On the recordApril 20, 1998
I cannot agree more. States need the full participation of every stakeholder in order for a one-call program to be successful. A comprehensive national one-call initiative is far from comprehensive, far from national, if a major industry that has a significant role in the location of pipelines along their rights of way chooses to take a walk on an initiative that is important in protecting our communities and the environment against the damage incurred by pipeline accidents. ... It would be a shame if we missed out on this opportunity to pass this safety initiative only because of the railroad industry.
