On the recordNovember 1, 2001
I voted against because it did nothing for the laid-off aviation workers, and it did nothing to upgrade aviation security. I said at the time that we can give the airlines all the money they want and even more, but if we do not upgrade aviation security and show the American flying public that our skies are once again safe and secure, then the American aviation industry will continue to flounder and shrink, because the American public will not go back to flying until they believe that American aviation is as secure as possible. In the past 6 weeks, we in the House have done nothing to upgrade aviation security.
