Any process to unground this aircraft, as far as I am concerned, will not be allowed to resemble the process that was allowed for these accidents to occur.

I made a commitment to you that the process that was used to certify this aircraft will not in any way be used to unground these aircraft.

Your all's strength and power has been absolutely amazing through this.

We are going to take every lesson learned, no matter how painful, no matter the change that it requires.

I want to express my condolences, on behalf of everyone here today, to the witnesses, families, and friends of those lost in the two Boeing 737 MAX accidents.

I was concerned, because you noted in your testimony, 'While investigations are ongoing, what we do know is that the FAA delegated primary oversight of the MAX to Boeing.'

I don't think that is accurate. And I am very anxious to hear from the FAA on actually that certification process.

It doesn't matter if we get to 99.9 percent improvements. If there is one life, if there is one injury, we need to keep striving to make sure that we get to perfection.

Madam Speaker, the last vote that we just saw on the House floor is beneath the dignity of the House. We have rules for a reason. Just because one party is in the majority, Madam Speaker, doesn't mean that the rules don't apply to them…

We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the things not because they're easy but because they're hard.

If we succeed in putting an astronaut on the Moon by the end of the decade, it will not be that astronaut who went. It will in fact be all of us in America.

The purpose of the public's limited dollars should be to spur new economic growth and provide investments in cutting-edge technology.

The Clean Air Act is a United States federal law that should be upheld by the federal government in the same regard as any other federal law that is intended to protect the public's health and safety.

I just want to ask unanimous consent to submit a report, a July 2019 report by EIA that demonstrates in 2019 that they are expecting emissions to have a net reduction of 2.2 percent, which I believe would be lower than the majority of…

I am looking forward to the opportunity today to talk a bit about opportunities before us.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and I appreciate you holding this hearing.
