Safety Director Hiring Faces Bureau Power Struggle
A revived policy debate and cautious tone slow the search for a highway safety director. Disputes center on whether the High way Safety Bureau should remain under the Federal Highway Administration, be reorganized or moved, and whether the next leader should be an administrator or a researcher. Industry sources favor an administrator while some lawmakers seek a unified safety approach under one roof. Federal officials acknowledge confusion and say several candidates were in consideration, with Dr. Robert Brenner viewed by some as the likely choice by default.
