mr. massey. >> david, pilpal speaks an individual, three comments, it would be nice if the group could explain the light blue and the dark blue, and the difference between the blue and the red and i just saw it quickly. >> and i think that there is an explanation, and a legend, but we could not see it very well. >> okay. >> and it would be good if they can ensure that there is good contrast, i know that there are problems with the video, but just in general it looks like the contrast could be better, on their site. and just in general, i recall in dealing with campaign finance data historically, the problem is that the data really is inconsistent all over the place and so there are typos and there are, wrong addresses, and zip code inconsistencies and one campaign will report a contributor as a lawyer, and the other will report it as an attorney and so when you try to aggregate the data you have to clean those things up and it is extremely time consuming and i just recall that in the past efforts and so if they have, put in time to try to clean that up, that is all to the good, but it really i

mr. massey for five minutes. >> mr. baker, from your testimony, it's my understanding that you are saying the faa's approval process could be making general approval -- general aviation less safe. can you explain how that is? what needs to change about the approval process? does it take too long to get technological advancements integrated into the industry? idea that you have an aircraft that was 40 years old is equivalent to having your car with an am radio. couldrtification process take years. , millions of dollars. the industry says it cost too much and takes too long, not willing to put those upgraded autos in aircraft. situational awareness is still the number one thing that leads to accidents. today, the ipad has added more situational awareness than almost anything else. if you were to install the equipment on an aircraft today, it would take millions in the industry and years. there should be an expedited process. the systems move very quickly and the faa has not moved in that process yet. particularly in the n

mr. massey for five minutes. >> turn one. mr. baker, from your written in this spoken test what is what interested you are saying that the faa's approval process could be making general aviation more risky or less safe. can you explain how that is? what needs to change about the approval process? is it taking too long to get technological improvements integrated into general aviation industry? >> exactly right. can you hear me now? is this working? the idea that you have an aircraft making four years old, call it, is equivalent to having your car with an am radio. certification process to put fm radio and it could take years, billions of dollars. the industry is saying it takes too long, cost to much, not willing to put those upgraded products in. situational awareness is still the number one issue that leads to accidents. today the ipad has added more value to situational awareness him as anything else. if you're trying to install the equipment on an aircraft today it would take millions of dollars to try to do that for the indu

mr. massey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. baker, from your written and spoken testimony, it's my understanding that you're saying that the faa's approval process could be making general aviation more risky or less safe, and can you explain how that is? what needs to change about the approval process? is it taking too long to get technological improvements integrated into general aviation industry? >> exactly right. can you hear me now? okay. the idea that you have an aircraft that was 40 years old, the equivalent of having you car with an am radio, and the certification for an fm radio could take years and millions of dollars. the industry says it costs to much, takes to lot of and not willing to put the updated progress in aircraft. situational awareness leads to accidents. today the ipad added commercial -- more value to situational awareness than anything else. if you tried to install that equipment on aircraft it would take millions of dollars and take years to get it done. so there should be an expedited process. we have

mr. massey: i rise in support of h.r. 4012. before i came to washington i spent six years studying science, math, and engineering at m.i.t. and we were taught there, and we learned very well that transparency and reproducibility are the basic tenets of science. in fact one of the favorite things i learned this comes from engineering where you apply science, it's without facts, all you have is an opinion. and that's what the other side needs to learn today. they are hiding behind this false narrative. unfortunately, that the e.p.a. will be unable to use certain data because they would have to release confidential or private information. this is patently untrue. cfpb, census bureau, which one of these organizations does not collect data that has sensitive and private information it? yet they still use the data. they can still disclose the data and it's transparent and we can look at it. this is a solvable problem. the national academy of sciences in 2005 said, nothing in the past suggests that increasing access to research data w
