WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement urging immediate approval of a clean FAA extension:
“There should be immediate action to approve an extension of FAA programs. At stake is the safety of millions of travelers, 70,000 construction jobs and $200 million per week in revenue. Legislation that I co-sponsored with more than 100 of my colleagues would authorize the aviation programs through Sept. 30 and is supported by a broad coalition of aviation organizations. It should be acted on immediately and not continue to be held up by a rigid Republican ideological agenda. The livelihoods of far too many American families hang in the balance."
