We applaud Chairman Simpson for his legislation and support the passage of this bill. I yield back the balance of my time.

I am gravely concerned not only about our efforts to correct this ongoing problem, but also about the impact it may be having on the recruitment, retention, and confidence level of the pilots we ask to fly this aircraft.
