RE: CABINET LEVEL RESPONSES TO SCHOOLS IN CRISIS
On the PBS News Hour earlier tonight (4/20/11), Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood spoke about recent problems encountered among air traffic controllers. News Hour correspondent Gwen Ifill asked LaHood about some specific incidents, and then asked about the general safety of air travel. Probing a bit further, she asked about one potential cause to explain why some air traffic controllers have been falling asleep on the job.
GWEN IFILL: How widespread a problem is fatigue? That seems to have been a factor in so many of these
