I yield myself 15 additional seconds. The fact is that only pork ticket subsidies were excluded. The fact is that the Democrats controlled the United States House and Senate for 4 years, letting FAA authorization expire in 2007, forcing 17 extensions, and even with the Presidency from 2009 until the beginning of this year were unable to pass FAA legislation. I yield 3 minutes to the chair of the Aviation Subcommittee, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Petri).
