On the recordJuly 22, 1996

I strongly support H.R. 3159, to reauthorize the National Transportation Safety Board. I just want to address the issue about the NTSB, about which I have had such very deep and strong admiration for many years. If ever there were a question about the value, the significance, the objectivity, and the meticulous workmanship of this small, effective agency, the National Transportation Safety Board, surely any concerns were put to rest by its work on the tragic ValuJet crash in Florida.
