The subcommittee will come to order.
Today, we welcome testimony from the Honorable Billy Nolen, Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. Administrator Nolen, I understand that you will be leaving the FAA this summer, after serving both as FAA's chief safety officer and as the head of the agency during a critical and dynamic post-pandemic period.
We've seen air travel come roaring back to life, reaching pre-pandemic traffic far more quickly than anyone expected.
Good afternoon.
The Subcommittee will come to order. Without objection, the Chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time.
Welcome to this afternoon's hearing. I will begin by recognizing myself for an opening statement. I'd like to welcome our witnesses today:
Thank you, Chairman Cole and Ranking Member McGovern, for allowing me to testify on the Limit, Save, Grow Act.
I want to start by thanking Speaker McCarthy, Leader Scalise, Ways and Means Chairman Smith, and Budget Chairman Arrington for their hard work on this bill.
I hope the President will come to the table and work with us to ensure our nation does not default on our debt.
I want to highlight one very straightforward idea included in this package: to rescind funds that are not needed at this time and redirect them to other priorities.
