SOT Unnamed Airport Spokesperson: "You need to keep that ID handy and

Opening Reagan is a boost to the nations morale and its economic recovery. President Bush was in New York yesterday to push his plan to stimulate the economy and heal wounds.

"We ought to have 60 billion to $75 billion more of stimulus to encourage consumer confidence, to enhance business investment - as well as take care of displaced workers".
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld is now in Oman... the second stop of his overseas tour. Rumsfeld left the Republic of Uzbeckistan with the go-ahead for U.S. combat troops to operate from its territory... another step towards closing in on Osama Bin Laden who may not be so elusive after all.

"I have a little bit of a handle but I don't have the coordinates."
