Dear Mr. Speaker and Senator Byrd:
Section 215(e) of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1314(e), requires the General Counsel of the Office of Compliance to conduct periodic inspections, at least once each Congress, of all Legislative Branch facilities for compliance with employee health and safety standards. On the basis of such inspection, the General Counsel is directed to prepare and submit a report identifying the violations uncovered, describing the steps necessary to achieve their abatement, and assessing the associated risks to employee health and safety. The inspection of facilities during the One Hundred Seventh Congress has been conducted, the results have been compiled, and the mandated Report is herewith delivered.
