We are, I think, all agree that customers benefit from transparent upfront pricing.

Well, and you are not even talking about the context of AI, and it is--that is going to be a separate hearing, but that is coming.

We would urge you to support S. 916 it is the Junk Fee Prevention Act.

Thank you, Ms. Morwitz. I appreciate you taking the time to be with us.

I want to thank my colleagues, both who were here and were online.

I am one of the biggest supporters you will ever find of public lands, and we do not want to ever compromise that.

I look forward to working with Senator Blackburn and make sure that this is a bipartisan effort.

I just urge my colleagues to think about, when you make cuts, which of those 50 children would you choose to cut benefits from?

I view this issue as one where we don't have to pick a side, boats versus whales.

NOAA's proposal would also threaten safe navigation of large vessels in narrow offshore channels.

Without well managed and productive oceans, I don't have a job.

I am committed to being an active partner in conservation management and have a vested interest in the health and future of the recreational fishing industry and the marine resources.

The issue is not should these whales be protected, but rather are NOAA's proposed changes rooted in science and in practical application.

Pilot boats must approach large moving ships at speeds sufficient to provide a stable platform for the transfer.

According to NOAA's own data, there has never been a right whale strike by a pilot boat.

Safety is of paramount importance to my operation.

Are there better alternatives than essentially shutting down ocean commercial activity along the entire East Coast to commerce to protect the species? I sure hope so.
