On the recordMarch 15, 2000
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pose a question to the chairman. In the conference report's joint explanatory statement, critical language directing the FAA administrator to ensure that all runways at civil airports have standard runway cost safety areas in accordance with the most cost-effective and efficient method appears out of sequence. This language, which ensures that future AIP runway grants include provisions of bringing runway safety areas in accordance with FAA regulations should be included in section 514 rather than 515. Is that the chairman's understanding as well?
