general feinberg. ms. feinberg: mr. chief justice and may it please the court -- petitioners advance two claims, a facial challenge and an as-applied one. those claims are reviewed under exacting scrutiny, the standard this court has long applied to reporting and disclosure requirements. to prevail on their facial claim, petitioners must demonstrate that california's schedule b requirement is unconstitutional in all or at least many of its applications. the petitioner's evidence centered only on their own organization. they did not show that california's confidential collection of the same information that charities already provide to the irs chills associational interest in general or for a substantial number of charities in the state. at the same time, the state's upfront collection of schedule b's is substantially related to important oversight and law enforcement interests. schedule b's are used routinely by state charity regulators to evaluate complaints. when examined with other documents, schedule b helps investi

feinberg looks and listens.sly moving target, he takes hits at meeting after meeting, makes his pitch and moves on... if it's tuesday, it must be wherever. >> feinberg: where did i start yesterday? from new orleans, right? up to alabama, yeah. >> safer: we joined him at the crack of dawn, where he was calmly preparing for another day of personal abuse. >> feinberg: with all due respect, 5,000 people have got checks. that's not enough... >> 5,000 out of 20,000 claims sucks. that's not very good. >> it's been ten days now. can we take whoever programmed this, take him down in the swamp, drop him off for ten days, and let them wait on us to go pick them up to see how it feels to keep waiting? >> feinberg: i don't think you should keep waiting. i told you you wouldn't have to keep waiting. i can't speak... >> it's a contradiction of your words, sir. >> feinberg: i know. there... there may be. it won't be the first time. i'm trying. >> safer: feinberg acknowledges he is dealing with a weary and frustrated population

feinberg? ms. feinberg previously the fra : has not taken action on -- mr. mica: they have not taken action on any of these. ok, and then 2008 was also a recommendation. they did not take action on that, is that correct? ms. feinberg that is correct. :mr. mica: in fact, it's been very difficult. in fact since then, many freight rails have installed those devices. are you aware of that, ma'am? ms. feinberg: yes, sir. mr. mica: in fact, but it's been difficult. in fact, they had to go through lawsuits. i want this to be entered into the record. here's kansas city southern was attempting to put into cameras in the cab. they were sued mr. comstock and his group. not only will both unions fervently apose the lawsuit, they will ask the court to join them from going ahead with a plan. could we put that in the record, please? thoost cameras and history and nothing being done. let's talk about financing these and positive train control. you just recommended you're going to have fra financing available?

feinberg. i have a question for you. just make sure i'm clear it's my understanding that the fra, and this come from testimony, they will use all powers including enforcement fines and adoption. we know how they would assess adoption. we know how they would assess the fines. would they be assessed a daily? is there a policy that's been defined regarding that? ms. feinberg: the goal of our enforcement actions and any safety regulators is to bring about compliance. >> i understand the goal. do we have a policy? ms. feinberg: as we discussed earlier we are finalizing that now. most of the policy is public and has been public since 2010. there are various signs and penalty and most of it has been public since 2010. we are in response to the congress' request finalizing our strategy now. we want to be completely transparent about what the railroads and congress can expect. >> and might be daily and might be otherwise? ms. feinberg: that's correct. >> so a few days after you were here after the terrible mishap in philadelphia,

feinberg. billions of dollars in the cost. ms. feinberg: i would differ to amtrak and the actual cost. they have predicted it. how far they have to go to complete it. >> i am sorry, i did not hear the base question. >> you said that ptc is not implemented in all of the points? mr. boardman: it is installed but it is not activated. $100 million is where it is at the moment. >> thank you, my time has expired. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you to the witnesses today. i know there are still a lot of facts and many more questions we have to examine you for we get some real answers. there are some things i want to follow up on. on may 12, my understanding mr. peters, is the engineer who was operating was doing so under a new controversial work schedule that began on march 23 of 2015. that included shorter turnaround times on most runs that happened before march 23. i guess i am just curious as to whether the union or the workers had been consulted prior to the implementation of this new work sc

