Congressman Seeks GAO Review Of Air Safety Results

"When the public pays for five years of government work designed to help us improve flying safety, I think the public deserves to get a report back on what was learned. NASA won't do the work, so I am asking the GAO to bring back some answers to the committee that we can then share with the country."
