SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) throughout the history of the United States, 
English has been the common thread to unify the 
American people much as they are united under one 
flag; 
(2) Americans overwhelmingly believe that it is 
very important for people living in the United States 
to speak and understand English; 
(3) there is vast support among the American 
people to allow a company to require its employees 
to speak English while on the job; 
(4) the EEOC has sued the Salvation Army for 
implementing an ‘‘English in the Workplace’’ policy 
which gives employees a year to learn English; and 
(5) when a group of employees speaks a lan-
guage other than English in the workplace, it may 
cause misunderstandings, create dangerous cir-
cumstances, and undermine morale. 
SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PERMIS-
SIBLE. 
Section 703 of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e–2) is amended by adding at the
