STATEMENT FROM SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION NORMAN Y. MINETA REGARDING THE RECESS
APPOINTMENTS OF FLOYD HALL AND ENRIQUE SOSA
“Since the President first appointed Floyd Hall and Enrique Sosa in 2004, they
have worked tirelessly, donating their time, energy, and significant business
expertise to reforming Amtrak. Their nominations have been before Congress for
almost two years, and as there has been no action on either of them, the
President has moved to ensure Amtrak’s board has enough members needed to
establish a quorum. I look forward to working with Congress to ensure timely
action is taken on future board nominations so Amtrak can be in the best
possible position to better serve travelers’ needs.”
