I do believe that Boeing is a great American company, and that is part of why I am so frustrated that we are here today.

That the pilots didn't know about this is unacceptable.

how will you compensate the airlines and their employees who have lost so much due to your negligence?

I think he has taken many steps that have empowered Iran.

As I was back home in Dallas, Texas in light of the tornado and storm, I submit the following vote explanation. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 571, and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 572. ____________________

Wait times for veterans in North Texas are too long.

I led a bipartisan letter with my colleagues in North Texas to ask the VA to work with us in facilitating the acquisition of a donated hospital in Garland to help us meet the growing demand.

I don't want it to also take away from our initial mission at the VHA, providing and improving the care we are providing there.

I hope you understand that this Committee wants to work with you on it. We want this to be a success.

I think that we are going to have to continue to change and grow our VHA services to deal with our new community of veterans and especially here in Texas with us having the most women veterans, it is a big issue for us.

Texas is proud to be home to the most women veterans of any state, and yet wait times for women's health care services can be longer than wait times for other services.

Thank you for that commitment and for coming to north Texas.

As my colleagues have noted we are of course experiencing a crisis of military sexual assault with claims likely to increase on VBA and VHA going forward.

I have the honor of representing the Great State of Texas. We are home to the most women veterans of any state, and I am very proud of our 181,000 women veterans who have served us.

Going forward, we would like to see our subject matter experts, our 737 pilots in our safety and training program at the Allied Pilots Association invited to future certification proceedings on all future designs.

I want to first express my deepest condolences to the families of those lost in these two crashes.

I welcome the legislation introduced by my colleague Harley Rouda and my fellow Texan, John Cornyn, in the Senate.

I think it is critical that we not ignore Africa and that we counter Chinese and Russian influence in Africa.

Our motivation for being here is that we want to make sure that our airspace is the safest in the world.

I think that our role on this committee--and your role, obviously, as I know you agree--that the FAA is--our motivation for being here is that we want to make sure that our airspace is the safest in the world, that we continue to be the…

Mr. Elwell, can you please explain why MCAS was not in the initial manual (and Flight Standardization Board report)?

I represent Dallas, which is home to Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, two of our best airlines here in the country.

We still are the gold standard for safety, and that we will remain that.

I would echo everything that Ms. Wormuth said.
