This subcommittee has added $18,500,000 to the U.S. Marshals to combat these gangs.

I want to encourage you very strongly to work with Zach Fardon, our U.S. attorney there, to make sure that the RICO prosecutions that we have underway, that we can prosecute gangs of national significance.

I am surprised that the Senate knows so little about the C919. This aircraft is being developed with $29 billion in Chinese subsidies for the R&D for the aircraft.

We want to make sure that just as the C919 hits the market in 2018, as we expect, we have an Export-Import Bank to finance sales of U.S. aircraft overseas.

So let's keep U.S. aviation going and make sure it is always made in the USA.

In the state of Illinois, we have about $175 million in exports, which are funded by Ex-Im Bank, with over 100 companies.

There should actually be two aircraft shown on this board. There is a Russian jet coming that is called the Superjet that will also compete in the 737 space.
