We say as Americans that we are humane, and we are human, and we care about life, yet we buy so many products from a country that absolutely has no concern about that at all.

That is unacceptable. That is not the America I know. It is not the America I believe in, and we have to stop it, Mr. Secretary.

One Federal Decision cuts through redtape by requiring interagency cooperation, limited paperwork, and fixed permitting deadlines.

I look forward to working together on strengthening the readiness and responsiveness of the service.

This hearing is an excellent opportunity to publicly explore how we can improve the Federal Government to unlock the potential of advanced aviation.

This committee, the FAA, and the aviation stakeholders community are in conversation to determine how to best structure Federal organizations and policies.

Thank you to Chairman Larsen and Ranking Member Graves for holding today's hearing on the state of general aviation.

I am proud to have its presence in my district.

Within 45 days of you being confirmed as the Secretary of the Department, this administration has halted border wall construction that was already funded by Congress.

I hope our former House colleague, FMC Chairman Dan Maffei, can share with us what resources he and the other Commissioners believe the FMC needs to right-size its enforcement of ocean shipping regulations.

The Coast Guard needs to seize the day, especially while it has the Congressional support to do so.

I am thoroughly disappointed, I am thoroughly disgusted, I am thoroughly disturbed about your performance.
