  Ms. HOOLEY. Madam Speaker, rise today to honor and recognize the 70 
Oregonian workers who died on the job in 2006. In addition, I would 
also like to pay tribute to the 19 brave Oregonians who died last year 
while wearing the uniform and defending our freedoms.

  On this 19th anniversary of Workers Memorial Day, let us acknowledge 
the steps that have been taken to address workplace safety but let us 
never overlook the obstacles and challenges that remain.
  We have an obligation in this Chamber to do everything in our power 
to ensure that hardworking Americans are protected from unsafe 
workplaces. These men and women have worked to make our Nation great 
and now we must recommit ourselves to ensuring their safety.
