Last week, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) issued the following statement after the House overwhelmingly passed the Senate amendment to the bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act to reauthorize the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for five years:
"The U.S. is known around the world as the global leader in aviation safety and innovation, and this FAA reauthorization bill will make sure America stays that way.
"I applaud Chairman Sam Graves for his determined leadership in seeing this FAA reauthorization through with Member-driven input and broad bipartisan support. I am confident that with the commonsense changes we delivered in this bill we will shore up America's aviation technology and critical infrastructure needs and maintain the gold standard of safety that Americans expect and deserve when they fly."
