Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, all this amendment is doing is adding seven flights, because in 1966, we went with an overregulated approach, and the citizens of the Western United States need to be able to come to the Nation's Capitol. It is the most expensive place to travel to. All we are trying to do is lower prices and increase competition. Traditionally, these are very conservative principles that we all should be able to support. We all support the free market. We have to be able to look and say: Things were different in 1966 than they are now. Planes are more quiet. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
