Hearing on Holocaust-MARC bill postponed
Del. Sandy Rosenberg reports that the House hearing on the bill he has proposed to require extensive disclosures about the French national railway's World War II activities while under Nazi control if one of its subsidiaries wants to bid for a MARC contract has been postponed from Wednesday until March 3.
The subsidiary, Keolis America, is considered a leading contender for a contract to operate the MARC Camden and Brunswick lines after CSX relinquishes that role. But proponents of the legislation contend its majority owner, the French railway SNCF, has failed to make amends for its role in transporting Jews to Nazi death camps during the German occupation.
With the schedule change, the House and Senate committees considering the bill will hold their hearings on the same day.







Comments
I hope the House will look as hard at dealing Japanese companies like Mitsubishi who were responsible for the deaths of Allied POW's sent to work in there mines and plants.
