Quote – William Miller representative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Testimony, House Hearing.

The people of each state, and they alone, are best qualified to judge whether conditions in their own jurisdiction are such that there is social need for an equal pay law….Any view that only the Federal Government can handle this problem shows a distrust of the States and indicates an unfortunate trend toward creating an over-centralized, top-heavy government by bringing all problems to Washington.

From the written testimony of William Miller representative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at the House hearing “Equal Pay Act”.
