am proud to be his cosponsor.

The reason we need this amendment is that a quantity of nuclear materials that could be put into a suitcase and made into a nuclear weapon and detonated in Times Square or in some other major place in the United States or around the world could be legally obscured from international inspection under the present protocol. This inspection protocol was written at a time when nuclear weapons were only reusable on warheads or submarines. It ignored the deadly new technology that can compress the size of the weapons, but not their deadliness.

The fact of the matter is that no quantity of uranium or plutonium that could be used for weapon purposes is too small for inspection. Those who would deem it worthy of using these quantities are more dangerous with smaller amounts.

So the idea here is that the international inspection regime be geared to the realities of the present risk. It is a very good idea. I would urge Members on both sides to support it so we can preclude the awful day when a very small amount of weapons material makes a very big and horrible difference for innocent people in our country or innocent people around the world.

I would urge a ``yes'' vote in favor of the amendment.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the recent graduates from the Gloucester County College and Gloucester County Institute of Technology GED programs. These students have now completed their high school education and earned their diplomas. I commend them for their dedication and hard work, and hope that their education will not end here. Education is a lifelong goal, one that serves to promote the betterment of the individual, and of society. I ask them to read the newspaper; read a novel; write poetry; study current events; talk to friends and family about the issues of the day. Their graduation today is a starting point from which they can grow and learn, and I wish these students all the best in their future endeavors.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the sixth grade class of Atlantic Avenue Elementary School for its fundraising efforts to aid South-East Asia's tsunami victims during their epic crisis. The class's touching response to an event half a world away reflects the students' broad horizons and a mature appreciation for how connected we are to others.

In response to the tsunami, these students organized a spirit week with fun activities requiring a donation to participate. During the course of this week, under Mrs. Elizabeth Smith's leadership, Jacquelyn Andrews, Claudia Biddle, Peter Capano, Tyler Carr, Caitlin Cohen, Tyler Franceschini, George Gans, Gregory Gardner, Theodore Hagenbucher, Benjamin Huber, McKenna Knoettner, Marisa Konopka, Nichole Landis, Joshua Matchett, Angela Mongoni, Alexander Oswald, Jillian Pauls, Kathleen Quinn, John-Patrick Rabena, Yelaila Ramos, Andrew Snyder, Tori Southern, Michael Wasienko, and Samantha Wentz, significantly surpassed their fundraising goals and raised an incredible $1000 to help those in need. These students have grown into empathetic citizens and will continue to contribute their extraordinary talents to the betterment of humankind. In their dedication, ability, and contribution to the tsunami relief effort, the sixth graders of Mrs. Smith's class are an inspiration to students everywhere, and indeed to all citizens of the Great Nation of the United States of America.

On June 17, 2005, Mrs. Smith's class will be joined by family and friends to celebrate graduation to junior high school. I am certain that they will carry proud memories of their admirable efforts throughout their lives. I congratulate the graduating sixth grade class of Atlantic Avenue Elementary School for its noble fundraising efforts, and look forward to the continued success of these future leaders.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the volunteers of the USS New Jersey, which is located in my district in Camden, New Jersey. The ship has been open to the public since 2000 and is our Nation's most decorated battleship, having heroically served in three major conflicts: World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

The volunteers of the USS New Jersey are responsible for many things on the ship, including restoration and maintenance, giving tours, clerical work, and educating the community about the ship and its history. Volunteers work 7 days a week, rain or shine, and have logged over 300,000 hours of volunteer time. In 2000, they won the Governor's Volunteerism Award for their extraordinary work.

Below are the names of the dedicated volunteers of the USS New Jersey:
