We are going to spend every penny from that Highway Trust Fund, because the users paid it and they deserve that back.

The United States has the safest aviation system in the world. That can never be taken for granted.

The United States is a world leader in aviation. We are also the world leader in innovation, and one of the sectors that I want to see thrive is the use of unmanned aerial systems.

I believe that they fundamentally agree with me that the FAA is broken, and that--although it is a very, very safe system, the efficiency, the innovation, the modernization for decades has fallen behind.

We have to pass the law before she has to implement it.

If we are spending 25 to 28 times more in CapX and we are getting very little for it, that is a real problem.

Today is the time to act. Now is the time to act, which is why this is so important.

They have failed every single time.

The only person that can raise taxes is the United States Congress. So that is patently false.

I do not believe that privatizing the ATO is the answer.

If we make the system more efficient and drive down costs, that gives everybody more money to spend on taking care of those problems.

Part of the problem is us. Part of the problem is the overabundance of attorneys in this country that are sue-happy.

The airline industry needs to focus on getting its own house in order, instead of extending its reach to control our skies.

I think this is going to be the MOAB of bills, the mother of all bills.

Public-private partnerships are part of that solution. I think it is a good tool in the toolbox, but it is not the toolbox.

$1 trillion is not going to come from the Federal Government. It has got to come from a number of different sources.

We need a sustained, focused effort to really reverse the decline, and to make sure we have the infrastructure that we need to produce safe transportation, productivity, and also great jobs here in the U.S.

Our goal is the same level of success for this Congress, so get ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

The Federal Government also made a mistake in reallocating the money back to Amtrak because it crushed the competition.

You have to first demonstrate that you deploy those dollars efficiently to get things done.

I think this will put people with more qualifications and more experience around the board table at Metro.

One thing you can't legislate is good governance. But you can do things to make sure we have the best people possible sitting around the table.

I applaud Secretary Foxx, who is actually taking a step in this direction.

The men and women that serve in our military in whatever capacity, we certainly appreciate what they do for our Nation to keep us safe and hopefully we keep them out of harm's way.
