Is not there . Thats why we recently sent a letter to the committee to the heads of the phs calling for Interagency Task force to take a holistic approach in supporting venetians industry. Im concerned about the different requirements and Health Assessments across the nation. A lot of different requirements and confucian. That affects millions of travelers intimately in who depend on the healthy aviation sector. I repeat, 11 million workers who depend on the Aviation Industry. Among the most publicized is the social distancing measures. They were most visible when they issued to help slow the spread of this deadly virus.

Even now we hear from airlines limiting is not necessary. Into the economic environment with very limited resources. Thats why we must make sure the measures be put intous pl
America about the efforts to improve the safety of airports and planes and what the federal government can do. Security wille now come to order. Thank you, Ranking Member and the panel of witnesses for joining us today. We are here to discuss proposals for how to restore our nations been so system that has devastated by covid19.
