Excerpt from Oversight on the Fastener Quality Act: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, July 28, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:35 a.m., in room Sr-253 of the Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. John D.Rockefeller IV (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Patrick H. Windham, professional staff member; and Louis C. Whitsett, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement Of Senator Rockefeller Senator Rockefeller. I want to apologize for the typical condition that I am late and that Conrad Bums is on time. [Laughter.] Senator Burns. May the record so show. Senator Rockefeller. Yes, the record is replete with that. One, I am incredibly grateful that there are no television lights. It is wonderful. We can actually talk. I want to welcome you to this oversight hearing on the Fastener Quality Act of 1990 and issues that might be associated with that. The fastener law responds to a very important issue of public safety, the need to ensure the reliability of the special bolts, screws, and other fasteners that are used in safety-related applications such as motor vehicles, aircraft, bridges, and buildings. Investigations during the late 1980's showed that all too often substandard and even counterfeit fasteners were sold to unsuspecting customers who then put them in these important applications. Several accidents were attributed to these faulty bolts. The 1990 act authored by Congressman John Dingell, a rather strong letter of which is being read just now, just floated to the ground. It probably ought to be rescued. It regulates both the manufacture and distribution of certain high strength bolts used in critical applications. It requires samples of newly manufactured high strength fasteners to be tested by laboratories accredited by the Commerce Departments National Institute of Standards and Technology, so as to ensure that these items indeed meet applicable industry standards. Distributors must keep fasteners from different production runs or lots. They must keep them separate so as to enable interested customers to know exactly from which lot a given bolt or screw did, in fact, come.
