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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

President Trump's Space Policy Directive-2 directs the executive branch to 'encourage American leadership in space' and 'promote economic growth.'

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

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

Nothing has happened, technologically in 5 or 6 years, so that is understandable.

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

But the catch-22 is that if the Coast Guard did some of these things, they would have more people to do other things.

I just want to sing Michael's praises. No one has done what he has done yet, creating a blue tech consortium that someone can go to as a single point.

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

I think you have got some catching up to do.

You are the smallest force. You have the fewest number of people. You get the least amount of money every year.

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.

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.
