The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“STB INFORMATION SECURITY IMPROVEMENT ACT” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Transportation was published in the Senate section on pages S6415 on Oct. 1, 2018.
The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.
