Eleanor Holmes Norton actually said...

"You do have a problem. And not only that, let me ask you this. The FRA is now working to preempt State and local laws that seek to implement the two-person rule. Why are you doing that?"

"the FRA itself--I am pointing to a 2016 study--it said--has studies showing the benefits of a second crewmember, and other information detailing potential safety benefits of multiperson crews."

"Well, so why in 2016 did the FRA say it 'has studies showing the benefits of a second crewmember'?"

"I want to pick up on Mr. Lynch's statement, because this notion of the two-man crews, or two-person crews, has been going back and forth in this committee for a very long time."
