Well, thanks, Chair Larsen, for calling this important hearing on improving the air travel experience for passengers with disabilities.
This has always been a bipartisan issue, and we should be able to make more progress.
I also want to thank Chairman DeFazio in particular for his work in shaping this legislation.
Senator Tammy Baldwin introduced legislation last Congress that all rail labor unions and shipper groups from a wide array of industries, including the American Chemistry Council (ACC) endorsed.
