Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee’s subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and Census Subcommittee, introduced last week the Protecting America’s Civilian Employees (PACE) Act. The bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to come up with alternatives to furloughs. Farenthold also discusses postal reform and prospects for passage.
