so are other areas, the departments of transportation and commerce, amtrak and the surface transportation board. all of these agencies play critical roles in promoting public safety. what's most frustrating is that this all feels like deja vu. we've already seen this disturbing pattern play out with other safety nominees earlier in this congress. the nomination of ronald batory had been stalled in the senate for more than six months over demands by senate democrats concerning a parochial infrastructure project. le only after three dangerous accidents was he allowed to assume his full leadership duties. in another instance, senate democrats blocked nominees for the national transportation safety board. this opposition only subsided following a deadly missouri duck boat tragedy that claimed 17 cliefs. once the -- lives. once the board was sent out to investigate, the attention moved towards the blocked agencies, democrats finally relented to their confirmation. maybe are hurricane florence will have a similar effect on some of these other blocked nominees, but, mr. president, it shouldn't t
