Frank Lautenberg: “I think we would be fooling ourselves to say that everything out there is with zero risk.”

I have long been concerned with the understaffing of air traffic controllers at Newark Liberty and I am concerned the sequestration-imposed air traffic controller furloughs will disproportionately impact this airport.

We simply can't afford to ignore the lessons from past accidents and crashes.

I am deeply troubled with this budget. The Coast Guard does not have adequate funding to do everything we expect them to do.

If we expect the Coast Guard to perform all we ask them to do, we need to fund them properly.
