DUE PROCESS
(Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, this Congress, with a unanimous
voice vote, passed a resolution that mandates antisexual harassment
training for Members and staff.
Of course, it is about time. But here is the thing, Mr. Speaker: it
is pitiful and embarrassing that a Member of Congress would need an
instruction manual that tells them that they must keep their pants on
in their office.
What we need is to create an environment of a safe and respectful
workplace and policies and procedures that will allow victims to come
forward to be fully compensated, for Members to be held accountable,
and to have fair due process.
