Sam Graves: “I appreciate your efforts.”

We are grateful to Congressman Nehls (R-TX), along with Chairmen Sam Graves (R-MO) and Garret Graves (R-LA), for their leadership on this issue.

Last month, the House approved the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by a very strong, bipartisan vote of 387 to 26.
