On the recordSeptember 25, 2017
I thank Mr. Curbelo for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I just heard the ranking member get on the floor and call me stubborn. I am pretty committed to what we are doing here because this week will be the second year anniversary of this quote by the ranking member in debate on the floor on H.R. 3614. ``The FAA is the only agency in government worse at procurement than the Pentagon. Congress has tried to reform it; it didn't stick. We have got to try something different to get it more agile, to give us the 21st century equipment and software that we need.'' That is exactly what we are trying to do in the 21st Century AIRR Act. We have tried for the last 40 years to get it modernized. We spent somewhere around 40 to $50 billion, and we haven't been able to get it done. This is a true transformational reform.
