On the recordOctober 30, 2003

This bill is about the safety of the American people and a failure to adopt this conference committee would be turning the back on the safety of the American people. This bill puts into statute the conference committee report, the reimbursements in law that those airports will receive. It removes us from last-minute supplemental appropriations with cries for needs of money from airports and the moving of the shell game. This conference committee report addresses the rural and smaller airports in this country.
