Eleanor Holmes Norton actually said...

Congress, in the wake of this historic crash that so alarmed the country, many of us introduced a bill...

Metro bus and rail service plays an indispensable role in the day-to-day operations of the Federal Government.

I was astonished that bus drivers... were being attacked apparently often enough so that a job action was threatened.

Most of us did not know--I don't believe I knew until the crash--that there were no national rail standards.
