Could expand on the ice breakers. What is your opinion, what is development should be . There was a news the other day about possible International Cooperation in u. S. Have having u. S. Icebreaking capability and whats the minimum level the u. S. Should have. Thank you. Okay. Russia. One of those things the United States is deeply appreciative of is that the other arctic countries have stood shoulder to shoulder together in terms of their opposition to the lawful incurrings in the ukraine and russias violation of ukraines sovereignty. They have all adopted the sanctions and support the sanctions, and we as a one triare grateful. One thing were analysis agreement on is the seven other arctic countries, United States and the other six minus russia all believe that we should for the good of the arctic for the environment, and other important issues, we need to keep russia in the fold and keep communication open. We are all committed to that. I have relayed the message that the military r
Additional 9,000 to its credit cards despite owing a whopping 311,000 in debt. Hardworking taxpayers are counting on us to set priorities and to stick to them because a balanced budget will boost our nations economic output and help restore the promise of a government that is more effective. A balanced budget will allow americans to spend more time working hard to grow their businesses or to advance in their jobs instead of worrying about taxes and inefficient regulations. We know it wont be easy by working together we can deliver Real Solutions and Real Progress the American People want and deserve. I look forward to working with each and everyone of you in this crucial task in the days and weeks ahead. Chairman price . I want to thank the chairman and appreciate everybodys participation. I would note that the number of senators significantly outnumbers the number of house members but were fine with that. We think we have equal firepower. So were raring to go with the Conference Commi
Sitting around, and we were writing regulations for i dont remember if it was the Fair Housing Act or the housing part of the americans with disabilities act, but anyway we were there and we were deciding you know what the rule should be for employers when it came to ramps and door knobs and sunken living rooms and all kinds of stuff like that. And it was appalling. You know, none of us knows at that table knew anything about the business of how to build an apartment complex. Why were we sitting around, you know making up all these rules . It was just very scary. Hes another part did i hear you say earlier in your testimony that you didnt have to have a familiarity with something in order to do the job . Well, no, i didnt say that. I said that you didnt think you had to be to put it bluntly, i dont think that you have to be a black person in order to be able to sell pepsis to a black person. And this notion that only members of a particular group can effectively market to members of th
Employees. We have a body of law and several years at least of experience. But title 7 has been worked out perfectly but its very controversial. One of the things that developed quite late sometimes 50 years after it passes. For example, right here, weve been told that title 7 can be used in terms of Sexual Orientation and gender identity. Nobody would have thought that in 1964. And maybe thats the right way to interpret it, or maybe its the wrong way. But its wrong to suggest that the language is not going to be a problem, because its not a problem now. Thats not the way statutes work. I understand that but i think its more important in your considerations to address what is the real problem now that we are trying to ameliorate. I think thats the wrong approach. We have a problem we have to deal with it right now. Lets go with whatever good language we have. We want good language. That wont be abused in the future. We want it to cover only the things we want it to cover. Do we have th
Passage of such legislation to prohibit on the basis of discrimination on the basis of sexual or orientation or gender identity in the same way that title vii of the Civil Rights Act of 64 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or National Origin. In conclusion, Workplace Discrimination is a pervasive issue that prevents employees from meaningfully contributing their talents to our nations workforce. Workers who encounter antilgbt sentiments or actions are faced with a perilous choice of either hiding their lgtb identity in the workplace or risking discriminatory treatment and harassment by disclosing their lgtb identity. While eeoc protection take shape and agencies issue guidance it will take time for employers and employees to recognize the Legal Protection available. We hope that more data will be collected as we await a new legal precedent or legislation will set this matter unequivocally in the path. On behalf of the task force i would like to thank t
