May I inquire of the gentleman from Colorado how many additional speakers he has?

The importance of the agency's mission cannot be understated.

The life-saving nature of NHTSA's mission requires Congress and this Subcommittee in particular, to ensure absolute compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards and processes.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was established by Congress in 1970 to reduce deaths and injuries from motor vehicle accidents and to help make our nation's roadways safer.

Always, I commit to you that we will do whatever possible for the public service campaign to make sure this word gets out to consumers.

Essentially, the bill, as written, would eliminate the capital gains tax.

I want to help every American. And it is--we have made life so difficult for the average citizen with our Tax Code.

I do feel that the accumulated weight of desire for some type of fundamental tax reform will finally achieve that goal.

If you like your tax, you can keep your tax.

If 10 percent is good enough for God, it ought to be good enough for the IRS.

One of the things that is so critical that doctors get into the correct merit-based incentive payment schedule or the eligible alternative payment method, and so you are aware of the fact that you need people to get to where they need to…

Repeal of the Sustainable Growth Rate formula was one of the reasons that I ran for Congress.

This will remain my highest priority for the time that I remain in Congress.

I do believe it was in the best interest of continuing to be able to provide Medicare services.

I thank the witnesses for taking the time to inform us about the applications and future potential of digital currency and blockchain technology.

We should also be cognizant of future applications of the blockchain technology that may improve transparency in both the public and private sector.

I hope the panelists will discuss their work to address concerns about the viability of the blockchain moving forward.

I am interested to hear from our panel about what the development of blockchain technology means for the next 25 years of global commerce.

This technology has the potential to disrupt a whole host of industries from financial services to manufacturing supply chain management to health care records by infusing transparency and trust into traditionally closed systems.

I have no further speakers, so pending Mr. Hastings' conclusion, I will reserve the balance of my time.

Just in case anyone was wondering, we do have a vote on.

Thank you. And thanks for bringing the peripherals today.

Look, I want you all to know what you are up against with this congressional panel.

Good morning and welcome to another installment of our Disrupter Series hearings.

And I do want to welcome all of our witnesses here today and welcome everyone to another installment of our Disrupter Series hearings.
