Sending our fleet to exercises with Australia rather than to the area where we said they were going might undermine our credibility, correct?

We have no data in the Pilot Source Study on pilot working conditions, salaries, benefits, or scheduling.

Congress required co-pilots to have 1,500 hours of real-world flying experience.

Some want to loosen this requirement. They say that this is too demanding, making it hard to hire pilots.

I'm not sure testimony from pilots would elucidate the pilot compensation issue.

Captain Chesley Sullenberger--or 'Sully'--the hero known for the Miracle on the Hudson--has argued before this committee there is no shortcut to safety, no shortcut to experience--and this rule should be maintained.

we will vote today and tomorrow on the Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, in the midst of a looming constitutional crisis. Only in the past few weeks, the Director of the FBI has confirmed that his agency is investigating ties between…

His philosophy represents the height of activism, because it would allow courts to substitute their policy judgments for agency expertise. Abandoning the Chevron doctrine and the principles it represents invokes a desire to destroy a broad…

as we finished the vote just hours ago, I could not help but notice a number of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle high-fiving each other. That image stays with me as I stand here now. It saddens me. There is no cause for…

There is a need for real rules of the road, literally rules of the road, if we are ever to change the current model of how trucks are driven.

I have some severe apprehension about the idea of driverless trucks.

I rise today in a near empty Chamber. Indeed, there is no Republican colleague here today. Our Republican colleagues have yielded back all their time on this resolution, and the reason they have yielded back all their time is that they…

I am here on behalf of 55 million working Americans who lack access to retirement savings plans through their employers. These numbers underscore a very, very uncomfortable truth for many Americans--that there is a looming retirement…

I really applaud the President for bringing back manufacturing, but what I'm afraid is going to bite us all at the end of the day is the fact that we haven't educated the people to operate the machines in those factories.

That we will work for this cause, and if there is one truth about American democracy that has been reaffirmed for me in recent weeks, it is that people can make a difference.

the budget cuts that have been proposed by the President, 18 percent in HHS, including $5.8 billion in cuts to the NIH research budget.

Placing Jeffrey A. Rosen in charge of day-to-day operations at the Department of Transportation would be disastrous for American families.

Tax breaks are an insufficient way to rebuild roads, highways, and rail.
