Political Quotes

“In conclusion, I once again would like to salute the crew and the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 and express my personal condolences to all their family members. Since this tragedy on September 11, the United States Government has voted $5 billion to airlines in this country. We have voted $10 billion in loan guarantees to airlines in this country, and we have passed an extremely strong aviation security bill in this country. I believe all of those efforts are to improve not only the safety and security of American aviation but to get people back into the air, get people back flying. I also believe that in the security bill that we passed we spent a considerable amount of time talking about the training on terrorist attacks that crews should receive. So I think that since this horrendous terrorist attack on September 11 we in the House and the Senate and the executive branch of government have done a great, great deal to improve aviation security and safety and, also, as I said earlier, to get Americans back into the air.”
