# Statement on the Minimum Wage Increase for Federal Employees and Contractors

​Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2022
Statement on the Minimum Wage Increase for Federal Employees and Contractors January 28, 2022
A job is about more than a paycheck. It's about dignity. When I was running for President, I said it was past time to increase the Federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Last year, I made a downpayment on that pledge with Executive orders directing my administration to work toward ensuring that employees working on Federal contracts and Federal employees earned a $15 per hour minimum wage.
These directives go into effect this Sunday, meaning nearly 70,000 Federal workers will immediately start to earn $15 an hour, and 300,000 employees of Federal contractors will start to see a raise to $15 an hour reflected in their paychecks over the course of the year.
These are the customer service representatives who answer the phones to ensure that Americans get the health care they deserve; wildland firefighters who protect our forests and communities; custodial workers who keep our military bases clean and safe; nursing assistants who care for our veterans; and laborers who build and repair Federal facilities. The workers that will disproportionately benefit from this pay increase are women, workers of color, and workers with disabilities.
This increase will provide those workers and their families a little more breathing room. And because we know that higher wages boost productivity and mean lower job turnover, these orders will allow the Government to do its work better and faster.
These workers benefiting from these actions are critical to the functioning of the Federal Government and of our Nation, and I'm proud that their wages will begin to reflect that. I continue to urge Congress to raise the Federal minimum wage to $15 an hour so that American workers can have a job that delivers dignity.

# Statement on the Agreement Concerning the Deployment of 5G Cellular Communications Technology

​Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2022
Statement on the Agreement Concerning the Deployment of 5G Cellular Communications Technology January 18, 2022
I want to thank Verizon and AT&T for agreeing to delay 5G deployment around key airports and to continue working with the Department of Transportation on safe 5G deployment at this limited set of locations. This agreement will avoid potentially devastating disruptions to passenger travel, cargo operations, and our economic recovery, while allowing more than 90 percent of wireless tower deployment to occur as scheduled. This agreement protects flight safety and allows aviation operations to continue without significant disruption and will bring more high-speed internet options to millions of Americans. Expanding 5G and promoting competition in internet service are critical priorities of mine, and tomorrow will be a massive step in the right direction. My team has been engaging nonstop with the wireless carriers, airlines, and aviation equipment manufacturers to chart a path forward for 5G deployment and aviation to safely coexist, and at my direction, they will continue to do so until we close the remaining gap and reach a permanent, workable solution around these key airports.
Categories: Statements by the President : 5G cellular communications technology, agreement on deployment.

# Statement on the Congressional Committee Chairs dinner

Delivered from the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC on 4 March 2009.
Everybody, please be seated. Do not fear, no long speeches here. (Laughter.) We just want to say welcome on behalf of Michelle and myself. We're so glad all of you could join us.
Obviously the country is going through an extraordinarily difficult time, and we are going to have some monumental debates taking place over the next several months and years. We also know that we're not always going to agree on everything. But given how hard so many of you are working on both sides of the aisle, day in, day out, we thought it was important for us to be able to step back for a moment, remind ourselves that we have things in common -- family, friends, laughter -- and hopefully, we'll have a chance to appreciate each other a little bit, take a timeout before we dive back into the game.
So we hope you have a wonderful evening -- not to mention the fact that this is a pretty big house, so we get lonely. (Laughter.) So -- and it's hard for me to move around out there sometimes so I've got to bring the world to me.
But, anyway, I'm grateful for all of you coming. Michelle is thrilled that you're here. And we hope you just have a wonderful evening.
Thank you.

# Statement on the Death of Germaine Casey

Police officer Germaine Casey died in a motorcycle accident while escorting the Presidential motorcade through New Mexico in August 2007. See Wikinews:Officer dies after accident in President Bush's motorcade
Officer Germaine Casey of the Rio Rancho Police Department died today from injuries suffered while serving as a member of my security detail in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am deeply saddened by his death and extraordinarily grateful for his protection. It is a high calling to choose to serve and protect your fellow citizens, and I will always be indebted to Officer Casey's service.
He leaves behind his wife Lisa and their two children. They are in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort the Casey family and his fellow law enforcement officials.
# Statement on the House of Representatives Passage of House Joint Resolution 17

Published 2021-03-17
Today, an historic number of women in Congress in a bipartisan vote—under the leadership of our historic Speaker — expressed their support for a principle in which I also deeply believe: that in the United States of America, no one’s rights should be denied on account of their sex.
When Congress first sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification, I was a 29-year-old first-time Senate candidate. As a young Senator, as now, it was a simple proposition for me — fighting for the ERA was about fighting for the dignity of women, and for the dignity of our nation. Nearly 50 years later, it is long past time that we enshrine the principle of gender equality in our Constitution.
Gender equality is not only a moral issue. The full participation of women and girls across all aspects of our society is essential to our economic prosperity, our security, and the health of our democracy. This is especially critical right now, as the collision of a public health crisis, economic crisis, and caregiving crisis has erased decades of women’s economic gains and pushed more women out of the American workforce than we’ve seen in more than 30 years.
Now is the time for us to recommit ourselves to tearing down the systemic barriers that continue to fuel gender disparities and limit opportunity for half of the American people.

# Statement on the House passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Issued on 28 January 2009.
Last year, America lost 2.6 million jobs. On Monday alone, we learned that some of our biggest employers plan to cut another 55,000. This is a wakeup call to Washington that the American people need us to act and act immediately.
That is why I am grateful to the House of Representatives for moving the American Recovery and Reinvestment plan forward today. There are many numbers in this plan. It will double our capacity to generate renewable energy. It will lower the cost of health care by billions and improve its quality. It will modernize thousands of classrooms and send more kids to college. And it will put billions of dollars in immediate tax relief into the pockets of working families.
But out of all these numbers, there is one that matters most to me: this recovery plan will save or create more than three million new jobs over the next few years.
I can also promise that my administration will administer this recovery plan with a level of transparency and accountability never before seen in Washington. Once it is passed, every American will be able to go the website recovery.gov and see how and where their money is being spent.
The plan now moves to the Senate, and I hope that we can continue to strengthen this plan before it gets to my desk. But what we can't do is drag our feet or allow the same partisan differences to get in our way. We must move swiftly and boldly to put Americans back to work, and that is exactly what this plan begins to do.
