I support creating great jobs and reducing unemployment across the United States, but I also believe that Boeing is not above the law.

But it doesn't have to be, doesn't it? It doesn't have to be.

the purpose of a National Labor Relations Board investigation is to determine what is in the public good

No. We investigate every single charge that's filed in every one of our regional offices.

And yet you have the gall to state that there is no sense of urgency, when you can look at the Dorsey Trailer case and see that, in fact, as Mr. Miscimarra pointed out, that it is almost on point with this one.

we have thousands of jobs that are at stake here.

we are involved in the race to the bottom right now.

The standard of proof necessary to prosecute, the standard to prosecute is what?

I do not believe that we should interfere with active prosecutions under the guise of oversight.

But you don't have to seek that remedy. You have autonomy. You don't have to seek that remedy.

we had 397,000 factories in this country at the beginning of the last decade. We only have 343,000 now.

If you do not, I believe you may, intentionally or not, permit the legal process to be tainted by political interference.

As Members of Congress, we should not set aside the law to give preferred treatment to any one company.

They should, shouldn't they?

Our solemn responsibility is to hold government accountable to taxpayers.

But I also know--and I want to address this to Mr. Williams--that there are issues out there that we must confront.

Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well spent.

You have to have the business plan on one side, and then you have to have the capital investment in order to implement that business plan.

Because where we are today as a country with the U.S. Postal Service is, after 230 years, it is still one of the most well-established, best infrastructures, going to 150 million homes a day.

So we need--as a Congress, we need to empower the Postmaster General to be able to make those decisions based on economic factors in order to reduce the size or the obligations of the Postal Service to stay in those.

Americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them.

I think service is important. I assume you are suggesting service to the customers need to be improved?

For example, in your testimony when you talk about how it is not the taxpayers, it is the customers, it is the rate payers that are more affected by this, I think you and I will agree that for years the U.S. Postal Service has been…

If that service also includes the closing of Post Offices or retail facilities or mail processing centers because of a lack of capacity, would you not agree that is something that ought to be done?

If we are going to assess it based on it being a business, then we have to look at the facilities that are out there that provide the service.
