U.S. House Votes To Reopen FAA Registry
Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) Accuses Administration Of "Going Out Of Its Way To Cause Pain" For Americans The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed H.J.Res. 90, the Flight Safety Act, which would fund the FAA and open the Aircraft Registry Office. “The House is continuing to act to blunt the impact of Democrats’ government shutdown, passing legislation today to fund the FAA and ensure that flight safety remains a top priority," Speaker of the House John Boehner said in a statement. "None of these stopgap measures would be necessary if the President and Senate Democrats would come to the table and work with Republicans to re-open government, address America’s mounting debt, and protect all Americans from the train wreck of a health care law. "It’s what the American people expect from their leaders, and the least Senate Democrats can do is pass these bipartisan measures in the interim so Americans are not needlessly hurt by their political gamesmanship.”
