![["Glenn English, a member of Congress from Oklahoma, disagrees with OMB Director David Stockman's comments on farm aid, believing that agriculture is being unfairly targeted for budget cuts. He values input from constituents like Jack Freeman and encourages continued communication on important issues. Some constituents are upset with Stockman, while others agree with him."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0000-Management%20and%20Budget,%201983-1985/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to the Rule of Two Provision in Federal Acquisition Regulation")
![["The document is a correspondence between Congressman Glenn English and the United States Department of Labor regarding an extension of the comment period on OSHA's proposed standard for grain handling facilities. OSHA has extended the deadline until June 8, 1984, to allow interested parties more time to compile data and prepare responses. A hearing will also be conducted in Washington, D.C., to address specific issues raised in objections to the proposal."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Extension Request for Proposed Safety Standards for Grain Handling Facilities")
![["Jimmie L. Jarrell, President of the Oklahoma Farmers Union, spoke out against proposed regulations by OSHA for the grain handling industry, stating they would burden grain elevators and wheat farmers with additional costs and red tape. He believes that existing safety conditions in Oklahoma elevators are sufficient and that the new regulations are unnecessary. Senator Don Nickles called a hearing to assess the impact of the regulations on the agriculture sector. Jarrell and other witnesses testified against the regulations, citing excessive costs for compliance."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0026_thumbnail.jpg "Response to Proposed OSHA Regulations for Grain Handling Facilities")
![["Glenn English, a member of Congress, received a letter from John F. Benham regarding the \"rule of two\" provision in Part 19 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. In response, English thanked Benham for his letter, enclosed a copy of his previous letter on the issue, and expressed his willingness to address any other concerns Benham may have. Benham's letter expressed opposition to the \"rule of two\" provision, stating that it hinders competition and should be replaced by a provision that allows all interested firms to submit bids. The Benham Group, a firm with a long history of federal contract work, relies on federal contracts for its livelihood and believes that open competition is essential for the success of private enterprise."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0000-Management%20and%20Budget,%201983-1985/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_28_0006_thumbnail.jpg "Response from Office of Management and Budget on Federal Acquisition Regulation Compliance")
![["The grain industry opposes proposed OSHA safety regulations for grain-handling facilities, claiming they would be ineffective in preventing fires and explosions and impose a significant economic burden. Industry witnesses argue that the regulations should be revised to reflect industry research findings and focus on developing and implementing safety procedures rather than strict government mandates."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0000-Labor,%20Occupational%20Safety%20and%20Health%20Administration,%20Grain%20Elevators,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_16_0029_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to OSHA Proposals: A Letter from Union Equity Co-Op Exchange")
![["The National Urban League is concerned about a proposed rule that would ban the use of federal funding for political advocacy. They believe the rule is overly broad and raises First Amendment concerns without evidence of need. They are urging Congress to consider passing a resolution of disapproval, introducing legislation to prohibit the rule, and holding hearings on the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Glenn%20Lee%20English,%20Jr.%20Collection/CAC_CC_017_3_170_30_0000-Management%20and%20Budget,%20Federal%20Acquisition%20Regulation%20Rule%20of%20Two%20Provision,%201984/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_017_3_170_30_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Federal Acquisition Regulations: Rule of Two")
