mr. speaker , first let me yield myself 30 seconds to point out that i wish we did have provisions in this bill to deal with the airline industry , because i think we should . 
the problem is that we do not , and we go to conference with a situation where those who have well-funded plans are now likely to be asked to pay because of the costs of the airline industry . 
and let me also point out from mr. boehner 's comment about making the pbgc better funded , if we have a lot of terminated plans , it is not going to be better funded . 
and the gentleman brags about a permanent yield curve which is unpredictable to business . 
it would be better to have a corporate bond rate , and i am sorry that is not in the legislation . 
mr. speaker , i yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from massachusetts ( mr. neal ) xz4002910 , a senior members of the ways and means committee and one of the leading experts on retirement issues .
