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 undisputed leader in technology, research, testing, and validation.

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.

For two decades, as we know, Boeing has promoted unqualified managers who have made disastrous decisions like outsourcing America's supply chains.

This is a really difficult issue.

I want to write some bills. What should I do?
