U.S. Representative Sandy Levin
12th District of Michigan

(Washington D.C.)- U.S. Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI), a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, made the following brief statement today about the GOP Pension Bill expected to be on the House floor later this week:

“Moving a bill in the hope that it will be improved in conference is a perilous path, especially because the position of the Bush Administration is to seek changes which move in the opposite direction - further imperiling the need for a strong manufacturing base in America.  I continue to oppose the bill which I believe threatens serious negative consequences on the manufacturing sector - both in terms of the short-term competitiveness of companies and the long-term terminations of worker pensions.”
