J.C. Watts: “Mr. Chairman, the FAA's Mike Monroney Center in Oklahoma City is the Nation's premier air traffic controller training…”

On the recordJune 27, 1996
Mr. Chairman, the FAA's Mike Monroney Center in Oklahoma City is the Nation's premier air traffic controller training center. The FAA recently rewarded a contract to the University of Oklahoma, under an open competitive process and open evaluation procedure, to conduct air traffic controller training at the Monroney Center. At a time when the public is particularly concerned about air traffic safety standards and the procedures that support those standards, I would like to confirm, Mr. Chairman, that the 1997 transportation appropriation includes sufficient funds to fully implement this FAA contract, and that this much-needed training can go forward at the Monroney Center.
