Ted Cruz

So am I right that right now the air traffic control system is essentially using technologies designed in the 1950s?

As a consequence of being 80 years back, as we're having a hearing on technology in aerospace, as a consequence of that outdated technology, just about every commercial air flight is longer than it needs to be.

We're emitting massive amounts of pollution which could be solved if you had shorter and more direct flights that emitted more.

I want to thank Chair Maria Cantwell and Senator Ted Cruz for convening this hearing

ESG goals driven by politics should not be used to harm the American consumer.

Now's an exciting time to be involved in aviation.

I think we should protect everyone's right to vote. I agree with 81 percent of Americans that photo ID requirements protect the integrity of our elections and protect your right to vote, my right to vote, and even Federal Judges right's to…

Does it concern you when Federal Judges are having their votes stolen in New Mexico because there is not a photo ID requirement?

I will say the argument that minorities cannot get photo ID I think is condescending.

In 2017, Judge Hartz went to vote and he was barred from voting when the Albuquerque city clerk's record showed that somebody else had already voted under his name.

Every American wants election processes that they can trust and that are neutrally applied.

Voter ID, I believe should be a basic minimum requirement for a free and fair election.

It seems to me there's enormous upside and I've got to say when it comes to air traffic control modernization, you have the airlines that are enthusiastic about doing it.

We are grateful that the Committee has prioritized this issue during your work to reauthorize the FAA.
