I think it is important to remember that we are having this hearing today because it has been 47 days since the landfall of Hurricane Maria, and yet our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico are still enduring a humanitarian crisis.

Our Nation's public lands protect some of the natural and historic places that have shaped and defined who we are as a people and a country, and would not have been protected without support from the Federal Government.
I am strongly opposed to any attempts by the Administration or this Congress to open up this national wildlife refuge to drilling, which would permanently degrade this natural wonder.
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.
I think we're grateful for the NTSB, who's bringing some clarity, some objective clarity to just why this happened and what steps should be taken to prevent it from happening again.
