This bill recreates the risks and loopholes President Trump's administration eliminated after the January 29th collision that took 67 souls, including our son Sam. I now turn to Amy Hunter and Laura Ajandra, who lost their cousin Peter in the DCA crash. And also Christina Stovall, who lost her son Mickey. (12:44–12:59)
