I think the figure was used that 10 percent of the economy is really generated internally, and so that 90 percent is from the outside, from the United States and from all of this aid from our military efforts.

I believe--truly believe that the DADSS program would address this and save lives as well.

Thank you for holding this important hearing to advance our Nation's highway and highway safety programs.

S. 510 (ROADS SAFE Act of 2011) will help accelerate this effort and open the door to a future where alcohol-impaired driving fatalities are a rarity versus the chronic traffic safety problem it remains today.

But just as you summarized your testimony, you know, we need to be vigilant.

Would you agree it's important to maintain funding levels in the next surface transportation reauthorization to help States combat drunk driving?

We cannot let fall off.

Thanks to the leadership of people like Senator Udall, New Mexico has turned a corner.

Thank you, both of you, very much for your testimony.

Thank you for your continued leadership on drunk driving prevention, particularly on the advanced alcohol detection research program.

It is unacceptable to drop from a level of 605 to 490. I mean, the problem is still out there, and it needs to be tackled.

the ROADS SAFE Act that you have co-sponsored will support the development of passive in-vehicle alcohol detection systems is one such innovative strategy.
