On the recordSeptember 15, 1999
I am pleased to offer H.R. 1551, which is entitled the Civil Aviation Research and Development Act of 1999, for its passage by the House today. Overall, the legislation after acceptance of the manager's amendment will authorize $208 million in fiscal year 2000 and $229 million in fiscal year 2001 for the Federal Aviation Administration in order to have them conduct research and development activities that are helping to increase the efficiency and safety of aviation. A safe and efficient air transportation system is essential to our Nation's economic prosperity, especially since aviation and related industries contribute $700 billion to the U.S. economy and encompass over 8 million jobs. As I know very well from having worked closely with Administrator Jane Garvey on the FAA's year 2000 computer problem, safety remains the number one priority at the FAA.
