<div>The workforce investment act is a bill in the Senate. That's why the prefix on it is "S".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is important for people to focus first on contacting our senators (Murphy and Blumenthal).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone wants to contact Rosa DiLauro, I encourage you to focus on HR 831, the fair wages for workers with disabilities act of 2013. We have been communicating extensively with her office, especially a legislative assistant named Daniel Zeitlin, about
HR 831 and our need for Rosa DeLauro to cosponsor it.<br>
<br>
His email address is: </div>

enough contact from our members to take the time to really pay attention to what we are saying.

<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 14pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in">Thank you for contacting me about the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). I appreciate your correspondence and hope that you find this response helpful.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 14pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 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.</div>
<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 14pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 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.</div>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div> Every Best Wish,<br>
<br>
Christopher S. Murphy<br>
United States Senator</div>
