Cybersecurity is not just a technology issue; it is a national security issue.

The Trump Administration has proposed irresponsible cuts to virtually every aspect of the government that helps the average American.

The FAA Extension requires the FAA to establish a pilot program to test technologies to keep potentially wayward and hostile drones away from airports.

common sense dictates that we be mindful of the safety and security concerns associated with the integration of drones into our national airspace.

Senator Nelson, thank you for joining us at that initial press conference, which generated more than half a million impressions.

the FAA Extension now requires the FAA to convene industry stakeholders to develop standards for remotely identifying drone operators.

I want to talk about TrumpCare. In my State of Florida, there are nearly 2 million people who are covered through the Affordable Care Act, through healthcare.gov. The State of Florida leads the way with the highest ACA marketplace…

I am also especially grateful to Senator Nelson, not only for his invitation to speak at today's hearing.

I have also seen a recent breakthrough in technology. It happens to be a Florida company that has produced a bird radar which is in use by hundreds of airports around the world, including the Kennedy Space Center.

I worked with Chairman Thune to ensure that last year's FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act include several key provisions on these issues.

Drones for commercial use continue to hold great technological promise in many important areas--law enforcement, agriculture, disaster response, and perhaps even package delivery one day.

Let me ask any of you, there have been reports from Colombia and Mexico that drones are increasingly being used by drug traffickers to move illicit narcotics.
