Thank you for holding the hearing.

Consumers now expect that anything can be delivered to their doorstep in a few days, sometimes a few hours.

Each day on average, over 100 people are killed and nearly 7,500 more are injured in motor vehicle crashes.

Truck crashes deaths continue to rise; immediate action is needed.

We encourage you to take action preventing deaths and injuries as part of any legislative package advanced by your Committee.

We are trying to make the District of Columbia the 51st state.

I represent 700,000 residents. They pay the highest Federal taxes-this is a little-known fact-highest Federal taxes per capita in the United States.
