Bill Johnson

It's Congress that appropriates the money.

I think it's interesting, here we are talking about the lack of personnel and yet we're looking at over a hundred billion dollars of out-of-cycle funding that has gone to the EPA.

I don't believe EPA has statutory authority to regulate methane as proposed.

I'm concerned about the 19 percent increase for the EPA requested in the President's budget.

Will you agree to not finalizing any rule that increases consumer prices or reduces energy production?

I am concerned that at the national level, striking a balance and protecting the health of the environment with the safety, security, and economic freedom of the American people is taking a backseat at the EPA.

The statutory authority of your Agency, Administrator Regan, comes from the laws Congress passes.

The EPA can be a force for good. I've seen it firsthand in my community.

In our State of Georgia, we are doing our part. We are in the top 10 now in solar energy.

I believe in climate change. I believe it is real. I do believe it is cyclical.

Achieving President Biden's renewable energy goals would ignore the concerns posed by many of my constituents and others across the country.

Democrats and the Biden administration don't want to examine the true cost of these policy choices to the environment, human rights, and national security in the United States and around the world.

I have nothing against electric vehicles. I want to make that clear. But Americans deserve the right and the ability to choose an affordable car that meets their needs rather than being forced to pay more because of a Government mandate.

Since day one, President Biden has put Americans at risk by pushing a whole-of-government climate agenda that increases energy costs, undermines consumer choice, and strengthens America's adversaries, especially China and Russia.

I take Congress' oversight role very seriously.

Those who aren't can get to affordable marketplace coverage.

We really have to break down the barriers to deployment that are keeping folks like those I represent in rural Appalachia on the wrong side of the digital divide.

I'm really proud to once again this session be sponsoring the Wireless Broadband Competition and Efficient Deployment Act that would remove the requirement for environmental and historic preservation reviews in order to add or upgrade…

I respectfully urge you to include the text of H.R. 2558--it is really very simple--in the 2023 FAA reauthorization bill.

It is my hope to work with you to ensure that this year's FAA reauthorization is designed to meet the maintenance and infrastructure funding needs of our Nation's aviation sector, especially the military sector.

I strongly believe this essential military usage that doesn't exist at most commercial airports should enable the Youngstown-Warren Airport and any other airport supporting an air reserve station to receive the funding that is so very…

H.R. 2558 would be greatly beneficial to airports that provide a critical service to our Nation by supporting a military or reserve station.

I bring to your attention a concern with the requirements for primary airport status, which is currently defined solely by the number of commercial passenger enplanements.

While it contains just one small provision, H.R. 2558 would be greatly beneficial to airports that provide a critical service to our Nation by supporting a military or reserve station in addition to serving commercial cargo and general…

Thank you for the opportunity to testify on my top priority for the 2023 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization bill.
