I thank my colleague for yielding, and I am happy to express support for her amendment and for highlighting this issue. Remote towers can be a cost-effective way to provide additional safety and operational benefits to the National Air Space program. The underlying bill, in fact, includes report language encouraging the FAA ``to use remote tower technology as a means to enhance safety, reduce costs, and expand air traffic control services at rural and small community airports.'' I appreciate the gentlewoman's leadership on this issue. I urge adoption of her well-considered amendment.
