Thank you.
Thank you.   yeah yeah
What I was waiting for was
K
I'll call the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure to order.
Pursuant to Committee Rule 6F, House Rule 11, Clause 2HF, the Chairman may postpone further proceedings today on any question of approving any measure or matter or adopting an amendment in which a recorded vote of yeas and nays is ordered.
K
And as unanimous consent, the Chairman be authorized to declare recess at any time during today's meeting.
And without objection, that is so ordered.   All roster text has been distributed electronically and paper copies are also available here in the hearing room.
K
Today, the committee is considering two administrative items.  First, the approval of a revised subcommittee roster due to membership changes on the minority side.
And the second thing is the approval of revised leadership of the subcommittee on aviation due to changes on the minority side, which includes representative   Carson's appointment as ranking member of the subcommittee.
K
So I ask unanimous consent to consider these items in block, and without objection, that is so ordered.  I call up the subcommittee rosters, including the subcommittee leadership, for consideration.
Without objection, the rosters will be considered as read.  I recognize myself for a quick statement.  Following Representative Cohen's resignation from the committee, today we are approving Representative Carson as a new ranking member of the Subcommittee on Aviation.   Congressman Carson brings years of valuable experience to the Subcommittee on Aviation.
His tenure in Congress and prior work on national security issues is going to serve him very well in this important role.  I'd like to congratulate you on your selection as a Democrat leader on the Subcommittee.
Representative Carson, I do look forward to working with you to strengthen America's aviation   infrastructure, improve air travel safety, and ensure the reliability of our national airspace, and ensure that the United States continues to lead the way in technological innovation and regulatory readiness.
K
Additionally, pursuant to House Resolution 721, Representative Maxwell Frost was appointed to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
The revised subcommittee roster reflects the addition of Representative Frost to Florida's 10th District
K
to two subcommittees, which are Subcommittee on Highway and Transit and the Subcommittee on Railroad Pipelines and Hazardous Materials.
Representative, or Mr.
K
Frost, I do look forward to working with you on the busy agenda that we have ahead of that committee.
With that, I yield back.
Any other members wish to be recognized?
Rick.
Thank you, Chair.
K
I want to first congratulate Representative Carson on his election to the position of Ranking Member on the Aviation Subcommittee.
Representative Carson is no stranger to the challenges we face in our skies.
K
As a member of this subcommittee since 2013, he's established himself as a fierce advocate for a system that is safer, fairer, and accessible to everyone.
From fighting for fair labor standards to stronger pasture protections, Andre understands that our aviation system must work for everyone, including travelers with disabilities and the workforce that keeps us moving.
He takes the helm at a very critical moment as we move to fully implement the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.  I know Andre is the right leader to help guide this committee's work.
K
I look forward to working alongside him to advance new technologies and to expand sustainable infrastructure to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in aviation safety and innovation.
I next would like to welcome the newest member of the committee, Representative Maxwell Frost, to the Highway and Transit Subcommittee and the Roads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee.
A
Representative Frost understands that transportation is not just about roads and bridges.  It's about connecting people to jobs, education, and healthcare.  He's a vocal proponent of investing in our nation's passenger rail networks, advocating for more reliable and affordable options for working families.  I know he'll make an excellent addition to both subcommittees.
And as well, Representative Laura Gillen is joining the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee.  She'll serve as vice ranking member of the subcommittee.  And I want to say congratulations to her and as well to Representative Val Hoyle, who will be joining the Aviation Subcommittee.  She'll be a great asset to the subcommittee.  And congrats to Representative Hoyle.
And with that, thank you, Chair Graves.
