I want it to sort of stop. I want to turn a new page.

The main competition that we have is Russia and China.

I believe that we have, but is this an avenue the Coast Guard has explored to help the high costs that are located by these bases?

Given the higher costs along the coast, it is evident, to me at least, that an increased CONUS COLA is something that would greatly benefit Coasties and servicemembers stationed in these areas.

South Jersey is prepared to absorb the responsibility. They are ready to go.

Can we work together and get the Emerging Technology Accelerator in the fiscal 2026 FAA budget request? Can we do that?

I hope to work closely together over the coming years to realize the full potential of the Technical Center, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the United States of America.

The best way to create opportunity for those who don't have it is not by lowering standards.

I want to be unequivocal that under the technical center statute, overall management of this program legally falls under the center's jurisdiction.

The FAA codified the FAA Technical Center in statute. Statute means that the technical center, as you know, is now legally protected from predatory organizations or reorganizations, that it is locally controlled, and that it is the FAA's…

If we want to be number one in the world, which is my goal always for the United States of America, we need to change the way we are going about business.
