On the recordSeptember 21, 2001
we have just begun, I believe, to comprehend the extent of our national trauma. And while we continue to grieve, we cannot let a terrorist attack bankrupt such a critical component of our economy, so we must keep the planes in the air. But I want to remind my colleagues that we cannot stop here, and I appreciate the fact that people have expressed that tonight. We cannot stop here. What we need is a comprehensive package. We need to address airline security, and we need to address the growing employment crisis in our country. Please, Members, let us go to the next step and let us do it with the fervor and the passion that we have addressed this step as well.
