Sadly, the U.S. is woefully unprepared for this increased vessel traffic.

I know this is an Arctic hearing, but I want to thank Vice Admiral Gautier for your work and remind you of the importance of getting the Barbers Point facilities fully ready for the next generation of Coast Guard aircraft.

I very much appreciated serving with both of you, and you have both done a lot of good things for the country.

I want to thank my colleague Rep. Langevin in particular for appearing today to share his personal experience.

I know how committed he is to improving the lives of Americans with disabilities.

We have made great strides towards making air travel accessible to all Americans.

Congress should discuss how to modernize the law's language to meet current challenges facing passengers with disabilities.

It is still critical for Congress to hear from the people who are most impacted by these policies.

Congress addressed significant gaps and successfully worked towards ending disability-related discrimination.

this administration is not following the letter of the law.

the injection of nearly $4 trillion into the economy in only 17 months contributed to the highest inflation in four decades.

I look forward to discussing the very serious effects and consequences that are plaguing Americans.

This Administration is not following the letter of the law and is instead using rules and guidance materials to impose partisan policies throughout the process.

Today, we look back on the impact the Clean Water Act (CWA) has had on our nation's waters since the bill's passage 50 years ago.

we intend to exercise our robust investigative and legislative authority to not only forcefully reassert our Article I responsibilities

It's unfortunate that Federal agencies that are subject to cargo preference have blocked MARAD from even writing, much less implementing, the cargo preference enforcement regulations Congress mandated in 2009.

We cannot wait any longer while MARAD is bullied into a position of non-compliance with the law.

Thank you, Chair Carbajal, and thank you to our witness, Admiral Fagan, for being here today.

I look forward to hearing from the Commandant how she intends to close the long-term, persistent gap in making the required 'manpower requirements determinations' and keeping those determinations current.

The administration isn't as laser-focused as it needs to be on fundamental transportation policy.

Sixty-two hours a year, time lost just sitting in traffic. No one would have expected that that be the case.

Americans know that they can no longer buy the same amount of food, clothing, gasoline, and other necessities with their hard-earned dollars as they could just a year and a half ago.

So, when the administration came out and said that racial equity, climate change, environmental justice, and enhancing union opportunities were going to be the driving factors, I had strong concerns because those are things that you all…

It is astounding that inflation has increased 550 percent.

I worry about that, the precedent that it sets.