feinberg for being here. i applaud your diligence in the difficult task that was set before you reeling in excessive executive compensation is an important mission and is of great benefit to our economy and to the american taxpayer. i continue to be alarmed by the reported trends in executive compensation that exposed a disproportionate nature of corporate pay packages. according to the research paid to ceos is at an all-time high at over 400 times the average workers' pay. how has executive pay grown to these extreme amounts and what factors contributed to these trends? >> i'm not a historian in terms of the causes of the growth. i confronted under the statute and the regulations clear directives to rein in compensation while at the same time making sure these companies repay the taxpayer. others have written on the various reasons that the gap has grown between executive compensation and workers, and i've tried to take that into account in limiting executive comp and undermine mandate. >> you know, i have l

you're going to hear what one ceo thinks about ken feinberg's plan. the ceo of one of -- it's number one or number two biggest companies in the united states. we'll be back. >>> because of the government's involvement in the companies, i think you just have to think about it as an anomaly and then it's a question of government policy. i'm not a policymaker. i know these are exceptional cases and exceptional times. >> part of that was microsoft ceo's steve ballmer to matt lauer this morning talking about the seven companies being targeted by the feinberg plan. what if extraordinary times become the norm and the feinberg plan is extended to call companies? here is robert, partner at jones day and mike, senior partner and host of ring of fire which airs on air america. good to have both of you with us. you heard steve ballmer there. saying the government has a stake in the seven banks that are under specific discussion here. they're extraordinary, put them over there, but i don't think that we should be having a say on pay for everybody else. he wasn't t

feinberg to enforce the law. i don't expect you to break the law, i also don't want to fine anybody so we have to act. we can to it all day long we can play games and dance around and point fingers and show what happened five years ago, seven years ago ten years ago, but since 1969 according to the ntsb according to their own figures preventable accidents have killed 246 people. and have injured 4,263. and i don't know how much money has been lost because no one has put that number together. if it's a cap, a $200 million cap which by the way would have cost pl more if it wasn't for the cap, it's hard to time, but it seems to me just rough numbers it looks like the cap probably would have cost even with the cap would have been about $20 billion that these accidents would have cost. this is a doable action and it is an action that pays for itself as proof positive by metro link. help us work with you to get it done. by the way ms. kerwin -- mr. mathias, earlier you said you had 8500 poles agreed to but that doesn't

feinberg. i have a question for you. just make sure i'm clear it's my understanding that the fra and this come from testimony, they will use all powers including enforcement fines and adoption. we know how they would assess adoption. we know how they would assess the fines. would they be assessed a daily? is there a policy that's been defined regarding that? the the goal of our enforcement actions and any safety regulators is to bring about compliance. >> i understand the goal. do we have a policy? >> as we discussed earlier we are finalizing that now. most of the policy is public and has been public since 2010. there are various signs and penalty and most of it has been public since 2010. we are in response to the congress request finalizing our strategy now. we want to be completely transparent about what the railroads and congress can expect. >> and might be daily and might be otherwise? >> that's correct. >> so a few days after you were here after the terrible mishap in philadelphia, i asked you, joe the $1.3 billion

feinberg. he has experience in this arena, having disbursed funds as a result of the 9/11 incident. it is my understanding that he will be taking control of 36 bp offices and hundreds of employees. mr. feinberg is charged with administering the $20 billion gulf claims account and paying legitimate claims to affected parties. it is an admirable and difficult position, because we know that paying claims in this kind of situation is certainly an inexact science. we -- will downstream suppliers due to the tourism industry qualify for compensation? there are a lot of unanswered questions. we want to see that people are reimbursed who have legitimate claims. and we hope there will be some -- we know there'll be some filing claims that will not be legitimate. one other question that i think will have to be answered as we go along is the drilling moratorium imposed by the administration. it will have an impact on the economy and the terrorism as a result of this bill. there is going to have to be some

miss feinberg and mr. boardman, can you speak to the future of amtrak and passenger rail if congress continues to use patchwork approach to continued improvements? >> well, i would like to say mr. sires that my concern has been the reliability of the railroad. the reliability of what we do for our hardware on our system. the reliability of our use of tunnels. whether it's in new york or through the baltimore tunnels. that our reliable on the portal bridge that's ready to be rebuilt that doesn't always shut properly. so the funding for infrastructure on the northeast corridor is absolutely behind the curve. in the last reauthorization of our funding in the pria act, there was a commission established out of all the states, the federal government and amtrak, along the northeast corridor, and that's where the $21 billion backtjt came from of the necessity for us to rebuild corridor corridor. we also have a requirement because of the growth of traffic on this corridor. we're handling over 2,000 trains% a day o
