On the recordSeptember 20, 2007

we must see that flight attendants are trained in a way that allows us to ensure the safety of those people in their care, our Nation's fliers. But this amendment can do much more. It may also help to ensure the safety of those who were nowhere near the airplane. My amendment cannot prevent every tragedy that comes from alcohol abuse, but it is one more valuable step we can take. I am pleased to note that my amendment has the support of the Association of Flight Attendants and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
