       MOTION TO TABLE THE MILLER MOTION TO INSTRUCT ON H.R. 2660

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM NUSSLE

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 12, 2004

  Mr. NUSSLE. Mr. Speaker, as those who have followed previous debates 
on the administration's proposed overtime rule changes may know, my 
position is clear. I have voted a number of times to uphold overtime 
protection for workers in Iowa and across the United States. In the 
future, I will continue my commitment to Iowa's workers.
  However, today's motion to instruct introduced by the gentleman from 
California, Mr. Miller, is nothing more than.a twisted procedural 
gimmick. The ridiculous motion would instruct conferees to act on a 
bill that was signed into law months ago. There are no conferees to 
instruct.
  I will keep standing up for Iowa's working families as we consider 
this matter in the future, but those debates should be real and 
meaningful. As such I will vote yes on the motion to table.
