I think legislation is necessary. The rules of the road have to be the result of congressional action.

I do not see how you can change your business model unless there are specific rules of the road.

We have seen the apology tours before. You have refused to acknowledge even an ethical obligation to have reported this violation of the FTC consent decree.

Well, what happened here was in effect willful blindness. It was heedless and reckless, which in fact amounted to a violation of the FTC Consent Decree. Would you agree?

I want to show you the terms of service that Aleksandr Kogan provided to Facebook...

Thank you for being here today, Mr. Zuckerberg.

I think it would provoke in effect a shutting down of the --

Firing Rod Rosenstein or Robert Mueller will provoke a constitutional fire storm that would engulf this presidency and would bring it down.

I think we are gaining momentum for legislation that I've sponsored along with Senator Graham and Senator Tillis and Democratic colleagues to make sure that the President is prevented from firing Robert Mueller.

He certainly would have much more reason to do it now. This raid on his lawyer's office is like a nuclear strike with multiple war heads, the audacity of this rate, and the need for demonstrate that his lawyer not only has evidence of a…

If the President of the United States embarks on an illegal course of action there would be response on both sides of the aisle.

My colleagues should take heed of what these groups are saying because they see through the potentially derailing impact of these amendments. I close by again thanking my friend and partner, Senator Portman, as well as Senator McCaskill…

NHTSA encourages all manufacturers to work with consumers who are seeking alternate means of transportation while their vehicle is under recall.

I would hope that Ford is planning to update its inflator standards.

I just want to make sure that Ford--and all of the other automobile makers...provides these loaners as a matter of policy.

Will you commit to evolve your policy further and adopt Honda's policy?

We know, Mr. Schostek, that Honda provides loaner vehicles to anyone who has a defective air bag.

We urge you to delay consideration of the AV START Act (S. 1885) until the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has completed its investigations.

Will you agree with me, I would hope that you would, that the tragic incident in Arizona is a red flag for the Congress, as well as NHTSA, in moving too fast, or precipitously, or incautiously with autonomous driven vehicles?

It is their responsibility to meet the terms of the Coordinated Remedy Order and to see the vehicles safe for consumers again.

It is ultimately their responsibility to put a safe vehicle in consumers' hands.

And thank you very much for being here this morning and for your good work in your present Acting capacity in a position that is critically important to safety on our roads and elsewhere in our transportation system.

We need to be very careful about how we move forward with the AV START Act.
