nancy cortis has that story from reagan's national airport. >> reporter: jeff, good morning. this incident occurred back on january 20th when a passenger jet narrowly missed colliding with a pair of 200 ton military cargo planes. in the congested skies over new york, an american airlines jumbo jet carrying 259 people came within seconds of a midair collision with two c-17s operated by the u.s. military. the passenger jet had just taken off from new york's kennedy airport en route to south paolo brazil. while it was climbing, an air traffic controller noticed. it was just one mile away from two air force cargo planes, and told another controller to halt its ascent, but that controller was busy with another task and didn't hear the message, so the plane continued to climb until an automatic cockpit alarm went off telling the pilot to descend. >> if the aircraft were literally one mile apart and we're talking about at the same altitude, that is extremely frightening. >> reporter: both the faa and the ntsb have launched investigations. was instrumentation the problem, or was it h

ronald reagan campaigned based on our national greatness and on the intrinsic good of our society and on restoring our place at the top of the world community. i can vividly remember in the summer of 1980 when ronald reagan made a speech at the veterans of foreign wars convention and just mentioned, as he was so want to do with symbolic phrases, that vietnam had been a noble cause. he had the media following him around the country mocking the comment at this point, only five years after the fallf south vietnam. but for those of us who had stepped forward and served in order to attempt to bring democracy to south vietnam, that was a great moment of inspiration. once he was elected, ronald reagan governed with the same sense of certainty about the greatness of our system and the goodness of our people. he convinced strong, talented people to join his administration with george shultz asecretary of state and cap weinberger as secretary of defense, he brought two lns into his cabinet who didn't always agree, which was rather famous in washington at the time, but who were able to combine f

the perimeter rule around washington reagan national airport was the biggest sticking point, and it took a lot of give on all sides to assure that the relaxation of the perimeter rule through exemptions was done in a way that will not hurt any of the stakeholders, i believe. i believe there is a balance. i believe we will have more western senators able -- i mean western senators and their constituents able to have direct access to national airport. i think we have done right by the airlines that are incumbent carriers at washington national, and we have made room for new entrants into washington national, and it was very difficult. and i just want to single out a few people who made huge contributions to this success. senator kyl from arizona, senator ensign from nevada. they represented the western interests so well, and they know aviation and they knew what we could do, and we have made great progress. i also want to commend senator wyden from oregon, senator cantwell who is going to be the new chairman of the aviation committee in the commerce committee. they both represented the nor

consumer choices in the markets should govern the schedules and flights out of reagan national, not the federal government. i would ask unanimous consent that my remarks regarding reagan national airport and my forthcoming remarks on health care policy appear as two distinct sections in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. demint: thank you, mr. president. this week, president obama gave a speech about health care, or actually i guess it was last week now. the speech was at a fancy hotel near washington, and he told jokes to make everyone laugh and sad stories to endear his audience further to his cause. the president said, as he has many times before, his law will lower the cost of health care. president obama knows how to give a good speech and he also knows how to tell it like it isn't. while president obama was busy selling his policies on the stump, others were busy analyzing the real effects of his health care law. it's not limiting cost. now, we heard some of the figures given by the democrats here from the congressional budget office but we have to expose th

at that dark hour in our nation's history, the american people turned to ronald reagan who diagnosed our country's problems very accurately. in this crisis, he said, government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem. he said the soviet union is indeed an evil empire and it was time, he said, that america stopped apologizing for its interests and started asserting them. at the time the american left warned that his policies would lead the nation to starvation and the world to con flig ration. instead we enjoyed a period of american prosperity and world influence that was best described with the words, morning again in america. he reduced the tax and regulatory burdens that were crushing america's economy. he reduced government spending as a percentage of g.d.p. he restored america's military strength, reasserted american interests around the world. he stopped apologizing for america's greatness and started celebrating it. it was recalled earlier in his farewell address, reagan attributed his success not to being a great communicator but to the fact that he was

last week, the nation and world celebrated the centennial of president ronald reagan's birth. reagan once told americans that they faced a choice between the constitutional liberty of free men and women in the future of higher taxes, bigger government, and less opportunity for families and businesses. last fall, american citizens had a choice to make. with the ratified the agenda of big deficits and out of control debt that the president imposed on the nation? or would they reaffirmed constitutional principles of limited government and free enterprise without burdensome regulations? the american people made their choice by selecting historic numbers of conservative republicans to congress with sweeping victories of the state and local level. now it is time for president obama to choose. will he listen to the people, reduced the size of government, and get our spending and debt under control? will he become the guardian of the unsustainable status quo? next week, we will find out what choice he makes when he releases his budget. unfortunately, early indications are that he and

we made a difference. >> reporter: a few years later in a 1994 letter to the nation, president reagan revealed he was suffering from alzheimers. as he faded from public view, his wife nancy carried on as the primary guardian of his legacy. he died on june 5, 2004 at the age of 93. the state funeral at washington's national cathedral was attended by leaders from around the world including mikhail gorbachev. now this weekend, the centennial of ronald reagan's birth is being commemorateed at his presidential library in california. one more opportunity for america to remember the gipper. ,,,,,,,,,,,, none of the fans at cow boy stadium will get to watch tonight's super bowl without watching past some very eye- catching art. here's barry petersen. >> reporter: they have gathered in dallas with rivalrys to settle. >> it's time for the lombardi trophy to go back home. >> reporter: it all plays out here at this $1.2 billion facility. america's most expensive football stadium or is it america's most expensive art gallery? >> you know, that was really our goal was to open this art to everyone t
