Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time and George H.W. Bush was in his final year in office. In a statement, Biden says, during that same speech, he also said the Senate and White House should work together to overcome differences.

The decision by the International Civil Aviation Organization's top-level governing council isn't binding, but most countries follow the agency's standards.
