> Over the summer the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) S. 1356 was passed by
> the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.  We have been
> told that this bill may be coming to the Senate floor for a vote soon, and
> it is being pre-conferenced with members of the U.S. House of
> Representatives.  There are aspects of this bill that we need the Senate to
> fix before it becomes law.
