Mr. President, if I may say I appreciate the leadership of my good friend from Oklahoma and his unwavering support in bringing this to all of our attention. I have been a pilot for not quite 55 years, but 45 years, and I understand completely. Senator Inhofe brought it to the attention of all of us, even the nonpilots here. His steadfast leadership in support of this action and also his ability to work across the aisle with those on our side of the aisle, Democrats, I appreciate so much. I know Senator Boxer feels very compelled about this and the Senator's leadership in working with her on the Transportation bill and both of them bringing that to the forefront for all of us. We are all going to benefit from that. I thank the Senator and look forward to continuing to work with him.
