we're nearing prepandemic passenger volume but we have to improve that. mr. bidwell, how can the meaningful guidelines that were set forth in this legislation help with the airports and how can strategic infrastructure investments improving our airports also addressed in the bill help revive the tourism economy in the wake of the pandemic? >> thank you, chair rosen. airports have experienced a host of operational challenges particularly during the pandemic and needed flexibility in implementing and complying with security requirements. we appreciate our tsa partners for working with airports to provide such flexibility. it greatly assists airports when requirements are outcome focused as opposed to overly restrictive. in terms of infrastructure our airports continue to face substantial infrastructure needs to replace or upgrade aging terminals, gates, security check points, and ramps, and other things. inadequate infrastructure at our airports fails to meet growing needs of local businesses and tourists and jeopardizes the economic recovery of american cities
