At Level 3, the driver--the car is doing the driving. The car is doing the monitoring, but the driver is the fallback.

We've heard concern about the period before cars are fully autonomous, when there's still a driver...

We are a nation of immigrants, and any efforts to put up roadblocks to immigration will also put up roadblocks to our efforts to be ahead on the technology curve.

We need these vehicles to be safe not just when all cars on the road are autonomous, but also during the decades of transition time.

I'm hopeful that the subcommittee will use its mandate to watch out for the little guy.

I second and reiterate what my colleague from Michigan (Mr. Upton) just said about Gary Andres. I actually remember, when I was first elected to Congress in 1988 and when the first President Bush was President, being outside of the…

Unfortunately, the bills before us today do not share these priorities.

Now that the time has come for them to actually show the public this better way they are in complete disarray.

Republicans have been rooting for the demise of the Affordable Care Act for 7 years, actively trying to sabotage the law.

There is no reference in this half-baked bill we would assume because it doesn't put it back in that the essential benefit package is impacted.

It's clear today, that the Republicans only game plan right now is to sabotage health coverage for tens of millions of Americans.

The bills we are discussing today are supposedly the first pieces of the Republicans' elusive plan.

When the GOP talk about replacement, what they really want is competition downward, skeletal, skimpy plans

My concern about the Walden draft is it would not limit in any way what insurers can charge for insurance.

When you start talking about standards and repealing this bill, anti-discriminatory practices, essential benefits, this isn't just the people in the marketplace.

I don't understand how you are putting up that chart and acting as if what we are talking about here today is just the people in the marketplace.

Republican policies to cap or turn the program into a block grant would result in the rug being pulled out from under millions of children, elderly, individuals with disabilities and low-income working adults.

Don't suggest to me that somehow this is going to collapse because of the bill, because of the ACA.

The reason that the ACA is going to have problems here is because you and the President are purposely, in my opinion, making it collapse.

No one has a problem with making improvements to the ACA, but you are not seeking to make improvements.

Since 1965, the Medicaid program has been an invaluable resource to poor families, pregnant women, children, seniors, and now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, low-income working adults.

It's inexcusable, in my opinion, that there no longer appears to be room at the top level of the National Security Council for the secretary of energy.

I strongly urge the president to reconsider his decision to sideline DOE from the national security dialog.

Essentially, President Trump has chosen his top political security advisor over the nation's top energy security advisor and that's a recipe for disaster.

There are classified aspects of this issue that can't be discussed in a public hearing like this and members deserve the opportunity to be briefed on this high-level information.
