Committee approves Bush's choice to head MSHA; Byrd puts choice on hold

摘要

U.S. Senator Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, applauded the committee's confirmation vote in favor of President Bush's nominees for Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA), Edwin Foulke, and Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health (MSHA), Richard Stickler. "I look forward to working with Mr. Foulke and Mr. Stickler on some of the most important workplace and mine safety issues facing the country today," Enzi says. "I am pleased that the HELP Committee has acted quickly to recommend that the Senate confirm them."
