On the recordMarch 31, 2011
I want to thank the gentleman from Florida for his kind words and for the commitment he has made to ensure that Puerto Rico is not overlooked in the deliberations about the Essential Air Service program. I cannot overstate the importance of air service for my constituents, especially those living in Ponce and Mayaguez, as well as the islands of Vieques and Culebra. Therefore, I look forward to working with the gentleman from Florida as well as with the ranking member of the committee of jurisdiction on this issue. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent to withdraw my amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the amendment is withdrawn. There was no objection. Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Schweikert The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 15 printed in House Report 112-46.
