Remarks at the Silica Final Rule Announcement, International Masonry Institute Training Center, Bowie, MD, March 24, 2016 - United States Department of Labor: [as prepared for delivery] Good morning, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for an historic announcement. Tom, thank you for that kind introduction. Thank you for your courage in sharing the anguish of losing your dad so tragically and unnecessarily. I don’t blame you for being outraged, as you said in the video. Today, we’re taking a step that I hope honors your father’s memory as best we can. We can’t bring him back, but we can do everything in our power to make sure others don’t suffer the way he did.
