Richard Hudson: “I would like to thank Ranking Member Richmond, Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, and Ranking Member Jackson Lee…”

“I would like to thank Ranking Member Richmond, Chairman McCaul, Ranking Member Thompson, and Ranking Member Jackson Lee for their work on this issue, and I appreciate the comments the gentlewoman had tonight. I would echo that I appreciate the bipartisan nature in which she works on issues on the Homeland Security Committee. I appreciate the relationship we have had. I respect the gentlewoman very much. I appreciate the advice that she has given me, and I appreciate the cooperation under which we have worked throughout this Congress. I think this product that we bring to the floor today is an example of bipartisanship of the best kind--where we can come together, Republicans and Democrats, and work for the betterment of the American people. I thank the gentlewoman for that very much. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to submit a letter from the airline industry in support of this bipartisan bill. September 16, 2014. Hon. Mike McCaul, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Hon. Richard Hudson, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Hon. Bennie Thompson, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Hon. Cedric Richmond, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Chairman McCaul, Chairman Hudson, Ranking Member Thompson and Congressman Richmond: On behalf of Airlines for America (A4A), I am writing to reiterate our strong support for H.R.…”
