$6 billion over 10 if we--and again, ballpark, I am not going to hold you to it, but just a ballpark range.

I do think that we need to be thinking about a remedy there, because there needs to be a performance--if people aren't performing, they shouldn't be paid.

I want to thank Ranking Member Titus' patience as I went a little overboard.

Thank you, Mr. Doomes.

I am sure, my initial reaction when you said you needed money to save space. I am thinking that that seems a little bit backwards.

Whenever the Department comes in and they put additional steps that are hurdles in the process, you are potentially lengthening, dragging out the amount of time it takes to actually achieve that environmental objective.

As has been well documented, the United States continues to face substantial workforce shortages for pilots and aviation maintenance technicians in the immediate and long term.

Thank you, Chairmen Sam Graves (R-MO) and Garret Graves (R-LA) along with Ranking Members Larsen (D-WA), Cohen (D-TN), and members of this Committee for their leadership in passing a five-year reauthorization of the Federal Aviation…

Chairman Graves, Ranking Member Cohen, and members of the Subcommittee on Aviation: The Regional Airline Association (RAA) thanks the U.S. House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, Subcommittee on Aviation for holding the hearing…

We cannot rest on the laurels of having this FAA bill that was signed into law.

The FAA is approximately 3,000 controllers short right now.

I am really proud, working with my friend, Mr. Cohen, and others, in delivering the FAA reauthorization bill.

I am so excited about the future of your industry and just look forward to see what the future holds.

If our data is more accurate, we need to use the data with more specificity, and that is exactly what our bill does.

The data that my friend from California is trying to protect is data that has been proven, and I want to thank Dr. Howell for coming out and acknowledging this as data that has shown that it had projected over 30 percent over-fishing…

We were able to fish in recent years 250 days, yet doing it with improved data.

The last thing in the world I would ever do is push legislation or anything that would undermine or jeopardize the sustainability of fisheries.

It is unbelievable that we are even here having to debate this, once again, about whether it is appropriate for people who are citizens of foreign countries, people who are here illegally, people who can vote for Vladimir Putin would also…

Turning a ship as old and large as the Coast Guard takes strong leadership, time, and commitment.

Congress must do better. The Commandant has said that the Coast Guard needs to be a $20 billion service by 2030, and I believe that should be the minimum.

You are putting communities in the Gulf of Mexico at risk.

You are completely screwing this country's energy security in the future.

It is this Administration's policies, your lack of lease sales that are causing higher energy prices.

This is awful. You are completely screwing the next administration and the one after from this completely failed energy plan.

I agree that we need to continue striving, using technology, get better and better at safety and perfecting this.
