This is serious. We are safety professionals. We are aviation's first responders. Fatigue exists.

Flight attendants do not understand how you can write such clear language and not get this in place.

Simply changing one character, 8 hours, to a two-character, 10 hours, to address flight attendant fatigue.

We are the only country in the world with aviation regulations that do not harmonize flight attendant and pilot rest. This is an issue of equality.

We appreciate that support.

I would like to give a special thanks to Ranking Member Sam Graves for his leadership on several of these provisions in the act.

We still have flight attendants who are out there reporting to us that they have forgotten how they traveled home.

I am telling you the experience from a Member of Congress on this subcommittee.

If you pick Democrats, you will get a good representative demographic of America.

And you need to have a representative sample. And you have got, you know, children, and whatever.

I introduced H.R. 3738, the Safer Streets Act, which would create a new grant program to help reduce violent crime in our communities.

A recent study by the Violence Policy Center cites that Tennessee has one of the highest rates of homicide of black victims in the Nation.

Look, we have got to pass Representative Kelly's bill on straw purchasers and gun trafficking and deal with illegal guns.

Let us be honest. There is just no question that if these horrific attacks were happening every single day, people dying, little kids dying on the floor of their home or sitting on their grandpa's lap or getting ready to go fishing, if…

I stand with the police and the sheriff's department and not with the NRA.

Ask that from any law enforcement officer who has ever had to look down the face of a barrel.

This is a civil action brought by the United States of America at the request of the Acting Commissioner, Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration ("GSA"), for the taking of an interest in property in Myrtle Beach, South…

Is it not good policy to say that public elected officials can't benefit from a Government lease? That is good public policy.

But GSA went to court. And in the complaint, the United States argued contracts between Members of Congress and the Federal Government are prohibited.
