This is my warning to the Coast Guard: Please start saving yourselves from your own sinking ship.

It is not enough to build airplanes in the U.S.--U.S. aviation must build safe airplanes in the U.S.

The flying public deserve answers, and I am committed to using all the tools at my disposal to get them.

How the FAA and we as Congress respond to this event will have lasting repercussions for decades to come.

I look forward to hearing from you on what you are doing to address those challenges.

I look forward to hearing what the Coast Guard is doing to ensure its members... have the buildings, facilities, and IT support they need and deserve.

Your maintenance budget will only cover half of the planned cutter maintenance projects in 2024.

We meet today to review the fiscal year 2025 budget requests for the Federal maritime transportation programs.

Unfortunately, this growth comes with administrative challenges that severely impact the effectiveness of the program.

The President's fiscal year 2025 budget request for MARAD includes $859.7 million for the administration of programs.

I would like to work with you as more decisions are issued this year.

And please keep me informed as you work through the award process.

Thank you. And I would like to work with you as more decisions are issued this year.

While recovery efforts continue, it is important that we also maintain stable trade flows.

Thank you, sir. And please keep me informed as you work through the award process.

I am grateful for the opportunity to talk about an important subject. This is a simple word, faith. Faith is defined in the Scriptures as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, for by it the elders obtained a…

The United States has neglected a core element of its security and prosperity--its historic maritime strength.

It's kind of a crisis everywhere.
