             NONDISCRIMINATION FOR LGBT FEDERAL CONTRACTORS

  (Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, with the stroke of a pen, 
President Obama will extend workplace protections to 14 million LGBT 
Federal contractors.
  Thankfully, LGBT San Diegans are already protected by State law, but 
this is not the case for all Americans.
  I applaud the President for doing the right thing. Now it is time for 
Congress to end discrimination for all workers.
  California and 17 other States have shown that these protections 
aren't just the right thing to do, they are good policy and good 
business.
  Discrimination has no place in government. Discrimination has no 
place in the work place.
  It is past time for Congress to listen to the American people. The 
Senate has already passed the Employment

Nondiscrimination Act. Let's bring ENDA to the floor and pass it today.
