Let me run through a few points here to see if I can clarify a number of the remarks. The base text of the bill actually prevents the Department of the Interior from carrying out the steps that are required. Think about the concept of what…

The United States has the strongest aviation safety record in the world.

If we don't work to understand these factors, we are not doing everything we can to keep the flying public safe.

The reason we have such a safe system is that past Congresses and administrations of both parties have pushed partisanship aside and worked together to improve the safety of our system.

I am, once again, very, very sorry for your loss. Anything we do that loses sight that this is about people, it is about lives lost, it is about safety, is a distraction.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for calling today's hearing.

Woman, I just heard comments from folks saying that Congress needs to step in. The Transportation Committee should look at this and act, and perhaps propose reorganization legislation or studies, and other things. And I hate to bring this…

I appreciate the opportunity to bring up this amendment today. This amendment is pretty simple. In division E, section 106 has a provision that says that no funds in this act or any other act may be used to carry out any activities that…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In division E, strike section 106. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 436, the gentleman from…

there are challenges with achieving this energy future that many of us do envision.

Can you talk a little bit just about cost competitiveness and what that looks like in terms of taxpayer investment quickly, please?

I think as we think about how we are going to literally transform our energy system, there is going to be so much opportunity for wealth creation, ensuring that communities of all varieties have an opportunity at wealth creation and not…

I am sure you know, Congressman Rush has a bill on workforce diversity that we are fully supportive of.

the United States' record of being the Nation that has had the greatest reduction in emissions of any country in the world.

I think having some transparency around sort of where we are getting our candidates from.

the climate change and the temperature changes are very concerning.

There are challenges with achieving this energy future that many of us do envision, challenges associated with the regulatory structure.

It is exciting to look back at the United States' record of being the Nation that has had the greatest reduction in emissions of any country in the world.

There is zero reason why this should even be a remotely partisan issue.

There is effectively nothing we can do right now, based on our current understanding of science and technology.

Net zero means everybody, though, is my point; is that we can't just come to the United States and stop all emissions.

So the U.S. is taking these aggressive efforts to cut emissions while other countries are increasing emissions multiple times.
