Grassley Comments on Airline Whistle-Blowers


Sen. Chuck Grassley today made the following statement regarding the Clinton Administration's plan to grant airline personnel immunity for reporting operational errors to the Federal Aviation Administration.

"This is a good first step," Grassley said. "But to ensure public safety, Congress needs to enact full whistleblower protection for all airline employees."

Grassley is noted on Capitol Hill for promoting whistle-blower protection legislation and he has a provision in the current FAA Reauthorization Bill in conference between the Senate and House.
