RAIL AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ACT OF 2007

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1401, the Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007, and I commend the Committees on Homeland Security and Transportation for such an outstanding piece of work. But I also want to just take this opportunity to pay serious appreciation to the chairman of Homeland Security, to the chairman of Transportation, Representative Oberstar, and to the chairman of Judiciary, Representative John Conyers.

I was involved in a situation with an issue that we brought to them, and, as a result of their humaneness, their serious understanding and their recognition of the need to protect the rights of individuals throughout America, I think we ended up with a bill that I am strongly in support of, urge its passage and, again, commend all of these gentleman for their tremendous sensitivity and hard work.
