Bill Shuster

I think it's critical that we get back to regular order, get back to going through this water process every Congress so that Congress maintains its role in overseeing the Corps work and improving your infrastructure.

This bill provides transformational reform of the U.S. aviation system, something that is absolutely necessary to modernize our air traffic control system.

To hell with it. Let's just do it ourselves and not sit around and be jerked around on this thing.

Imminent in Washington could mean a decade.

It seems to be slow-walking implementation, and for the life of me I can't understand that.

It is critical that we get water resources back on the congressional schedule of doing it every Congress.

I think the families deserve to hear what those solutions are, but more importantly, that those solutions are actually put into place.

I think this committee expects answers. I think the families are owed answers. I think the American public is looking to make sure that rail is safe across our entire Nation.

Yes, we do support putting a real price on carbon.

America always does the right thing after it has exhausted every other option.

We have got 6 months to act, and to everybody that knows Washington, pressure is a great thing for us to have here.

What we have to come up with is an operational model that works for the United States, not for other countries.

It has got to be safety, safety, safety.

But I would like you to take that message back to the White House, that let's do the leadership role of funding a transportation system, and let's let the public pay for it.

Let's play to win as a country again. Let's get back in the transportation business in a significant way.

Safety in our skies is simply paramount. That has to be first and foremost to us.

I really do believe there is a way forward for us, and not everybody is going to get everything they want.

We need to look at something different, not only from the process standpoint, but from the funding standpoint, a new way forward.

I think we have an opportunity here to do something different.

I don't want to sit here and watch our aviation industry go the way of the textiles and the auto industries.

We really got to move fast on these things. Because I have a great concern that we are going to lose our lead in the industry across the board, and all the aviation industry.

In my opinion, the process we have embraced with this WRRDA bill reflects what we have been set here to do: to legislate cooperatively, and collectively do what is right for the country.

By authorizing these 11 Chief's Reports, along with those already captured in H.R. 3080, combined with Section 902 changes for a limited number of ongoing projects, we will support what this country needs most right now: the creation and…

We need to do it in a way that is science-based, not some knee jerk reaction to protecting the environment.

Unilaterally broadening the scope of the Clean Water Act and the Federal Government's reach into our everyday lives will have adverse effects on the economy and jobs.
