Russia and President Putin have and continue to commit war crimes.

I'm grateful that the legislation included $9 billion in direct economic assistance for Ukraine as well as additional funding for refugee support programs and global emergency food relief.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for holding this hearing. I want to thank the panel of distinguished witnesses.

I also want to thank the previous panel. The families of the victims who had the courage and selflessness...

I do not think it is politics when legislators, like ourselves, discuss ways to protect the people that we represent and the people of our country.

It doesn't seem like there is an existing policy within our public housing authorities that prioritizes the ability of handicapped individuals to live in comfort.

I think we all struggle with this in our districts, and I do particularly.

I believe we need policies that encourage more freight to move by rail because what we hear is happening is that Wall Street is pushing the railroads to only carry the most profitable freight leaving companies scrambling to move their…

I just want to disabuse anyone of that notion that they are making more than double that.

The need for a currency or an electronic token that is equivalent in functionality to cash.

President Biden has, through executive order, instituted a number of severe and crippling sanctions against Vladimir Putin and a number of individuals very close to him.

I want to thank both of our witnesses. Commissioner, thank you, and the national taxpayer advocate, Ms. Collins, thanks for your willingness to help the committee with this work.

We put $8 billion in the Build Back Better Act. I think $6 billion was for vehicles and $2 billion were for infrastructure.

It would be a huge benefit to a lot of these people all over the country, Louisiana to Massachusetts, if we could get clean on our postal fleet.

I would like to see that, you know, as a compromise invested in and acted upon by the United States Postal Service.

Is there a way we could phaseout those vehicles, replace them in the short term with combustion engine vehicles, as regrettable as that is?

The American people deserve the simple task that we accomplish as their congressional servants that we ask the right questions.

Mr. DeJoy's investment in a fleet that is only 20 percent EV is simply not enough.

Over 136,000 of those vehicles, about 63 percent of them, are so-called 'long-life vehicles' that have been on the road for an average of 29 years.

I would like to thank Chairwoman Maloney for her steadfast focus on this issue.

I do welcome today's hearing to examine how we can work with the Postal Service to facilitate its transition to a modern electric vehicle fleet.

We cannot and will not go along with that.

Thank you for hosting the Aviation Subcommittee hearing on March 17th, 2022, addressing community concerns surrounding aviation noise.

I hope the FAA will work cooperatively with Congress and local advocacy groups to continue proactively addressing community concerns regarding aviation noise.

The FAA has been one of the most unresponsive public agencies that I deal with and that my constituents deal with.
