we have got to make sure that we continue to take into consideration absolutely the complaints...

Thank you, Chair Larsen and Ranking Member Graves, and thank you to today's witnesses.

I think it is important that we look at data when we look at issues like this.

For the sake of the planet and future generations, it is critical that the Government continue to prioritize these technologies.

Congress must be forward-looking in dealing with the problems of today and also preparing for the problems of 2050.

While I am encouraged by the prospects of these technologies, I am also interested to hear how the FAA and manufacturers are looking at potential noise impacts for communities where these AAM aircraft will fly.

We support H.R. 6270, the Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act, sponsored by Chairman Larsen, Ranking Member Graves, and Representative Titus.

this piece of legislation is critical to give that local planner the resources necessary to understand how Advanced Air Mobility will benefit their local community

This Subcommittee must ensure community advocates and the general public continue to have a voice in the FAA's ongoing efforts to alleviate aviation noise.

the most important person may soon become the local city planner

I just--I can't emphasize to this committee and to the world enough the devastation of what Vladimir Putin has done and the disruption around the world.

The majority of complaints... 89 percent of the complaints were lodged by the same 10 folks.

So, the good news is that we are moving in the right direction: advances in aviation technology...

I've supported legislative efforts to require the FAA to elevate the importance of noise when designing flight paths.

Aviation noise is not merely a nuisance but substantially diminishes the quality of life of so many of my constituents.

The reason we have invested in this, we have spent more than a decade very, very focused on this...

Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act of 2022: Members' Day Hearing

I am eagerly awaiting the results of the study.

We need to produce more energy here in America, not buy it from our adversaries.

Unfortunately, it's clear that President Biden either doesn't understand this or is ignoring the challenges facing us in the Western Hemisphere.

align its rulemaking proceedings with the best practices of the federal government

It is my hope to hear from witnesses about all the things the STB is doing right and how Congress can further enhance its authorities to ensure that freight railroads are meeting their legal obligations.

This practice claims to make railroading more efficient by running fewer trains, but I have significant concerns that it reduces safety by cutting the number of workers and creating very long trains that can stretch for a mile or longer.

We shouldn't signal to our friends in South America that you can violate human rights, imprison American citizens, if you sell us your oil.
