But before we do , I would like to ask unanimous consent of the subcommittee to place into the record documents that are both from the minority and the majority side ; and without objection , it 's so ordered . Users will now have more control over what they see on their customized Digg pages , according to Digg Founder and Chief Architect Kevin Rose , and in mid-July new tools will offer a visual overview of every story coming into the site as well . One year ago , I came before this committee to discuss the recall of Firestone tires , and at that time , you asked what we could do to assure the public that this type of safety calamity would not happen again . Well , no other manufacturer does that . We're giving this information to NHTSA , but our investigators tell us that one of those tires , one of the replacement tires , has a claims rate of 124 per million , way in excess of the 5 per million that you indicated to us was the benchmark for this recall . The choice between outsourcing or operating a captive facility for call center services , non-voice customer services and back office processing offers advantages for both approaches . We gave both tire manufacturers the same performance criteria and both sets of tires had the same recommended tire pressure . One is that when this information is given to you , as Mr. Stupak and I talked earlier , that a lot of this information - - you have to understand one of the assumptions that make up this information . " I can tell you this : Juries do not rule on the question of whether or not a patent is valid . Michigan that what we're trying to do here in a bipartisan way is to make this information more available to the consumer so that the consumer can make a decision , and that 's - - we have no intent , no agenda , other than trying to make the consumer feel a certain level of confidence that he or she understands this information . Many consumers , including Members of Congress , are confused by the various data coming from both Ford and Bridgestone / Firestone . Just to assist the Chair and the members of the committee , Mr. Tauzin is quoted in the press this morning as having said as follows : Representative Billy Tauzin , R ., LA , the committee chairman , said congressional investigators have analyzed the failure rates of replacement tires Ford is using , including using those made by Michelin , Continental , Goodyear , General , BFGoodrich , and Uniroyal , and found some failed more often than the Firestone Wilderness AT tires Ford recalled last month . And every day it seems there 's a different story , accusations being swapped and expert witnesses and statistics and so forth , charges being made . The Explorer , like all its peers and every vehicle made , has handling characteristics which are optimized for safety with four treaded tires . You've heard , I think , one of the members make the point that this massive recall has the potential of severely rocking the solvency and the future of the Firestone company itself . The chairman in his statement - - opening statement , stated that - - there were words to this effect , that some of the nonFirestone replacement tires have property and injury claims greater than those nonrecalled Wilderness AT tires . " The USB phone adapter ( DPH-50U ) lets users accept both regular telephone and Skype calls from the same phone for added flexibility . In order to ensure the greatest protection for the safety of those families , it is incumbent on us to obtain the most accurate and comprehensive information possible . It is terrible that the increased attention to this issue comes as a result of tragic accidents and highway fatalities . Our Tire Team worked closely with NHTSA every step of the way . While the police videos were rolling , so were those of passengers with video capabilities on cell phones .
