to monitor cost savings from work rules

established under new agreements

between Amtrak and its labor unions;

that the Council submit an annual

report to Congress that includes an

assessment of Amtrak’s progress on the

resolution of productivity issues; and

that, after a specified period, the

Council has the authority to determine

whether Amtrak can meet certain

financial goals specified under the

Reform Act and, if it finds that Amtrak

cannot, to notify the President and the

Congress.

The ARAA prescribes that the Council

is to consist of eleven members,

including the Secretary of

Transportation and ten others

nominated by the President and the

leadership of the Congress. Members

serve a five-year term.
