Aviation Safety and Security
FINAL REPORT
TO
PRESIDENT CLINTON
VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE, CHAIRMAN
FEBRUARY 12, 1997
In compliance with the Executive Order 13015 of August 22, 1996, the undersigned present the report of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security.
President Clinton announced the formation of the Commission on July 25, 1996. A few days later, Vice President Gore led a site visit to Dulles International Airport, where he and other Commissioners saw airport and airline operations first-hand, and discussed issues with front line workers. This was the first of dozens of such visits. Over the next six months, the Commission visited facilities throughout the United States and in various locations abroad.

Senator Daschle (whose wife, Linda's resume included high-powered jobs with the Air Transport Association, the airline industry trade group, and the American Association of Airport Executives and who had worked as a lobbyist on behalf of American Airlines) pledged his allegiance to ensuring the economic well-being of the airline industry. "There is no doubt that unless we put the airlines back together in a way that gives all passengers the confidence that they can fly again," he vowed, "we're going to continue to suffer as a country economically."
In other words they flew around on the taxpayers dole and did NOTHING after their "visits".
