Bill Shuster: “We do have serious transportation problems in this country. Funding is a huge issue.”

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

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

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.

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.
