I thank the gentleman for yielding and rise in support of his amendment. Again, this amendment does address the concerns of the people on Long Island. As the gentleman pointed out, this was put in place without public comment, without talking to the folks that live and have to live under these overflights, so I applaud him for his efforts and commitment to his constituents on this issue. Again, he has worked tirelessly for the last two Congresses on this issue and been a tremendously effective advocate. I thank the gentleman for his continued leadership, and I thank him for his amendment and encourage Members to support Mr. Zeldin's amendment.
