I think his questions are quite pertinent on personnel, but I also want to say Mr. Wiedefeld is the first general manager, in my memory, who has had the intentional fortitude to impose discipline.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for that very thoughtful opening statement.

There are many of us up here who support the JCPOA, who believe fervently the JCPOA is working.

I also want to recognize Representative Torres for her work to advance House Resolution 145.

Today, we'll examine the shortcomings and benefits of the yearlong WMATA rehabilitation program known as SafeTrack.

I've got to give Mr. Wiedefeld credit. He's the first general manager, in living memory, to have the willingness to expend political capital to address those issues.

We don't want to descend to that level.

We feel, I think on a bipartisan basis, people need to be held accountable.

I'm willing to help in a bipartisan way.

Amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 1644 offered by the Honorable Gerald E. Connolly, a Representative in Congress from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I next want to thank Representative Cicilline for introducing House Resolution 137.

I commend Congresswoman Torres, who introduced this timely and bipartisan piece of legislation.

This is very relevant to us, as the chairman knows, because we are, as we speak, looking at additional sanctions legislation.
