## Transcript

I know it's not a topic of interest today before this proceeding but it is a topic of interest to work that you've done in the past. And I'd like to know whether you have spoken about the Boeing 737 Max eight to anyone in the administration in the Department of Transportation. Or in the White House? Sir, I've not spoken to anyone regarding the 737 max. Have you been briefed at all on any of the problems relating to ti? No sir, I have not. Let me ask you Are you in favor of an investigation that would look into why these defects that cause crashes were not known earlier or were not acted upon earlier.

Senator I firmly believe we should let the regulators Investigate the incidents. And I would just say my heart goes out and my condolences to the families and the employees involved in the Lion Air incident and the Ethiopian airline incident.
