I want to thank the panelists for your patience. Thank you for being here and being with us and were looking forward to your testimony. Rather than go through the record well start. Thank you. So first of all, id like to thank the committee for the extraordinary work that you did with all of the stakeholders to get a longterm faa reauthorization bill passed.
