the house of representatives is very similarly set up to the house of commons. and then the senate would, therefore, be left to be based on the house of lords. we don't have dukes and earls and noble titles like that. we have states. every state is equal in the senate. so the states kind of take the place of our house of lords and our senate chamber. the british often using that green color in government. the colonies would use it and into the american government. but the red would be much more the house of lords kind of color. you will see red in that early senate here in philadelphia. definitely has that kind of look tore to it that seems higher end. the interesting thing about the senate is they are created with more power. the power is a tie to the president that the house of representatives does not have. treaties in the united states are with the advice and consent of the senate, approved by the advice and consent of the senate. the senate has to approve all treaties. the house does not. the senate does. so there's one power. also any time the president mak

here in the house. and that is over the privatization of the air traffic operations in this country. i'm not going to talk about the entire debate here on the floor, but the point is, with both bills so similar, absent privatization, we could move well within the temporary extension. in fact, we could probably have a bill done wsh well we are not here much. congress is having the fewest number of days. a week in april and a couple of days in may when we are going to be here that we could get this done. so that seems to me to be the more prudent course. the chairman and i do agree on what needs to be addressed at the f.a. first off, the biggest problem the f.a.a. has is the united states congress. the stupid shutdowns, sequestration and other things that interrupted critical work, and the orderly operation of the air traffic control system. so how do we protect the f.a.a. from congress and idiots who want to shut down the government? that's a tough one. i propose mandatory spending. the f.a.a. is virtuall
