And we've proposed a new policy to promote competition and keep down air fares. Great Lakes Aviation's action today is consistent with the spirit of our proposed policy. It will ensure greater choice and better access to the air travel system for the people of Decatur. It's a pleasure to see what can be achieved with dynamic local leadership, and the support of national leaders like Senator Moseley-Braun. This step reflects the view we all share that transportation is about more than concrete, asphalt, and steel, it's about people, and it's about providing them with the opportunity to lead safer, better, more fulfilling lives.
Good transportation can do that.
I'm looking forward to working with you to build the transportation system America needs for the new century, a transportation system that will truly be the tie that binds. If we do, then our best days will truly be yet to come.
