Eddie Bernice Johnson: “The purpose of this hearing is not to dissect the Administration's myopic and harmful budget request for NIST.”

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on the health of the general aviation system and learning what we can do to help support the industry.

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

For too long we have failed to prioritize, or even acknowledge, the vast contributions that the Black community and other minority groups have made towards scientific discovery and innovation.

We need investments in the operation, staffing, and pay and benefits to keep and attract people to aviation jobs.
