A report done by the Minority Staff on this Committee... shows that there are still 1.3 million vehicles out there with those defective Takata air bags which are nothing more than ticking time bombs.

You know, right now, NASA is paying for the transportation cost to and from the Station on commercial cargo and soon to be American astronauts to go to and from.

It is rather for Congress to make that determination.

You're talking about commercial companies suddenly taking such a large bite of the financial pie. It's possible they might choke on it, isn't it?

This has been an area that has been lacking for NHTSA.

The addition of this safety shield could have helped saved the lives of many, including Lois Durso's daughter Roya.

I hope you agree with that it is critically important to Florida that Amtrak continues to be a strong and safe agency.

You have my absolute commitment to continue to press each and every one of the manufacturers until each and every one of these dangerous air bags are replaced.

I will ensure that it conducts a thorough examination of all the matters surrounding the collapse.

Obviously NHTSA needs to do more to increase highway safety, including truck safety.

Just in the state of Florida, three people are dead, 83 people are injured, as a result of these defective Takata air bags.

Recall completion rates have lagged, and the death and injury toll continues to rise--particularly in my home state of Florida.
