On the recordJanuary 23, 1995
It just seems to me there is nothing more important than the national security of the people who have to live in this country, and who will fly on these airplanes and make their living through going on airplanes, vacationing. I would just hate to see a situation where the flying public feels they are not going to be safe, they are not going to be secure, they are not going to be provided for in any kind of way to make sure when they board a plane, or when they go through an airport, they are not going to be able to come off that plane safely or even get on the airplane safely.
