DENNIS J. KUCINICH\n\n                                of ohio\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Friday, December 15, 2000\n\n  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a distinguished\npublic servant and a truly remarkable woman, the current Administrator\nof the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Jolene Molitoris.\n  A true champion of railroad safety, Jolene Molitoris was appointed by\nthe President of the United States William J. Clinton, to be the first\nfemale Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration in 1993. In\nher tireless effort to improve safety in the United States and around\nthe world, Administrator Molitoris established zero tolerance for any\nsafety hazard as the industry standard. In addition, she created\npartnerships with rail labor and management, achieving historic\nincreases in all safety categories. As a testament to the outstanding\nleadership of Administrator Molitoris, the FRA began its transformation\nfrom a traditional regulatory agency into a result and consumer-focused\norganization.\n  Under Administrator Molitoris' management (1993-1999), the public\nenjoyed the safest seven-year period in history. During this period\nthere was a 43-percent reduction in employee injuries and fatalities\nand a 30-percent reduction in grade crossing injuries and deaths.\n  Throughout her years of public service, Administrator Molitoris has\nreceived many honors, including being named by Railway Age Magazine as\none of the 16 most respected and admired ``Great Railroaders of the\n20th Century.'' In 1999, Administrator Molitoris received three awards:\nthe Ellis Island Medal of Honor awarded by the National Ethnic\nCoalition of Organizations Foundation, Inc; and the Jolene M. Molitoris\nGolden Spike Award created by the Indiana High Speed Rail Association.\nAlso, in 1999, the New Jersey Division of the Polish American Congress\nhonored Administrator Molitoris as their Millennium Woman of the Year.\n  On a personal note, I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with\nJolene Molitoris on a great many initiatives. I have great respect and\nadmiration for her public service career. She is a person of solid\nintegrity who possesses a true desire to serve the public's best\ninterest. She is an individual of tremendous talent and her leadership\nof the FRA will be long remembered.\n  I ask my colleagues to join me in rising to honor this truly\nremarkable public servant for her distinguished years of service, and\nher dedication to making our Nation's railways safer.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2000-12-15-pt1-PgE2190"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 14.800033997744322, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
