Chairman Murphy. Good morning. We will now commence the rehearing of the Davis-Bacon Reform Act. I, in deference to my good friend and colleague, Mr. Stenholm, will submit my remarks for the record, about 35 minutes' worth, so that you may proceed, Charlie. We won't hold you up, I know you have another hearing to go to. [The prepared statement of Hon. Austin J. Murphy follows: ] Statement of Hon. Austin J. Murphy, a Representative in Congress from the State of Pennsylvania Once again we are here to take up the age old debate on reform of the Davis-Bacon Act. Even though dates and some people have changed, we are still seeking to reform this law in nearly the same manner that the House of Representatives has successfully accepted twice before. Similarly, the opponents of this historic Act are just as intent on repeal or emasculation of Federal prevailing wage law under the banner of budgetary restraint. The Committee on Education and Labor has had a longstanding commitment to our colleagues in the House to address the issue of reform of the Davis-Bacon Act. Once more we are renewing this commitment. Hopefully, we may see real reform enacted in this Congress. In the previous two Congresses, the Subcommittee on Labor Standards held several hearings on this issue to examine problems identified with the application of the Act to specific Federal construction projects as well as deficiencies in enforcement. We have again reviewed the record of those hearings and mark-ups, and I believe the bill before us, H.R. 1231, fairly and equitably addresses the varied concerns of all the interested parties. To those who, in good faith, have urged that the Davis-Bacon Act be updated, I believe that H.R. 1231 will be welcome news.
