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

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

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

We don't need to have another crisis like we had with the Boeing airplane.

We appreciate that support.

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

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.

The FAA Reauthorization Act includes a comprehensive workforce development title, including my provision to create a new task force to encourage high school students to enroll in aviation manufacturing, maintenance and engineering…

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

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

This was a top priority for AOPA.

The reason, in our opinion, is there are special interests, the ones that have been fighting us all along to do what is right, are out there right now fighting again.
