Our friends of the other side of the aisle suggest that President Bush has no plans to privatize the air traffic control system. They point out that the President hasn't privatized any towers in the past 3 years. Then why is the President threatening to veto this bill if it includes language to prohibit privatization? Why is the President delaying the funding for essential airport construction projects? Does this make any sense to the Senator?
