We wouldn't have had an FAA reauthorization without your help, even though it was very difficult to pass that bill.

I guarantee you, whether I'm here or not, Congress will change the rules.

I defended the position of labor in that instance for resolution, where the brothers and sisters who were in the freight rails have consistently been able to resolve their issues working with the private sector.

Frankly, a bill that came out of the Senate would have been harmful to competition.
