It is staggering that the Biden administration would say Russia is still on our side trying to constrain Iran.

This Administration has shown weakness on Iran since day one and continues to do so.

You said you just noticed recently the growing cooperation between Russia and Iran. If you were not aware of that 2 years ago, this Administration has not been paying attention.

Why is this Administration funding both sides of this war?

Last year you signed waivers specifically related to the Iran nuclear deal that suspended congressional sanctions against Russia and Iran conducting exactly this kind of nuclear cooperation.

Let me encourage you, make it right is a real commitment and this committee expects Norfolk Southern to do exactly that.

Iran had become 'Russia's top military backer.'

I will say there are portions of the Brown bill as currently drafted that concern me, in particular giving significantly more authority to the Department of Transportation.

I applaud him and I applaud Senator Brown for focusing on their constituents.

from our analysis, none of the regulatory changes made during the Trump Administration at this point can be cited as contributing to the accident.

This legislation fixes that problem as it should.

Thank you also for giving voice--there are other moms from East Palestine who are here with you and standing with you.
