Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 15, 2011
Mr. President, I rise in opposition--very strong opposition--to the Paul amendment. The Senate voted on this earlier this year and turned it down very emphatically. The Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, is taken for granted by some. They just assume there will always be money and everything can go on constantly. The Senate has rejected this. The FAA has raised very substantial concerns publicly--but more importantly, from my point of view, to me privately--that at all levels they will have to start compromising safety, although they will not intend to, and eventually we will put FAA at risk. It is a very bad and dangerous amendment--a mischievous amendment-- and it should be defeated. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.
