Excerpt from Nomination of Linda J. Morgan to Be a Member of the Interstate Commerce Commission: Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress Second Session, February 24, 1994 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:15 a.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Ernest F. Hollings (chairman of the committee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: William Clybum, Jr., staff counsel, and Rebecca A. Kojm, professional staff member; and Emily J. Gallop, minority professional staff member. Opening Statement of Senator Hollings The Chairman. The committee will come to order with our apologies for running a little behind. But as our general counsel, you know that can happen. Ms. Morgan. Yes, sir. [Laughter.] The Commerce Committee is meeting today to consider the nomination of Linda J. Morgan to be a Commissioner on the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ICC is an independent agency composed of five Commissioners, who are responsible for the regulation of surface transportation issues. The term for which Ms. Morgan has been nominated will expire December 31, 1998. This committee has oversight over transportation regulation and policy, and understands the difficult issues the ICC often faces. The ICC must determine reasonable shipping rates in disputes between shippers and motor carriers; assist parties affected by railroad mergers, sales, construction, and abandonments; and balance free market competition in the transportation industry with the public need for quality service at reasonable prices. These tasks require a clear understanding of the surface transportation industry and regulatory policies. I therefore am delighted to consider the nomination of Linda, who comes before us with an impressive combination of qualifications and experience, for Commissioner on the ICC. Linda has served me and other members of this committee well for 15 years. She served for 8 years as counsel on the Surface Transportation Subcommittee, which often considers matters related to the ICC, and economic and safety matters in surface transportation.
