BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COLLINS. Madam Speaker, after a canceled 7 a.m. flight and not getting standby on a 9:30 flight, I am back in D.C. this afternoon to encourage support for the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, otherwise known as H.R. 3935.

This bill invests in critical airport infrastructure, encourages innovation, and improves efficiency through restructuring the FAA.

I also want to encourage my colleagues to support my amendment, H.R. 1818, which expands the qualified tuition program, otherwise known as the 529 plan, to include aviation mechanic and commercial pilot courses. This is a long-term solution for the aviation industry. It has 137 cosponsors and tons of aviation industry and labor group support.
