Anything that could undermine our agenda needs to be nipped in the bud." Grella said Republicans did not know that DeLay would make the proposal "He was doing some thinking and this was the conclusion he came to," the spokesman said. Hastert made the proposal to retain the current standards of conduct. Rep. Mark Kirk, RT11., said, "It's a mark of a leader to take a bullet for the team and not for the team to take a bullet for the leader. I'm very glad we decided to stick; with the rules."

"At an earlier point in aviation's development, there was less incentive, less willingness to be candid about problems," Blakey said. Though pilots often are at odds with their employers, they agree that airline management shares their commitment to safety. Paul Rice, vice president of the Air Line Pilots Associatioa said airline executives realize safety enhances the bottom line. "If there's a big plane crash, people stop frying," Rice said. Rice points to a change in federal regulations, which took effect Dec. 14, 1995, as a key development for aviation safety. On that dav. all commercial air carriers from commuter planes with 10 or. more passenger seats to jumbo jets were required to follow the same safety rules for operating. Before then, planes with 30 or fewer seats fell under less stringent regulations than bigger aircraft. Echoing the caution of many safety experts, Bill Waldock, aviation safety professor at Embry-Riddl- e Aeronautical University in Arizona, characterized the past few years as "safer, not safe." Waldock noted much was made of the fact 2002 ended without a single person dying in a commercial airline accident. Eight days into 2003, 21 people were killed in a plane crash in Charlotte, N.C "When we have a real safe period, people get complacent," Waldock said.

Safety experts agree that better training and awareness of safety.issues have played a big part in making U.S. skies safer. A key effort has been the FAA's formation in 1997 of the Commercial Aviation Safety Team, which set the goal of reducing fatal aviation accident rates by 80 percent by 2007. The accident rate has fallen 50 percent since then, and is on track to meet the goal, said FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette. As part of the CAST project, airline unions and management, along with federal agencies and manufacturers, are collaborating on identifying safety problems and solving them Among the 85 safety improvements CAST is working on: .Teaching pilots how to recover from unusual flight conditions that could be dangerous. I Developing tougher stan- d Awareness and Warning System. All other planes with more than six seats must be retrofitted with the devices by March 29, r2005. The plane that crashed in Missouri in October was months away from being outfitted with g a system that might have prevented the accident. . On the ground, 34 major airports have been equipped with systems that warn air traffic controllers of a potential collision on runways. One of the worst aviation disasters in history involved two jumbo jets that ran into each other on a runway in Tenerife in the Canary Islands in 1977. killing 582 people.

Aviation accidents decline in 2004 PRESS twin-engin- Correction fl ASSOCIATED WASHINGTON Only 34 people have died in U.S. commercial airline crashes in the past three years, making it one of the safest periods fri aviation history even as more Americans than ever travel by air. On Oct. 20, a Corporate Aire lines turboprop crashed into the woods on approach to the Kirksville Regional Airport in Missouri, killing 13 people. Those were the only fatalities aboard US. scheduled airlines for the year. . National Transportation Safety Board chairman Ellen Engle-ma- n Conners, noting that some 42,000 people die every year on the roads, said, "I hope all modes of transportation could replicate aviation's safety record." The last U.S. crash of a jumbo jet was Nov. 12, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 587 lost part of its tail and plummeted into a New York Cky neighborhood, killing 265 people. Safety investigators concluded that the crash was caused by the pilot moving the rudder back and forth too aggressively', which put more pressure on the tail than it could bear. Last year, the number of fatal accidents per 100,000 departures was .015. Air travelers are estimated to have boarded planes 685 million times in 2004, a 3 percent increase over 2000, the previous busiest year, according to the Air Transport Associatioa Marion Blakey, who heads the Federal Aviation Administration, said new technology has improved safety. For example, many planes now have systems that warn pilots if they're about to fly too close to the ground.

Brendan Daly, spokesman for House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, said Republicans pulled back on the discipline rule because "the issue simply became too hot for them to handle." Democrats on Monday toughened their own indictment rule. Previously, only committee chairmen were required to step aside if indicted. Now, the same rule applies to House Democratic leaders. Rep. J. D. Hayworth, agreed there was pressure on Republicans not to change conduct rules. "Constituents reacted and the House and, more importantly, the House leadership, responded accordingly," Hayworth said. The House will debate all new rules proposals Tuesday, the first day of the 109th Congress. more specific finding of ethical violations. Republicans gave no indication before the meeting that the indictment rule would be changed. Even more surprising was DeLay 's decision to make the proposal himself.

The surprise dual decisions were made by Speaker Dennis Hastert and by DeLay who asked GOP colleagues to undo the extreme act of loyalty they handed him in November. Then, Republicans changed a party rule so DeLay could retain his leadership post if indicted by the grand jury in Austin that charged three of the Texas , Republican's associates. When Republicans began their closed-doo- r meeting Monday night, leaders were considering a rules change that would have made it tougher to rebuke a House member for mis- Another Republican proposal would allow relatives to accompany a House member on a trip financed by a special interest group or nonprofit organization. Current rules specify a spouse or child may go along. The code of conduct that was retained by the Republicans requires lawmakers and employees to conduct themselves "at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House." Some Republicans believed the standard is too general and wanted discipline to depend on a more specific finding of wrongdoing. House Democrats and Republicans had an informal ethics truce after an investigation of Newt. Gingrich's aca tivities with organizations probe that ended seven years ago with a financial penalty against Gingrich. That truce ended last year when a freshman Democrat, Chris Bell of Texas, filed a complaint that led to a rebuke of DeLay. The House ethics committee cited the general rule several times in criticizing the majority leader. However, the panel did not find that Lay violated any other standard of conduct, even though it concluded that DeLay created the appearance that an energy company's political donors were given specia! access to him. DeLay also was admonished for his office's contact with federal aviation officials, seeking their intervention in a Texas political dispute. Later, the ethics panel formally the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct also admonished Bell for filing a complaint that presented an.exaggerated description of DeLay's conduct.
