the faa has not responded to that. senator feinstein has also requested the faa to focus on that. today, the airport has no power to tell the airlines what kind of aircraft to fly. in the past, the faa has never stepped in and told airlines what type of aircraft to fly. we are asking to break new ground here. our pricing, we charge on a weight-based sea, so it is per thousand and we don't have the ability to charge more than that. we have a right to charge a minimum landing fee, but only a landing fee based on actual cost. even though we have a $200 minimum fee, that is not enough to drive the airlines to fly larger aircraft. it's a nationwide problem, it is going on at newark, laguardia, kennedy, washington national as well. the faa may move us to a full- fledged control which means everything would be frozen and no new flights. this would be terrible from a competitive point of view. traffic growth we have seen is driven by competition. every market that virgin america starts, we see fares drop 20%. that brings more people into our hotels and to our city. i view it as essential

i can be the first girl inspector for the faa. and i had my interview, and my first boss was bill glenn. and i answered all their questions, and then i asked hem all about the faa and what they expected of me and what i was going to -- where was i going to go with the faa. and he said, i like her line of questioning. you're hired. so i was with the faa, had a great time with them. and then ntsb stole me over and i became an investigator until i retired in '84. i've done over 450 accidents, whether large or 0 small. >> that must be a challenge. >> that was a great challenge, yes. but very interesting and every accident investigation was different. >> absolutely. i'm sure it was a learning experience, too, to see all the different considerations, safety considerationses and things to watch out for. >> that's correct. you hit on a very good word of safety because most of the accidents there has been a safety problem with that accident either by pilot not taking heed or the mechanic or maybe the aircraft itself. that's why one of the

i agree with you about the value of the faa tools and i support the clean authorization of faa. could you please describe exactly why the faa is so valuable, what authority does it provide that other statutes don't? >> well, it basically provides authority for intelligence agencies to gather or collect information on conversations overseas between persons overseas, non-u.s. citizens. and that intelligence is tremendously important to our ability to analyze and predict threats against the united states citizens overseas and to the united states homeland itself. absent that, we would be in the dark when it comes to identifying individuals from overseas that harbor willingly or unwillingly persons to do us harm. one example i could give is the this case. it was recently concluded in convictions in new york. that is the case that benefited dramatically from the benefits of the faa. many of the other benefits would have to be discussed in a closed session. >> could i have just one short follow-up? a two-part follow-up, is it critical we reauthorize faa this year. and is there suffici
