Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I consider National Aeronautics and Space Administration to be a critical national asset.”

He is among the most influential Speakers in the history of the House of Representatives.

We want people who are intellectually curious, I think, to get those people and get them into the field.

Thank you, Chairman Larsen and Ranking Member Graves, for holding today's hearing on the state of general aviation.

Written statement by Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, Chairwoman, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, U.S. House of Representatives.
