I talked about the importance of reliable emergency communications for all of the diverse communities in my district.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thanks to Chairman Latta and Ranking Member Matsui for convening today's hearing.

I appreciate the opportunity to testify about priorities for the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that will support economic growth and airport service in my community, expand and support our aviation workforce, and ensure the safe integration of new airspace technologies.

Supporting American aviation innovation is critical to maintaining our global leadership position in this arena.

To improve the FAA processes for developing safety standards across various safety functions, I recommend including in FAA Reauthorization a requirement for the FAA to conduct a comprehensive review of their regulatory processes and report findings to appropriate committees of jurisdiction.

I appreciate your consideration of these items as the Committee continues to work under your steadfast leadership to pass an FAA Reauthorization in the upcoming months.

I think that is what we are hearing from colleagues on both sides of the aisle today, is a real effort to grapple with the challenges that we see for national security, and for the safety and protection of American citizens, especially our children and young adults.

I think it underscores some of the concerns that have been raised in this hearing. So I think it is clear we have work we need to continue to do here in the Congress to address data protection and privacy.

Most people using TikTok do not realize that TikTok is collecting data about their keystrokes or about their browsing history on other sites, and so much more.

Thank you, Chairman Latta. Thanks again to both you and Ranking Member Matsui for organizing today's hearings.

I think that is something that we have seen, is what happens when what you are usually relying on fails.
