Aero-News Quote of the Day
"NBAA commends the efforts made by Senators Inouye
(D-HI), Stevens (R-AK), Baucus (D-MT), Grassley (R-IA), Rockefeller
(D-WVA), Hutchison (R-TX) and Roberts (R-KS), among others, to
reach an agreement on the FAA financing portion of the bill. In
terms of FAA funding, they have reached a workable, reasonable
compromise that builds on the proven and effective general aviation
fuel tax. Given the importance of air transportation to our
nation's economy and citizens' quality of life, we hope the Senate
will recommit itself to passing an FAA reauthorization bill this
year."
Source: Ed Bolen, president of the National
Business Aviation Association, commending Congress for its work to
date to fund the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and
modernize the nation's aviation system... and urging the Senate to
continue its work for passage of FAA reauthorization legislation.
However, consideration of the measure was suspended by the Senate,
after a procedural vote unrelated to FAA reauthorization and
funding.
