“The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for keeping Americans safe in the air and on the ground. It should be subject to rigorous and consistent oversight. Our constituents deserve a Congress that does its job of holding the FAA accountable. Too often, the FAA takes months just to respond to congressional inquiries, much less fix these longstanding problems. I am proud that the House adopted my bipartisan amendment requiring the head of the FAA to testify annually before Congress so that we can get answers about the Agency's successes and shortcomings. My amendment also strengthens the transparency on FAA's response time for congressional requests. Holding Federal agencies accountable is not a partisan issue. Every American benefits from tough, consistent, and fair oversight. I urge the Senate to include this oversight amendment in its own FAA legislation. Brain Imaging Helps Blast Exposure Victims”
