I believe everyone at the FAA and at Boeing understand that to do anything less than that is absolutely unacceptable.

We owe it to all those who tragically lost their lives to get this right.

I believe that the Acting Administrator of the FAA... will return the 737 MAX to service... only when it determines, based on the facts and technical data, that it is safe to do so.

I am, once again, very, very sorry for your loss. Anything we do that loses sight that this is about people, it is about lives lost, it is about safety, is a distraction.

We have to avoid politicizing our aviation system.

That unprecedented safety record is due to the safety culture of the aviation industry.

As a farmer and Member whose district is bounded by both the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, I understand the importance of shipping commodities by water in the United States.

I believe it is critically important that we avoid focusing pilot training on the old MCAS system and what occurred in the two MAX accidents.

Moving cargo via Short Sea Shipping can alleviate congestion in other modes.

I think it is vitally important that we allow for the various investigations and reviews to run their full course before we take any legislative action.

The 116th Congress has a unique opportunity to lay the foundation for a modern American infrastructure system.

The Drive Safe Act will not only provide relief from the severe driver shortage the coatings industry is facing, but it will also effectuate safer roads and highways.

The trucking industry is imperative to America's economic stability and growth.

Enacting a long-term surface transportation reauthorization bill is a top priority of mine.

The trucking industry is important to our Nation.

Ensuring federal buildings are efficient and resilient can help the taxpayer realize savings.

The Coast Guard, working through SOUTHCOM, leads the U.S. effort to remove drugs from the Transit Zone between the United States and South America.

Unfortunately, the Coast Guard and its SOUTHCOM partners act on only a small percentage of known drug movements.

Seizing drugs in the Transit Zone--in their purest form and closest to the source--is the most cost effective and efficient way to use U.S. law enforcement assets.

We have contractors in Louisiana that have not been paid for work in USVI because of this whole approval process and cashflow issues.

I hope this is given full consideration as FEMA moves forward with the recovery efforts.

I think that study after study indicate otherwise, that if you make principled investments in resiliency, that you end up saving money.

Helping communities build in mitigation upfront and streamlining the recovery process and reducing the bureaucracy is going to save lives and it is going to reduce costs.

We are not going to accept that deal.
