Eddie Bernice Johnson: “I look forward to hearing from these witnesses on how we encourage the use of ESPCs to help make the Federal Government…”

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pleasure to pay tribute to the life and legacy of former Speaker of the House James "Jim" Wright, who passed away on Wednesday, May 6, at the age of 92.

General aviation airports don't get the same attention as commercial airports but play a critical role in our aviation system.

Thank you, Chairman Larsen and Ranking Member Graves, for holding today's hearing on the state of general aviation.
