WASHINGTON-House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today delivered remarks on the House floor in support of the bipartisan (H.R. 159 ), a bill introduced by Representative Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) that ensures government agencies are equipped with the tools to provide objective, skills-based assessments to evaluate job candidates.
Chairman Comer noted that many government agencies lack modernized tools to identify the most qualified job candidates. This bill helps improve upon bipartisan policy initiatives to evaluate candidates in order to strengthen the federal workforce to deliver services to the American people, defend our nation, and execute the laws passed by Congress.
Below are Chairman Comer’s remarks as prepared for delivery.
