    Statement of Charles Mathias Associate Chief, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau Federal Communications Commission Before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Hearing on Passenger Rail Safety: Accident Prevention and On‐Going Efforts to Implement Train Control Technology June 10, 2015 Chairman Thune, Ranking Member Nelson, and distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me to testify before the Committee today. Like the rest of the nation, we at the FCC are deeply saddened by the tragic Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia. We send our condolences to the families of those who lost their loved ones and our gratitude to the first responders for their efforts. I want to assure you that the FCC is doing – and will continue to do – its part to facilitate the implementation of Positive Train Control, or PTC. Promoting the safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communication is a top FCC priority. Since passage of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (Act), we have worked directly with freight, passenger, and commuter rails to help them obtain spectrum licenses and complete statutorily‐ required historic preservation and environmental reviews prior to deploying infrastructure to implement PTC. We have also worked closely with existing spectrum licensees, our federal partners, including the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), as well as Tribal Nations and state officials to facilitate the implementation of Positive Train Control. THE FCC’S ROLE IN PTC As the nation’s expert agency on communications, the FCC helps facilitate spectrum acquisition by freight and passenger railroads.

Moreover, it reveals the “secret history” of the Fair Housing Act, namely, that it passed in 1968 not through congressional perfidy, but rather through a classic political deal between President Lyndon Johnson and Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen, in which a weakened Dirksen agreed to support fair housing to preserve his leadership position and very probably his Senate seat.
