The proposal also sets the drone industry back at least a decade.

It seems neither in the letter nor the spirit of the law to move from the FAA's existing model...

will you withdraw the reprogramming request and work with Congress, work with labor, work with industry to develop a good-faith proposal that actually works for the aviation sector and the American taxpayer?

It is the responsibility of the Congress to conduct proper oversight of federal agencies...

I will say that again: the apparent intention to privatize portions of the FAA.

This privatization strategy threatens the FAA's independent oversight over the aviation industry.

In short, this proposal is terrible.

I was pleased to work with Admiral Schultz to get phase 1 of the Training Center Cape May recapitalization project listed as the Coast Guard's number-one shore infrastructure budget priority for this year.

Eighty percent--eighty percent--of the Coast Guard's total workforce is absorbed through the Training Center Cape May.

I urge you to withdraw the FAA's reprogramming request and instead develop a forward-looking strategy...

I am troubled by the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) request to the Congress to reorganize the FAA...

Let me say to you I understand your intentions, but you say that we are doing better today than we were. It seems to be we are doing worse today than we did yesterday.
