So, a gun is the common denominator in eight out of 10 homicides. How can we take that away? We cannot do that. We must continue to fight for commonsense gun law.

I think it's important for us to try and step in in that way.

If you get rid of those three agencies, there's no Federal mechanism or arm to actually prosecute violent crime at the Federal level.

I believe the Second Amendment is important, but I think protecting second-graders from being killed is important as well.

Both drones and advanced air mobility or AAM, have the potential to both change how we travel and how we transport goods and services.

I look forward to working with Chairman Graves, Acting Chairman Collins, our colleagues, our witnesses here today, and other stakeholders on the next FAA reauthorization bill.

I look forward to hearing from our esteemed panel of witnesses today.

I would just suggest--I took a flight to Atlanta recently, and I was between two people who I guess you could call husky.

They are dead if you don't do something about it.

You have got more experience than any of us here about ADA and the needs for ADA.

There is much more work to be done to continue to modernize our infrastructure and meet passengers' expectations.

There is absolutely no reason why consumers whose flights are canceled or significantly delayed should be forced to jump through hoops to claim their rightful cash refund.

I remain concerned that we will continue to see airline seats shrink to all passengers' detriment.

We established a consumer complaints hotline, created an Airline Passengers with Disabilities Bill of Rights.

That is a good bill.

We have got some people out.

It is very disappointing, as a person whose life has been spent in Government and thinking Government can make a difference.

The airlines study getting folks off the airplane within 90 seconds, which is the rule they are supposed to abide by.

I want to see a flight from Memphis to New Orleans.

To enhance the passenger experience, we must ensure air travel is accessible, safe and dignified for all passengers.

That is why I am working with Senators Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal on our Cash Refunds for Flight Cancellations Act to restore fairness and accountability to Americans' air travel experiences.

We must do more to improve the air travel experience of passengers with disabilities.

The 2018 FAA reauthorization law included more than 40 provisions to improve the airline passenger experience.

We need to help our airports have the moneys they need to have the type of airports we deserve in the 21st century.

Consumers whose flights are canceled or delayed should not be forced to jump through hoops to claim their rightful cash refund.
