The Secretary's remark was made in letters to Senator Lister Hill, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, and Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, transmitting a fiscal year progress report on the administration of the controversial legislation.
"I am happy to report," he wrote, "that a fair and cooperative attitude has been prevalent among the majority of those affected by the Evidence of this is the high degree of compliance with this relatively new piece of legislation. Of over 1900 violations found in the past year, more than 98 percent were corrected voluntarily. Recourse to legal action was necessary in only 33 instances in which violations could not otherwise be resolved."
