Moran and the leaders of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.).\n\n\u201cWe have worked hard to bring the FAA and aviation community together to make certain that we do not end up with a result of one more extension after extension and provide some certainty the FAA can fulfill its mission,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cWhen I became Ranking Member of the Aviation Subcommittee, I stated the importance in passing a long-term reauthorization and pledged to work with Sens. Duckworth, Cruz and Cantwell, as well as my other colleagues on the Commerce Committee, to get a comprehensive agreement completed.\u201d \u201cContinuous short-term extensions are detrimental to the agency, industry and the flying public,\u201d continued Sen. Moran. \u201cThis week and next week, Congress must come together to ensure our current extension of the Federal Aviation Administration \u2013 which is until May 10 \u2013 will be our last. If the United States is to remain a leader in the aviation and aerospace domain, it is critical we provide the FAA the resources and tools they require. Recent incidents indicate now, more than ever, our aviation system needs certainty, stability, and that is provided, in part, by a long-term reauthorization from Congress.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur bill provides critical safety enhancements, grows America\u2019s aviation workforce, invests in infrastructure at airports in urban and rural communities, sets clear priorities for advancing innovative aviation solutions, improves the flying public\u2019s travel experience, and ensures a healthy general aviation sector for years to come,\u201d said Sen. Moran. \u201cI thank my colleagues on the committee for working to accomplish this moment, and I look forward to the vote that takes place a little later today. I encourage my colleagues to work hard to see that we get this completed in the next few days.\u201d\n\nClick HERE to Watch Sen.
