Congressman Byrne said: “Mandating harassment training is an important first step toward combatting sexual harassment and discrimination claims in Congress. Training will ensure that all Members of Congress and our staffs understand what sexual harassment is and how to report instances of abuse. “I applaud Congresswoman Comstock for introducing this legislation and pushing for its swift consideration. I look forward to continuing to work with Congresswoman Comstock, Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and the House Administration Committee to combat sexual harassment and improve the way such claims are handled in Congress.” Earlier this month, Byrne testified before the House Administration Committee with his suggestions to improve the way sexual harassment claims are handled in Congress. Mandatory training was a key provision of his suggestions. Click here to watch Congressman Byrne’s testimony before the House Administration Committee.
