Good morning. Today the committee convenes for a hearing on the federal Aviation Administrations oversight of aircraft certification. I welcome our witnesses, faa administer steve dixon and michael stumo, father of samyo who tragically died and thank them for participating. March 10th marched the oneyear anniversary of the crash of ethiopians flight 382. The aircraft involved in both accidents was the boeing 737 max. Our deepest sympathies continue to go out to the families of those loved ones who are among the 346 souls lost in these crashes. Since the Ethiopian Airlines crash, the committee has heard from many whistleblowers at the faa, at boeing and in the Aviation Industry. It is increasingly clear from our investigation that the faa has a number of Serious Problems to address. My investigation staff has interviewed dozens of witnesses, reviewed many thousands of documents and emails and been diligent in pursuit of these facts. No matter where they lead.

Exhibit that began at the New York Historical society and has traveled here, and it was a real pleasure to work on that, and i hope that you all get a chance to see it. Its an interesting exhibit. Today im going to talk a bit about my current research, which, as camille said, is about how the u. S. Army as an institution was trying to manage a crisis that its leaders perceived during the war in vietnam, a crisis around race. And as i imagine almost all of you know, the u. S.

Current research, which, as camille said, is how the u. S. Army as an institution was trying to manage a crisis that its leaders perceived during the war in vietnam, a crisis around race. As i imagined almost all of you know, the u. S. War in vietnam was the first major conflict that the United States thoughts from the beginning was a a racially integrated armed force. Through much of the war, the process was treated as a great success. In combat, it almost without exception was. But by the end of the 1960s, army leaders were talking about the war within the war and trying to figure out how to manage a racial crisis that they saw as starting to tear the army apart. My research right now is trying to think about how this massive institution tried to manage a racial crisis.
