I share the concerns of many with requiring small recreational drones to be registered with the federal government.

While so far there is no evidence of ill intent in either case, these incidents bring up important concerns regarding the safety of recreational drones and the possibility for bad actors to repurpose them to cause harm to others.

Lives depend on the safety of cars and trucks on the road in the United States.

And certainly, deception cannot and will not be tolerated.

But the hearings over the last 2 years have certainly underlined the severity of problems that do exist, and there is no room for going slow when it comes to safety.

Certainly, lives depend on the safety of cars, safety of trucks, and on the roads themselves in the United States.

Don't be dismissive. Don't run from the fact that this has happened. You need to be aggressively compliant.

I would be aggressively compliant and aggressively trying to make it right for your customers, dealers, and suppliers because in the grand scheme of things I actually believe that will be less costly in terms of dollars, in terms of…
