On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
Madam President, I wish to ask the Senator from Arizona to engage in a colloquy with myself and Senator Rockefeller and any others who wish to speak within this colloquy regarding an issue that was not able to be resolved because of the time constraints. I want to say that every stakeholder representing constituents all over America gave greatly to adopt this amendment that will have, in my opinion, a responsible relaxation of the perimeter rule at Washington National Airport. We can talk about the details certainly as we move forward, but there was one major issue left unresolved that I think deserves a colloquy so we know what we have to do to finish this process in conference before we adopt an FAA bill that is a very important bill for our country. I ask the Senator from Arizona to state his concerns about the unfinished part of this bill, and then we will open it for discussion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
