I would like to hold you, Mr. Chairman, to your commitment to work to make this a bipartisan effort.

Only if we keep 'safety first' as our mantra can we get these initiatives to a place where they are ready to become law.

We all share the goal of promoting the safest possible transportation options.

This subcommittee has been reviewing automated vehicle technology for some time.

If this cut takes effect, I have to imagine that states will have no choice but to restrict eligibility for the CHIP program.

We want to tell them, the Federal Government, what they can and cannot do. So much for states' rights.

It is ridiculous to penalize states like mine.

If TrumpCare becomes law and Republicans therefore succeed decimating Medicaid, there is no way to go around it. Children will be much worse off.

I think the shared commitment, the shared partnership around underlining financing of the program is critical and needs to be retained.

Well, no states are carved out, and I think it is just a fact of math that when there is a Federal and state partnership to share all costs and the Federal Government is saying, I am pulling out of that partnership, and I am setting my…

The success, I think, is jeopardized with TrumpCare.

I think we need to do it immediately.

The Senate's own TrumpCare bill doubles down against kids.

The TrumpCare bill passed by the House would decimate coverage for 23 million people, 3 million of them children.

I believe deeply in the CHIP program. I want to see a full 5-year extension of current CHIP policy.

GOP efforts to repeal the ACA and jeopardize the Medicaid program will harm children significantly.

We can't ignore the devastating consequences that Republican efforts to cut Medicaid by $834 billion over the next 10 years will have on community health centers and millions of Americans.

I strongly believe in a swift reauthorization of this funding for community health centers.

3 million children would lose their health insurance, and that is simply not right.

I believe we should judge a Nation by how it treats its children.

To tear down Medicaid, which is supported by CHIP and community health centers, is misguided and hypocritical.

A little over a month ago, House Republicans voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act and gut the Medicaid program in order to give tax cuts to the rich and privileged few.

I am concerned that the FCC is nonetheless basing many of its current policy decisions on this flawed data

I had the opportunity to speak to small businesses in Asbury Park... about how a free and open internet can be a boost to the local economy and create jobs

I think the tax incentives as well as looking at ways in which localities can reduce barriers or in upgrading existing networks that are important for steps, but alone they are not sufficient
