What happened

At the White House, airline representatives and pilots called for an end to the government shutdown. One speaker said, as he stated it, that the biggest way to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the national air traffic control system is to pass a clean continuing resolution.

Speakers said, as they stated it, that TSA officers and air traffic controllers working without paychecks are distracted by how to pay for gas and food, eroding the margin of safety, and that Congress owes the American people a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government before the busy holiday season.
