![["The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the AFL-CIO are concerned about the interference of the Office of Management and Budget in the OSHA rulemaking process, which they believe negatively impacts worker safety and health. They are calling for a report by the Committee on Government Operations on this issue and urge Congress to consider the impact of Executive Order 12291 on worker safety and health regulation. They also raise concerns about OSHA's regulatory actions, specifically the watering down of the commercial diving standard. They request a report on these issues to be brought before the full Committee on Government Operations for consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201983-1984,%201986/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Response to Flawed Nader Report on Occupational Safety and Health")
![["Congressman Mickey Edwards is leading a delegation to El Salvador and Guatemala to meet with government officials and assess the need for foreign aid. Edwards has been critical of foreign aid spending and is concerned about the political and economic situation in both countries. He believes the US needs to be more selective in providing assistance and make decisions based on long-term interests and containment of Soviet influence. The delegation will also discuss President Reagan's Caribbean Basin Initiative. Edwards has a history of advocating for cuts in foreign aid spending."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Mickey%20Edwards%20Collection,%201977-1992/CAC_CC_016_2_55_28_0000-Administrative,%20Schedules,%201985-1992/thumbnails/CAC_CC_016_2_55_28_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Congressman Mickey Edwards to Lead Delegation to El Salvador and Guatemala for Foreign Aid Assessment")
![["Commissioner Grimes of the Oklahoma Insurance Department is expressing concern about the Department of Labor's recent opinion granting ERISA preemption to Diversified Industrial Group, allowing them to avoid state regulation. The Oklahoma Insurance Department feels that the Department of Labor did not conduct an independent investigation before issuing the opinion and believes it could lead to financial harm for consumers. As a result, they will forward all complaints and inquiries about Diversified to the Dallas branch of the Department of Labor, stating that the Department of Labor has exclusive jurisdiction over the program. They have also informed various government officials of their concerns."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_8_0000-Labor,%20ERISA%20Preemption%20of%20Diversified%20Industrial%20Group%20from%20State%20Regulation,%201991/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_8_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Department of Labor Response Regarding Preemption of State Regulation for DIG Pension and Welfare Plan")
![["The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is seeking comments on the use of engineering controls versus personal protective equipment in limiting worker exposure to air contaminants. OSHA is reviewing its policy that favors engineering controls over respirators and is requesting feedback on potential revisions to existing standards. The agency is interested in factors such as worker health, advances in respirator technology, and costs associated with each method of exposure control. Specific issues OSHA seeks comments on include the relative merits of engineering controls and personal protective equipment, situations where a combination of both methods might be used, and potential priority for different engineering controls. Comments should be submitted by June 22 to the OSHA Docket Officer in Washington, D.C."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%201983-1984,%201986/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_14_0004_thumbnail.jpg "OSHA Inspections Increase in FY 1982, Focus on Dangerous Worksites")
