I am pleased that we did, through the IIJA, make available more funds through AIP.

I think that is something that hasn't been fully explored by the FAA.

Proposals for a Water Resources Development Act of 2022: Members' Day Hearing

I want to thank Chairman DeFazio for his hard work on this issue, and for including preference enforcement in the Moving Forward Act.

The pendulum has swung too far. I hope we can course correct before it is too late.

My goal is to foster a healthy freight rail market that boosts the overall economy and reduces carbon emissions.

I've spent my career raising concerns about the greed on Wall Street and its detrimental impacts to Main Street.

The Surface Transportation Board is heavily focused on ensuring economic vitality of the railroads when it should be supporting a balanced national freight rail system that serves its customers well.

I have spent my career raising concerns about Wall Street and its attack on American industry and American workers.

We applaud the commitment of this Subcommittee and the FAA for their continued efforts to ensure the highest level of aviation safety.

Thank you for holding this hearing to discuss critical aviation safety concerns related to 5G telecommunications networks

And Canada and Czechoslovakia and many other nations that operate at a fraction of the power here in the United States who haven't seen fit to have to have exclusion zones because they are not worried about extraordinarily large high…

Well, the British aviation CAA found that, in fact, there is a viable interference threat to radio altimeters.

Ajit Pai just blew it all off because they were in a hurry to get it out there.

We changed the damn rules.

Tell that to the 346 families of the people who died on the MAX. That was supposed to be a worst case.

I am very concerned about the ongoing deployment and the ongoing protections that will be put in place.

As we have said, we understand what happened and we want to be certain it doesn't happen again, but we are in sort of a temporary hold here, and it is not totally clear to me, and I think others, what happens at the end of the 6-month…

We must not now, or ever, condemn the FAA for prioritizing safety.

However, the NTIA failed to enter the letter into the FCC's docket for consideration, and again, they were ignored.

In fact, numerous aviation stakeholders, including many we will hear from today, expressed concerns to the Trump-appointed, former FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, prior to and after the FCC voted to open up the C-band for wireless use all the way…
