Quote – Statement of the National Association of Manufacturers at the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare (Subcommittee on Labor). Aug 1, 1962.

…the passage of Federal legislation will add an unnecessary additional Federal bureaucracy and the inherent added enforcement expense will only increase the already large deficit in the Federal budget. State action and voluntary employer activity have done an excellent job in the area of equal pay to date, and we are optimistic that such activity will proceed at an even faster pace in the future.

From the Prepared Statement of the National Association of Manufacturers at the Senate Committee on Labor and public Welfare (Subcommittee on Labor) hearing “Equal Pay Act of 1962.”
