We are looking... at our access on the platform side to create good additional access for our equipment within the trains.

When do you plan to bring all 387 stations into 100 percent compliance with ADA?

We want to keep them as good customers.

Thank you to both of you gentlemen for your active participation in the Cyber Solarium Commission.

I hope the Marines are appreciating that as well.

In December 2019, Amtrak charged two of my fellow Chicagoans $25,000 each to remove seats to accommodate their wheelchairs.

So per year, would it be fair to say that would be well north of $8 billion?

We believe that to be a floor, not a ceiling.

Please, just as soon as you can tell us your vision for the future of the Navy and the Marine Corps, in geopolitical terms, I think you will find a very receptive audience here.

We have to be mobile. We have to be expeditionary.

I want to talk today about infrastructure, and I start with the confession that I was lied to as a child. In fact, my whole generation was lied to. We were told time and again by nearly every futuristic TV show or movie that by now we…

I thought delivered an assessment that was tough but fair and, I think, reflects bipartisan frustration about the different force structure assessments.

It feels good to be up here, I don't mind saying, as opposed to down there.

I just think if, indeed, the status quo is still that they are only available to help if their forces are actively training, we need contingency plans for should something like this happen when they are not actively training.

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Mr. Speaker, last week, the House passed H.R. 535, the PFAS Action Act of 2019. This important legislation marks a critical step forward in addressing the public health crisis caused by so-called forever…

Actually, it takes a lot to get me to come down to these things, but I have been deeply troubled by some of the rhetoric I have been hearing about this. In fact, I was deeply troubled after yesterday when my colleagues, many of them, left…

This is not a serious effort. This is a political effort that will have the practical effect only of undermining our military deterrent in the Middle East, which for the first time in a long time is actually stronger. I think this does a…

Given the NDS priority on INDOPACOM and China, would a similar dedicated funding mechanism for INDOPACOM be a useful step going forward?

I think you made the technical point, it would depend on our current development and deployment timelines.

We are still waiting on a response. It is 20 years late.

I think the previous administration struggled to effectuate a pivot to the Pacific because its foreign policy got sucked into a black hole in Syria.

I guess less of a question, but more of whether you would be amenable to a followup conversation with me and my staff on how we can improve that communication.

There is a ton of bipartisan support for a more realistic, if not aggressive, posture with respect to Chinese influence.

Whenever we talk about China, I am always struck by what I perceive to be the level of bipartisan consensus on this issue.

Do you expect to see the Chinese Government militarize other ports and locations along the Belt and Road?
