Whereas, On May 23, 1996, President Clinton and Chancellor Kohl also held a media conference in the Common Council Chamber, where they signed 2 aviation accords, the Open Skies Agreement and an air safety agreement, which pave the way for safer, less- regulated air travel between the United States and Germany; and
