“the Senate has done a terrific job of doing something on the 1-month anniversary of this tragedy for America that will begin to rehabilitate the economy of our country, and that is with aviation security we can begin to assure the American public they can fly in safety. The Senate has passed its bill. I think it is a terrific bill. It will augment the cockpit. It will give better quality screening. It will put air marshals in the air. The American public needs to know the flying system is safe, and this aviation bill is a good start in that direction. I hope the House will follow suit and pass its bill. I know there are some differences, but I hope they will act expeditiously so we can send a bill to the President that will begin to rehabilitate the whole aviation industry and the industries that depend on it. So I thank the distinguished chairman of the committee, Senator Hollings, Senator McCain, Senator Rockefeller, my counterpart on the Subcommittee on Aviation. We could not have done it without the total support and the total bipartisanship that produced the 100-0 vote.”
