On the recordOctober 23, 2003
I think a purchase is so much more fiscally responsible, and it is such more honest with the budget. We are going to save billions of dollars by doing the purchase. The lease, in my opinion, is, frankly, not the right way to do it if we are going to be honest with the taxpayers and honest in saving money for the system. We need the airplanes. I am all in favor of moving forward with the airplanes. And certainly this is a much more logical deal. The CBO, Congressional Budget Office, certainly concurs that a purchase is a much more fiscally responsible method of purchasing the airplanes.
