Byron Dorgan: “Don't ever pick a fight with the railroads, because it's one you'll never win.”

I spent much of my time as Chairman of this committee focused on increasing funding for the IHS and trying to force some systemic changes in the bureaucracy that plagues that agency.

This is not happening.

I wanted to say one of my regrets is I don't think we do enough in our Congress of oversight hearings.

What you and members of this Committee can do and will do by putting the spotlight on this spot will save lives.
