"As a former Vice Chair of the NTSB, I understand well the important role the Board plays in promoting our Nation's transportation safety."

"I am concerned about another aspect of the Colgan air crash, which we have talked about a lot."

"I just want to ask Ms. Hersman, the Board has recommended that Congress expand the Board's responsibilities by explicitly authorizing the Board to investigate incidents as well as accidents."

"I see that point and I appreciate it, and I think that we should be more clear because, of course, we want to prevent the accidents before there are fatalities."
