I rise to support my amendment. I am offering this amendment on behalf of myself and the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Gordon). This is a straightforward managers' amendment. The amendment makes technical changes to the bill. It also creates one inadvertent but substantive drafting error. Correcting the bill will make it clear that the Federal Aviation Administration retains its current authority to waive the requirements to obtain a license, while also making it clear that that authority does not extend to flights that carry humans. Finally, the amendment removes the requirement that crews sign reciprocal waivers of liability. This amendment is not controversial. It is bipartisan, and I urge its adoption.
