I support the 21st Century AIRR Act, H.R. 2997. This is something that needs to get done. We need to solve our problems for America's airlines and our passengers who are traveling across the country. This is a short-term extension, but we…
We are looking for the rule on this. We are looking for the implementation on this.
Like most Members of Congress, I am very concerned about resolving the Carcieri decision in an equitable way for tribes.
Tribes need to be able to maintain their ability to have land taken into trust.
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of title IV, insert the following: SEC. 406. NEW MELONES RESERVOIR. The authority under section…
I would agree, and think that most tribes that come before this Committee also agree that much more needs to be done.
If GSA could utilize public-private partnerships like ground lease, leasebacks without needing to provide the total project cost upfront, would GSA be interested in pursuing such opportunities?

This committee will be requesting to take a look at and receive copies of what the guarantee was, or the cost analysis that was used prior to approving the tapered match.
the cost growth that we have seen now is not the result of construction costs going out of control.
But you understand my concern. If Mr. Richard is saying Prop 1A is for California high-speed rail, and you are using California high-speed rail money on a grant match for an upgrade to Caltrain, I want to make sure that we are not going to…
We normally in this subcommittee, with the help of Mr. Capuano, we are usually very, very quick and very, very efficient.
As well, I fly back to California every week, and I spend a lot of time sitting on runways, waiting to get slotted.
