Look at what happened to our friends in Europe when they were dependent upon Russia for energy.

What we are seeing out of the Administration, it is consistent in that we are not approving projects that would actually improve our security.

Congressman Carl introduced legislation on amending the National Marine Sanctuary Act, and tries to protect the underwater forest in the Gulf of Mexico.

we are going to see a growth in global demand for oil and gas

the carbon intensity of production in the Gulf of Mexico is one-half, one-half, of the emissions of other production areas

We must examine how these policies will impact our national energy security, economic growth, and global competitiveness.

I think that safety is at risk, I think that American leadership and aviation is at risk.

When I look at the U.S. House's FAA reauthorization bill, I say, 'Gosh, actually, I think we got it right.'

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of moving this bill forward, especially where safety is concerned.

Thank you, Mr. Cohen, and I want to thank you for raising the passenger experience issue that I omitted.
