at csx we believe that transparency is very important in building solid programs. it's a technology-based program that allows bon infusion programs and partnerships at several agencies and actually allow these agencies to see in a realtime format every train that's operating on csx transportation and to identify every commodity being transported within those trains. we think that's very important because often times states and federal agencies depend upon csx to translate information and you lose valuable time. the secure now program allows the state and federal homeland security centers to have this real-time access to all csx trains and commodities so if they get indication of a credible and confirmed threat they can see the rail commodities moving through their states on csx and take the appropriate action by contacting csx and move trains through at a faster pace. >> do we have this -- can you put this up on the screen, this chart? >> visually, i hope that you can get a grip, the gist of this. in but in 2008, we had just under 200 of these inspectors. in a five

csx and all of our major rail lines that come into the port of new orleans and some of our chemical plant, not to mention the truckers. i guess the disturbing part, it appears as though you take your jobs very, very seriously and you have recommendations from the boots on the ground so to speak, or the front line of defense and it appears as though the working relationship with tsa in terms of how to make things safer, is that there's some gap or some sense that they don't respond or take your suggestion seriously. so i guess my first question would be a very general question and you can submit further answers in writing, but i would be curious to know when you all make recommendations such as less focus on operational and not get stuck on regular laces that have no direction connection to safety. what kind of feedback do you get and do you have any suggestions for us? those regulations that are redundant and misguided in terms of not a very direct connection in safety, i'd like to know about those because at the end of the day, i think that new orleans is a very sensitive or delicate cit

our counterparts of others indicate this is not just an issue for csx. second and it is unfortunate that inspectors and in force that efforts routinely focus on the minor paperwork issues that elevate administrative errors to the level of serious infractions generating official letters of investigation that threatened the $10,000 fine. for example, the regulation mandates the chain of custody requirements carrying toxic chemicals. we've received warnings for the noncompliance with a chain of custody rule because the names of the employees were not spelled the same on the forms we used to be at times brought by several minutes and the names of the commodities were inserted in the wrong location in the form. administrative inconsistencies such as variations of spelling deutsch to the verbal exchange of names as alana by the law did not present a meaningful security breach. in fact, csx has been praised by inspectors by providing flawless positive handoff of these chemicals only to receive the violations for very minor administrative errors. we believe that
