Ralph Torres.\nHowever, the project did not move forward as there were still concerns that needed to be clarified particularly those related the CNMI Joint Military Training or CJMT issues.\nTorres and the Department of Defense recently agreed to shelve CJMT discussions for a while so they can focus exclusively on the divert project and move forward with the construction of divert facilities on Tinian.\nThe Commonwealth Ports Authority has approved the U.S. Air Force layout plan for the airport which will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for review and approval.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sablan.house.gov/kilili-funding-tinian-divert-project-now-219m"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8634068071842194, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
