Duncan Hunter

Congressman Hunter pled guilty to misuse of campaign funds after investigation turned up truly impressive, almost lurid capacity for spending campaign money that did not belong to him.

ADS-B Out is just a transmitter, right, that shoots to the--you have ground systems and you have a Global Positioning System.

I respectfully urge the Speaker to immediately schedule this important bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate. ____________________

I first want to thank Chairman Shuster for giving me the opportunity to serve for nearly 6 years as the chairman of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee, and I would like to thank him for yielding me time. {time} 1830…

This is modern politics and modern media mixed in with law enforcement that has a political agenda. That's a new Department of Justice.

Yes, it is just short of $5 billion a year.

We believe--we have got vast experience in tunneling both in Los Angeles--we are doing the mass transit.

Imagine living in a country where the Federal Government decides whether you are jailed or set free based on your politics. Well, don't imagine anymore. It is real and it is happening right here. My colleagues are right to introduce…

But they also cut another $700 million past that, and that was mostly going toward shoreside infrastructure?

How can you possibly stay on track with that kind of a cut?

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for his service. If you don't know, Scott Taylor enlisted in the Navy SEALs in 1997, got out, and then went back to Iraq in 2005. In Ramadi, as a Navy SEAL sniper, he was injured. And here he is now. I…

The U.S. currently has a competitive space launch industry, yet NASA payloads continue to fly on foreign launch vehicles.

Our entire way of life is dependent on space. And our, not enemies necessarily, but our competitors know that.

The 2013 National Space Transportation Policy calls for the use of U.S. rockets for U.S. government payloads, with some minor exceptions that perhaps should be revisited anyway.

I have a bill called the DRIVE-Safe Act. There is a companion bill in the Senate.

That is unacceptable. There is no reason to be testing something that the Navy has been using for 5 years.

I would like to differentiate, too, between super high-tech stuff that is in its infancy stages and is nascent--and a floating surfboard that can sense if there is oil in the water that has been around for 5 years or longer.

Is there a kind of symposium that the Coast Guard has every year?

But, again, you are talking about ScanEagle, which is extremely old technology with hopefully new sensors on it, but this is not groundbreaking, right?

We are not going to have a driverless ship. Every Navy ship will be captained.

The Coast Guard needs to use every tool out there.

I think you have got some catching up to do.

If there is no further questions, I thank all the witnesses for their testimony and the Members for their participation.
