    Statement on the United Airlines Labor Agreement

    August 27, 2000

        I am pleased that United Airlines and its pilots have reached an
    agreement at the bargaining table. I commend union and management for
    working together to resolve their differences in a way that will benefit
    the traveling public. I am also encouraged that over the last week the
    aviation industry met with Secretary Slater and pledged to work with my
    administration to address the service related issues and the long-term
    outlook for quality customer service.
