Its my happy duty to introduce and moderate the second panel. Let me just begin by introducing myself briefly. Im bill galston. Delighted to be a small cog in in the Service Alliance machine that produced this meeting. I want to thank two people in particular. Belle sawhill for conceiving of this day and working tirelessly over a period of at least six months to bring it about. And also our president john allen for lending his vast experience and immense moral authority to our enterprise this morning. And i think its a sign that brookings is spiritually aligned with the National Service movement. Let me introduce the question this way. If National Service is the answer, whats the question . And we have heard and i think will hear three very different kinds of answers to that question. Its useful to keep them separate. The first has to do with service as an avenue of personal growth, the expansion and the deepening of character. The second has to do with actual good done for others, ser
With a compromise and it was called the private option. To make a long story short, it was about taking the Medicaid Expansion dollars that were available but using them to purchase private insurance on the Health Insurance exchange. This was a really innovative approach. It didnt mean that it passed easily. I think we had to take about six or seven votes mainly because extremes on both sides we were just hear about were pretty dug in on the issue. I will tell you even though we were able to pass the private option, there were members of both parties who lost elections as a result afterwards, just in 2014. People were primaried, people instrumental passing that policy lost their elections but ill tell you, im a democrat. I was for moving forward with the expansion from the beginning but part of, i think one. Biggest things we had to do on our side was keep our mouth shut and not put the other side in two difficult of a position as well. Again i see a lot of nodding heads, but i respect
My questions on the safety bill i introduced with the Ranking Member and congresswoman capps. The companion legislation pass td senate with bipartisan support as part of the senates highway bill, and is supported by the rental car industry. Many of them are here today. Consumer organizations and General Motors and honda and others. It would ensure that rental Car Companies fix recalled vehicles in their fleets before renting or selling them. So let me ask you, mr. Administrator, thank you for coming today, come to opponents of the legislation said rental Car Companies should be allowed to rent or sell unrepaired, defective, recalled cars, unless the manufacturer has specifically issued a, do not drive warning. Is there any federal standard for when a do not drive warning must be issued . Thank you for pointing that out because that do not drive issiis issued by the manufacturer, not nhtsa. Theyre determining whether or not the criteria would be to allow that to occur on a rental or use
Automotive space . What form of guidance are you currently giving . Have you laid that out, and what do you intend to do . Because we all know you cant be technology specific, if you will. Youre going to have to umbrella this. Speak for just a moment before we run out of time. Speak to that. I can just very quickly tell you, some of those are already clearly outlined. Things like the electronic data recorders that exist. There are privacy concerns there. They, for example, dont collect anything about the drivers. Those already have fairly clear its more communications issue. I think what were now talking about is a lot of new areas that we are just understanding. Because our cars are computers. Youve highlighted something important. Its going to require increased collaboration between our agenesis for us to be able to apply our expertise, so we make sure we protect people. When there are malicious attempts to go after the data, we have ways to keep people protected. I appreciate that.
