On the recordOctober 2, 2003
That was a meeting with the President. I agree with the gentleman. It was not a conference meeting, however. It may have been a meeting with the President. We hope that we will proceed. The FAA conference report, we were told that that was going to be on the floor last week and this week. We understood that we would consider it this week. The rule was not brought up. Can the gentleman illuminate for the Members where that bill stands? I know the previous week we could not find the papers, as I recall. This week we understand the papers have been found, but we did not move ahead on that. Can the Majority Leader tell us why we have not proceeded on that and what he perceives to be the future of the FAA reauthorization bill?
