Sec. \*\*621. - Congressional statement of findings and purpose  
(a)

The Congress hereby finds and declares that -

(1)

in the face of rising productivity and affluence, older workers find themselves disadvantaged in their efforts to retain employment, and especially to regain employment when displaced from jobs;

(2)

the setting of arbitrary age limits regardless of potential for job performance has become a common practice, and certain otherwise desirable practices may work to the disadvantage of older persons;

(3)

the incidence of unemployment, especially long-term unemployment with resultant deterioration of skill, morale, and employer acceptability is, relative to the younger ages, high among older workers; their numbers are great and growing; and their employment problems grave;

(4)

the existence in industries affecting commerce, of arbitrary discrimination in employment because of age, burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce.

(b)

It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment

TEXAS SENATE BILL **631**  
Senate Bill 631  
by Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, and Rep. Gary Walker, R-Plains, makes several changes to the boll weevil eradication program including authorizing a compliance certificate program to ensure payment of eradication assessments. Under this program, the agriculture commissioner may adopt rules relating to a compliance certificate program that include incentives in the form of discounted assessments for growers who pay their eradication assessments early, and penalties and interest for those who pay late. The legislation also establishes an automatic lien on cotton for the foundation when assessment payments are unpaid 60 days after the foundation mails notice of the assessment. The legislation establishes purchasing guidelines for the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation and provides the agriculture commissioner with the authority to inspect the foundation’s books and other financial records.

Well, I can’t speak for **if6was9** , but I thought of [this](http://purduesports.ocsn.com/sports/w-volley/mtt/wischmeier_leah00.html) particular Boilermaker. If she were to visit Tokyo, she could grab a bite to eat at

I was talking about a shot of Jack, with a beer back.

Altho the boilermaker that **Sternvogel** posted would be quite the good option as well…
