The gentlewoman from Kentucky [Mrs. Northup] is absolutely, positively correct. I have not thought of that airport for years, but I flew in there in 1962 when I went to basic training at Fort Knox, KY. It was one of the most depressing days of my life. I remember when I landed at the airport I arrived into Fort Knox, KY, and they put me on KP right away. If I had only known the need then. But I do remember the airport well. The FAA advises me that all the remaining funds needed to reimburse the local authorities for costs related to the ILS are included in the fiscal year 1998 budget, and the FAA intends to provide the final reimbursement by the end of that fiscal year. I was just wondering, do they still march the men up Misery Hill the way they used to?
