three technologies, if they were mandated, could save some 10,000 lives.

It is important to highlight that 94 percent of these crashes are the result of human factors or, simply put, driver error.

This hearing will come to order.

I appreciate very much you bringing up the employment impact, which is certainly something for us all to think about as well.

But should the States even be involved in this area, or should it be left up to the Federal Government so that there is a nationwide standard and approach?

I join my colleagues to call for action to prevent the version of the overtime rule that the U.S. Department of Labor finalized this past May from going into effect on December 1. I want to commend Chairman Alexander, Senator Scott, and…

Consumers should be able to know whether the products that they are applying to their own skin or the skin of their children and their hair are safe.

Indeed, it is my understanding that 1,300 chemicals have been banned from personal care products in Europe and the United States, which is quite a difference as well.
