Abstract	Hearings were held in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., to receive testimony concerning the Parental and Medical Leave Act of 1987, a bill intended to promote the economic security of many families by providing for job-protected leave for parents upon the birth, adoption, or serious illness of a child, and temporary medical leave when a child's serious illness prevents a parent from working. Testimony concerned: (1) negative experiences and employment barriers encountered by employed mothers and fathers in the process of adopting a child or arranging leave time from work to care for their newborn; (2) numerous organizations' opposition to or support of the Act; (3) findings of a national survey of employee benefits, concerning leave benefits provided to working women for maternity and parenting by employers of 20 or more workers; (4) national trends toward less pay and fewer benefits and the extent of Federal involvement in employee benefits; (5) the adequacy of the provisions of the Act; (6) the advisability of mandating provisions of the Act; (7) child care leave and maternity disability programs of the Southern New England Telephone Company; (8) the total economic impact of parental leave; (9) findings of the General Accounting Office's investigation and its critique of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's estimates; (10) economic trends tending to justify the Act; (11) experiences of employed parents confronted with the serious disability, illness, or injury of a child; (12) Ronald McDonald Houses providing temporary lodging and support to families of critically ill or injured children receiving medical treatment; (13) legislative priorities of several Northeastern states sponsoring provisions similar to those of the Act; and (14) effects of the legislation if enacted into law. Included in the text are many letters and position papers from heads of businesses, unions, and associations opposing or favoring the Act. (RH)
