I thank the gentleman very much. As a Congressman from the Cleveland area, I want to thank the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Graves) for pointing out the importance of making this change so that we can continue to have the air show at the same time that we have these major sporting events going on. What most people may not understand, in Cleveland we have a lake- front airport that is a relatively short distance from our football stadium, and it's also not that far away from our baseball stadium. So it's important for this great event, which is the air show, to be able to get the cooperation from all Federal authorities so that we can proceed with it. {time} 1950 This is one of the major events of the end of summer in Cleveland. And we're very proud of the airshow. It's a Cleveland tradition that goes back many, many years. And I would hope to have the support of Members of both sides of the aisle. And I want to thank my good friend for helping to take the initiative on this because I think this is something that, hopefully, we'll all be able to agree on.
