There is a--unfortunately, a many-decades-long history of the industry failing to do exactly that.

Thank you for providing me the opportunity to submit testimony to your Committee.

Last year more than 42,000 people died in the U.S. as a result of auto accidents, and nearly 4.8 million were injured.

We have to preserve and expand this advantage by making sure that the United States, not countries like China, write the rules of the road for this technology.

USDA can do more to support the nation's seafood industry by complementing the programming of the National Marine Fisheries Service.

We are prepared to meet this challenge with a bold vision for safety and innovation that will save lives, boost domestic manufacturing, strengthen our industrial base, protect and create new jobs, and grow wages.

The auto industry claims that AVs have the potential to eliminate virtually all human-caused crashes, but then they oppose efforts to establish safety standards that would ensure that AVs perform safely.

If this century is to be another American century, the United States must harness innovation, strengthen the industrial base, and invest in the American worker.

We can't save lives if AVs does not operate safely or adhere to State and local laws.

Under President Trump, EPA is deleting Superfund sites from the National Priorities List at the fastest pace in more than a decade.

In 2019, the EPA did not have funding to begin work on 34 Superfund sites, a number more than 50 percent above the highest figures from the Obama administration.

I wanted to say that there are provisions in the CLEAN Future Act that aim to address these sites, and cleaning up these most vulnerable sites, and prevent new contamination.
