The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ASLEEP ON THE JOB WHEN IT COMES TO HIGH-TECH JOB CREATION” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H4227 on June 13, 2000.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ASLEEP ON THE JOB WHEN IT COMES TO HIGH-TECH JOB
CREATION
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Labor is bragging about all the new high-tech jobs they created. Let us check a few of them out. Dust collector, potato peeler, pretzel twisting, mattress testing, pillow stuffer, brassiere cup molder cutter, and panty hose crotch closer.
Does that mean, Mr. Speaker, there is a panty hose crotch closer supervisor job that has been created? What is next? A pocket scientist? Beam me up.
Evidently, the Department of Labor worked so hard that, even when they are sleeping, they are sleeping on the job, Mr. Speaker.
I yield back that the only high tech of the Department of Labor is they are probably getting higher.
