You want to move aggressively. So I want to help you.

I simply wouldn't do that.

Well, Senator Johanns, thank you. And thanks for your very active participation on all of these hearings on the issue of aviation and air safety.

We just felt there ought to be a Federal regulation that prohibits it.

And is there a commuting issue with respect to this flight, do you think?

I believe it was a stick pusher.

We care first and foremost about consumers and their safety.

We intend to monitor very, very carefully what is happening with respect to your rulemaking.

But isn't that unbelievable to me? I mean, it's just unbelievable to me that, you know, a commercial license might give you the right to fly a Cessna 210 and use a pressurized aircraft and use a flashlight to see how much dry ice is on…

We want a good relationship with you, one in which we push and you deliver and America's skies are safer as a result.

It ought to require all of us to be urgent in our request to the FAA to make progress on dealing with these issues.

NextGen is, for me as well, a major priority. It enhances safety. There's no question about that.

I'm convinced that when all the dust settles on all of this that their activities, relentless activities, on behalf of the memories of their loved ones, will end up saving lives.

I think a whole series of things came together in that cockpit that was certainly troublesome to me as an observer after the fact.

We really are going to be pushy. And we're doing that because we think it's essential.

I think is good news. It has been a long and tortured trail for that case, beginning 13 years ago.

Your commitment to increasing funding for health care, economic and infrastructure development, crime and gang prevention and other Native priorities is very much welcomed and appreciated.

Promises made, promises broken.
