Larry Pressler: “I thank my colleague. Although I support the proposed amendment…”

On the recordJune 6, 1995

I thank my colleague. Although I support the proposed amendment requiring a uniform security standard for passenger airlines, as chairman of the Commerce Committee I want the record to be clear on the point that the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation retains jurisdiction over matters concerning airline safety and security. Further, I want the record to be clear that simply by not objecting to this amendment on jurisdictional grounds, the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation will not be deemed to have waived its jurisdiction over the very important issue of air carrier security programs. I would ask whether the chairman agrees with my assessment of the jurisdictional situation and whether he would be willing to stipulate as much for the record?
