"I am proud to see the Obama Administration choose a California native and a University of California at Riverside graduate to fill this important position at the FAA."

"Well, I'm here to introduce Mr. Michael Huerta to be the Deputy Administrator of the FAA, so at that point I would do that."

"I am very proud to see the Obama Administration choose both of these fine people."

"Statement of Senator Boxer."
