The Leader’s Floor Lookout: Thursday, July 20, 2023

Here’s what to watch for on the House Floor today:

Investing in Safer and More Efficient Air Travel

The United States has long held the gold standard for air travel and aviation safety; however, due to a lack of innovation and bureaucratic hurdles, other countries like China are starting to pass us by. 


The United States must maintain its global leadership in aviation by constantly advancing technology and improving the traveling experience for passengers.

Investing in our aviation workforce and infrastructure improves the safety of air travel, creates good jobs, and broadens the aviation workforce pipeline. 


The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 expires on September 30, 2023, and it is important to reauthorize these vital programs as well as continue to improve our aviation system to ensure America remains the gold standard.

H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, introduced by Chairman Sam Graves, reauthorizes the Federal Aviation Administration and aviation safety and infrastructure programs for the next five years.

House Republicans are proud to lead this bipartisan legislation, which is critical to secure our global leadership in air travel, support the economy with millions of jobs, make the system safer and more efficient for travelers, and ensure the future of American aviation.
