“we have heard a plea for help from our airlines, and provided an immediate response to ensure that a key component of our economy, the airline industry, remains intact. But I have also heard pleas for help from the many people and businesses that are critical to the efficient functioning of the aviation system: skycaps, cabbies, and the employees of airlines, restaurants, and the variety of shops found in airports. Thousands of hard-working Americans have taken pay cuts or have lost their jobs but still have bills to pay. Mr. Speaker, I urge Members, we have heard the airlines and we have quickly responded. I only urge us to hear the pleas of individual Americans and respond to them, also.”
