Mr. President, I want to explain my vote of the FAA extension. As I have said many times, I share House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Mica's frustration, and the frustration of Republican leadership in both the House…

The American people deserve more facts about how their taxpayer dollars were wasted and how you, as the nominees, will work to ensure it doesn't happen again.

We don't know yet what role, exact role, the White House played in rushing reviewers to approve a decision on a centerpiece--really the centerpiece--of President Obama's so-called stimulus program.

I agree it was a perfect storm, but I don't think we should be blaming China or the markets or a previous Administration.

States rights are key to the strength of our nation.
