<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> would have
been zero, and said Justice attorneys made a "considered judgment" that
the case was weak."The decisions made in this case were in the
best interest of the United States," he said.Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman
of the committee, defended Perez against the criticism."I think it's clear
the department made the right call," he said, adding Perez acted "ethically."He
noted that Perez consulted with ethics officials on the decision and reiterated
that attorneys decided not to intervene in the other case because it
lacked merit.Perez, in his testimony, also stressed his own personal story
-- as the son of immigrants who escaped the dictatorship in the
Dominican Republic -- and his commitment to job creation."Businesses will
always be the primary generator of good jobs," he said.
The public should expect flight delays as furloughs kick in Sunday for
air traffic controllers, although the effects may be felt unevenly from
airport to airport, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration said
Thursday.Without the controller furloughs, FAA officials could find no way
to cut $637 million from the agency's budget as required by automatic,
across-the-board spending cuts approved by Congress, said Michael Huerta,
the agency's administrator. The FAA has estimated there could be flight
delays of about 90 minutes during peak periods.Likewise, the agency sees
no way around closing 149 air traffic control towers at small airports
that are currently operated under contract for the FAA, Huerta told the
Senate Appropriations Committee's transportation subcommittee. The tower
closings have been delayed until June 15.The furloughs and tower closings
were designed "to minimize impacts on the maximum number of travelers,"
he said. But he acknowledged, "We're forced to choose between very unattractive
options."A key Republican lawmaker accused the White House of deliberately
trying to upset the public."They want to cause the most pain to
the American people out there so they will put pressure on Congress
to back away from sequestration (spending cuts)," Rep. Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania
told a transportation gathering hosted by the National Journal news magazine.
Shuster chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee."
