If you have to extend the program in terms of the payoff, does that mean it takes care of itself and that United Airlines money put into that plan takes care of that, not the other airlines? The other airlines don't pay for it in any way?

first, I bring regards from my wife Nancy to both you and Dot. She asked me today--it was written on my calendar--if I would say that for her, and I do. I do not think all Senators know that 30 years ago, a class of new Senators numbering…

I think the people in the West understand we are not being dealt with fairly. The Western States have this large accumulation of debris and forests are burning down. Our amendment would permit some help to those States where we see these…

If you think through the Craig-Domenici amendment, which was going to permit us to have a vote in reference to the thinning of forest accumulations in certain parts of the West to avoid fire, here is the logic: We won't let you vote. But…
