Section 404 of the bill reorganizes the NIST laboratories, including creating an engineering laboratory for manufacturing and construction research. As you are aware, NIST currently performs important research on fire safety. Will this restructuring of the current Building and Fire Research Lab prevent NIST from engaging in this important fire safety research?
Lipinski is questioning the impact of a bill on NIST's fire safety research.

Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.
I don't think that your decision to furlough these 2,000 employees is going to save the day.
Adequate funding for our passenger and freight rail service is a critical thing for improving safety, livability, and growing our economy.
I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
