On the recordDecember 18, 2025
any frivolous lawsuit is one frivolous lawsuit too many. It is just not appropriate when we have legitimate actions to improve our economy and to make sure that America moves forward. Chairman Westerman mentioned the 11 years that it took to build the Atlanta airport in my home State. Really, it took 18 months to actually break ground and build the airfield, but 9 rac{1}{2} ext{ years for permitting. That is just not acceptable. The Pentagon was built in just a little over a year. That could never happen today simply because of the permitting process. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
