"This is one of those moments. I give the Chairman credit; he has brought all of this to light."

"The Honorable Elijah E. Cummings, a Member of Congress from the State of Maryland, Opening Statement."

"Any death or injury is one too many. And, therefore, I look forward to learning today what more can be done to reduce these numbers."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I will be brief."
