you look below this message, you can find an email I received from Senator
Chris Murphy. Clearly, Senator Murphy does not yet understand the
devastating problems in the Workforce Investment Act. This bill, as
currently written, threatens every one of us. We need to make absolutely
sure that he understands the problems of the Workforce Investment Act.
My hypothesis is that he hasn’t received enough contact from our members to
take the time to really pay attention to what we are saying.

you for contacting me about the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). I
appreciate your correspondence and hope that you find this response
helpful.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 14pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in">Our
country has always had the best workforce in the world, but we risk losing
that edge in the future. People in the workforce today too often don't have
the on-the-job training they need to succeed, and young adults about to enter
the workforce are less educated than the previous generation. On top of that,
most of the 50 million new jobs that will be created by 2018 require
post-secondary credentials and higher education levels. As a country, we're
further behind than we should be, and it is Congress's responsibility to
support organizations throughout the country that are dedicated to improving
our workforce readiness. <BR><BR>The original WIA legislation was first passed
by Congress in 1998, and the law has been overdue for re-authorization since
2003. I was therefore proud to vote for S.1356, the <I>Workforce
Investment Act of 2013</I>, which was passed by the U.S. Senate Committee on
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on July 31, 2013. This bill contains
changes to the legislation that reflect the ever-changing global economy, as
well as input from Connecticut businesses, education, and labor groups. By
allowing local workforce development organizations to tailor their programs to
their regions' specific needs, the legislation will help provide local
solutions to specific regional issues. The bill also focuses on improving
the Job Corps program, which has recently faced serious funding challenges,
making the program more stable and allowing young people to rely on these
centers to give them the tools they need to succeed.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 14pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in">Rest
assured that I will be encouraging my colleagues to support this bill as it
moves to the full Senate. Without it, we're putting our country's economic
future at a significant disadvantage.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<P>Thank you again for contacting me about this matter. I appreciate
hearing from you and assure you that I will always do my best to
represent the views of my constituents in the Senate. In the future,
please do not hesitate to call me in my Connecticut office at (860) 549-8463
or my Washington office at (202) 224-4041. <o:p></o:p></P>

Best
