“As I just stated, I had a couple of sons who worked the Ninth Circuit. My son Leif Reid is administrative assistant to the Ninth Circuit. He just called the cloakroom and indicated the Ninth Circuit stayed the order that was issued yesterday. The pledge is intact. He is faxing me the opinion of the court. I am, frankly, amazed they did it as quickly as they did, but I am happy they did this. On behalf of the many people who support this legislation, I say to my friend, Senator Durbin, he has done great work on this issue. I appreciate the support of Senator Grassley and Senator Harkin but especially the Senator from Illinois for his hard work on behalf of frustrated fliers everywhere. We have frustrated fliers at McCarran in Las Vegas, the sixth busiest airport in America. This is unfortunate to frustrated fliers. When fliers at O'Hare are less frustrated, we have more people coming to Las Vegas. It affects not only the Chicago area, the State of Illinois, but the entire country.”
