Thank you for calling this hearing, because, though our flight safety record is so outstanding, when we look at the total of aviation and its services, the situation with the Colgan flight is one that is--shook our bodies, our minds.
Lautenberg emphasizes the importance of addressing flight safety after the Colgan flight tragedy.

We simply can't afford to ignore the lessons from past accidents and crashes.
We also need to expand our research into climate change so we better understand the coming impacts, and how to mitigate them.
Some will say now isn't the time to make public investments. Some will say we can't afford it.
One of our top priorities will be completing the work of Wall Street Reform Act by providing Federal regulators the resources they need.
