Let me first thank the gentleman from Arizona for the time. And I also need to, in particular, thank Chairman Chaffetz for introducing this, I think, very important piece of legislation. We have heard what the issue is. Look, for years now…

I understand how important this issue is for the gentleman from Arkansas and for his constituents and salute him for his efforts. As we all know, our farmers are some of the most patriotic Americans. I believe we should do everything we…
I want to first thank Chairman Rogers for his leadership on ensuring that the United States is able to do everything necessary to combat Zika, and do so immediately. South Florida is ground zero in the United States for this disease. So…
I thank the chairman. Madam Speaker, I, in essence, only want to make four brief points. Number one is that, I, too, have concerns with lots of parts of this bill. There are parts that I wish were different. I think all of us do. But there…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I think it is important to just kind of always try to lower the decibels as much as we can. This amendment, as both gentlemen have said, does not change current law. It doesn't change current HUD…
I want to again thank the gentleman for raising this important issue. I appreciate his dedication to ensuring that his constituents' air noise concerns are adequately addressed by the FAA. Again, I thank the gentleman, and I yield back the…
I am wary of considering an amendment on a rule and regulation that is currently pending before the Supreme Court. The sponsor of the amendment is a good man, but I would hope that we would wait for the Court to issue its ruling and then…
