Political Quotes

“I thank again the chairman of the full committee, Mr. McCaul; the chairman of the subcommittee, Mr. Hudson; and the ranking member of the full committee, Mr. Thompson, for moving this legislation, and thank Mr. Thompson for introducing it. I once again urge my colleagues to support this legislation to codify the Aviation Security Advisory Committee so stakeholders have a permanent seat at the table when TSA develops policies that have a direct impact on our security and their operations. Simply what it does is guarantees that policies won't be implemented solely by people relying on theory, but ensures that the stakeholders are at the table to talk about the reality of the policies that they implement. With that, Mr. Speaker, I again urge my colleagues to support the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. McCAUL. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of this bipartisan bill. I want to thank Chairman Hudson, ranking member of the full committee, Mr. Thompson, and Ranking Member Richmond. I am proud to report to this House that this committee has passed several bills, all of which have passed unanimously out of our committee. I am not sure if there is any committee in Congress that can say that. I am very proud of that effort. I hope that we can continue in that spirit with more complex legislation that we face in the future. I know that with the ranking member and his spirit of cooperation we will be able to get it done.…”
