WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress and the White House agreed early Friday on a 
$15 billion plan to financially bolster the airline industry in the 
aftermath of the terrorist attacks that has threatened the survival of some 
airlines.

The House is expected to approve the package, which also provides some 
liability protections for the airlines, later Friday and the Senate was 
expected to swiftly follow suit.
