                          Overtime Protections

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I take note that the Senate, a little 
while ago, for the fourth time, passed the overtime protections bill 
yesterday. This is the same bill the House has already passed twice. So 
I hope they act as soon as possible on the bill we sent them yesterday. 
There is no reason we cannot get the discharge petition in the House of 
Representatives on that and also the provisions that we passed on FDA 
protections for children.
  I hope President Bush is listening to the bipartisan majorities in 
the House and Senate who repeatedly tell him to repeal those parts of 
his regulation on overtime that take away pay for hard-working, middle-
class Americans.
