Mr. Chairman, I thank Ranking Member Larsen for his comments. I thank Chairman Shuster for his work on this bill. There are many good provisions in this bill, one that has to do with disclosure. But it still does not give the flying public enough protection. That is why we need this amendment. This amendment has been endorsed by the Consumers Union, Travelers United, the Consumer Federation of America, and Flyers Rights. We expect when we buy a ticket on an airline that we will get that as quickly as possible. Glitches occur, but if it is something that is in the control of the airline, I think we should expect to be put on another airline to get to our destination as quickly as possible. Mr. Chair, I ask my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
