On the recordFebruary 2, 2011
I rise to speak about--which I did a little bit yesterday--the modernization of the Nation's air traffic control system. It is kind of important to New York and New Jersey. I cannot emphasize enough to all of my colleagues the importance of this issue to the United States. It is an issue I care deeply about, one Senator Hutchison cares deeply about, one I am completely committed to getting done. We have to. It is a sine qua non. It will make air traffic safer, more efficient, provide numerous economic and environmental benefits.
