Bob Price Reports- EXKMPTED Appropriation of federal funds for operation of the Departments of Labor and Health. Education and Welfare was the major item of legislation before the House of Representatives last week. It was an especially important bill to residents in our area, since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which operates within the Department of Labor, was included in the bill. OSHA has been one of the most controversial agencies of the government recently because tlie provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 require that OSHA enforce health and safety standards against all firms, regardless of size either in respect to the number of pt'rsons employed by the firm or in respect to the economic feasibility of the firm's compliance with the standards set by that act. As a result of the obvious hardship that would have Ix'en worked on the small businessmen of Texas had they bt'en forced to comply with provisions of the act, 1 introduced a bill in April that would have amended the act in such a way that small business firms would be excepted from the act.
