Economic growth of just over 1\1/2\ percent is unsatisfactory. We all want a better economy and better jobs. In south central Kansas, the aviation manufacturing industry has been hit particularly hard. Machinists, engineers, small business owners, and families are very worried about what their future might hold. That's why I've offered bipartisan legislation offered in the Senate by Senator Klobuchar which will reduce the burden on manufacturers who are building airplanes in the United States of America, trying to compete with global companies all across the world. The Small Aircraft Revitalization Act, H.R. 1848, would greatly reduce that burden and help manufacturers all across south central Kansas and indeed all across America to get their products to market faster so that we can compete and provide aircraft, great tools for all businesses, to compete all around the world. It will replace an outdated certification system and greatly ease the burden on those who are trying to build these great products here in the United States. This bill would ensure that this industry can continue to thrive in the years and decades ahead. ____________________

I just reiterate there is enormous importance to this legislation. While I appreciate that the gentleman from Michigan offered his amendment in a friendly tone, it guts the legislation in its entirety. I also want to offer that H.R. 1900…

I would just like to correct a couple of things. This legislation is not a fig leaf. It is intended to clarify some things that have been said, some beliefs that people hold, about what section 215 authorizes and what section 702…
