On the recordSeptember 10, 1996
I rise in support of H.R. 3539, and I want to commend the chairmen and the ranking members of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Aviation Subcommittee for their work on this piece of legislation. I also want to thank them for including in H.R. 3539, title VII--the Federal Aviation Administration Research, Engineering, and Development, which are the provisions adopted by the Science Committee in H.R. 3322, the Omnibus Civilian Science Authorization Act authorizing the Federal Aviation Administration's [FAA] research and development program. The principal purposes of title VII strengthen the role of the Federal Aviation Administration's [FAA] Research Advisory Committee in setting FAA's R&D priorities and in streamlining the National Aviation Research Plan. This language is based on the recommendations of witnesses who appeared before the Technology Subcommittee during three oversight hearings on FAA's R&D programs.
