I look forward to hearing from our witnesses about how vaccination efforts are progressing among their memberships...

Major investment in our infrastructure shows not just Americans that they should be able to travel safely

In 2001, terrorists needed to make it onto the planes and into the cockpit in order to execute the 9/11 attack. However, in 2021, we must also consider the possibility that a terrorist or hostile nation could hijack a flight by hacking it…

If hackers succeed in bringing down a plane or derailing a train, it's not an airline or railroad that would pay the steepest price.

I want to be crystal clear. When it comes to transportation cybersecurity, inaction is not an option.

CWS urges the Biden administration to process vulnerable Afghans to the United States, including Afghans who remain in Afghanistan and those in other host/third countries, for as long as it takes to get people to safety.

I was proud to join a bipartisan group of my colleagues in introducing the Welcome Act in September to provide evacuees admitted to the United States under humanitarian parole with the standard refugee benefits that are provided to others.

I am really sensitive to these issues of redundancies.

The question that's still needed to be answered is why weren't we proactively prepared?

We are strong supporters of law enforcement across this country, and we don't engage in hyperbole or politicization of the protection of our citizens through its law enforcement.

As we have seen in recent ransomware attacks, our adversaries consider no target off-limits.

This would help us with the morale issues.

Whipping Haitians is unconscionable, unacceptable, un-American.

Sending them to a country that has been just ravaged by earthquakes, ravaged by instability in its political and governmental realm, and dangerous with gangs.

I believe that I am motivated by that. That is American to me.

Another alarming trend we are seeing is the uptick in firearms--most of them loaded--that have been found in passengers' carry-on baggage.

These hardworking men and women have been on the front lines throughout the pandemic, and simply should not have to endure this kind of treatment.

As Chair of this subcommittee, I am particularly perturbed by the number of violent assaults against our TSOs in recent months.

There have got to be consequences, because if there are no consequences, there is no changed behavior.

We cannot have people who are trying to serve our country in this capacity or any to be harassed or discriminated against because they are a woman or a minority or a gay or whatever.

Has there been a public apology specifically to her on this issue?

I am concerned with when you find substantiated allegations, what are the consequences to the individuals that either perpetrated the harassment or the discrimination or allowed it and didn't do anything about it?

I have great respect for your mission, for your leadership, and you know where I stand as it relates to making sure that you have the fleet that you need.

Juneteenth is a day for me of commemoration, not of celebration, because it reminds us of something that was delayed in happening. It also reminds me of what we don't have today, and that is full access to justice, freedom, and equality…

Would you consider directing TSA and CISA to work collaboratively to issue required cybersecurity standards?
