Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important meeting.

Do you see this creating--I think you have alluded to this--creating a sort of a whole new government free-for-all with added complexities and burdens that go along with that?

The overall goal of Pillar Two is to ensure that all companies are paying a minimum rate of 15 percent everywhere they operate.

Mr. Plowgian, just to follow up on my two letters, and then what Ms. Tenney just responded to, are the JCT assumptions based on information, work product that you have given them to do an analysis on their assumptions of revenue loss or…

It makes no sense to me that non-refundable tax credits are treated worse than refundable tax credits in the OECD Pillar Two rules.

Mr. HERN. So then it is a yes, you have given it to JCT then.

if it is a bad policy, it is a bad policy next year, it is a bad policy two years later, it is just a bad policy.

--businesses as people who apparently abuse their employees and the employees continue to come to work. That is the irony of this. They have no idea what they are talking about. The reality is there are other job openings for everybody to…

I have twice introduced the standalone legislation the Valley-Wide Noise Relief Act together with Congressmember Adam Schiff.

We must restore local community control to the airports.

That is why I am calling on the committee to triple the funding for these reliever airports in urban congested areas to 2%.

We have seen how the pilot shortage has created havoc in the commercial air industry.

The FAA must hire more air traffic controllers to deconflict airspace and safeguard our skies and the ground below.

The aviation community is frustrated that the FAA claims they oversee safety and regulatory standards across the entire US, when in reality there is a complete disconnect between the FAA office in Washington and individuals FSDO's.

I supported Congresswoman Meng's bill, the Decrease Noise Levels Act, and I would invite you to include that in your FAA reauthorization.

Our ports are the backbone to our economy. Any way to grow our shipping capacity and ensure our supply chain is strong is a smart and important investment in our economy.

The FAA should be required to conduct an Environmental Assessment for all new procedures.

It is time we get to the root of the issue and demand the FAA to finally take control and create consistency within their FSDOs.

Everyone deserves the opportunity of a good night's sleep and thus communities deserve the opportunity to establish enforceable nighttime curfews at local airports.
