DRIVING THE DAY: Senator CLINTON writes to the major airlines, the Air Transport Association of America, and the Pentagon, asking that the airlines waive any and all fees for service members who are traveling with excess bags. She is calling on the Pentagon to work with the airlines to facilitate direct billing of these fees to the Pentagon so that our troops are out of the billing loop, and don't have to incur any costs or outlay any money (even if only temporarily until reimbursement).
