Despite an unprecedented level of partisan gridlock in Washington, it was demonstrated today that hard work and bipartisan outreach can lead to results. The House Homeland Security Committee unanimously passed H.R. 2719, the Transportation Security Acquisition Reform Act, a bill sponsored by U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08).
"As Chairman of the Transportation Security Subcommittee, my goal is to hold TSA accountable while ensuring the safety of the American people and responsible stewardship of our tax dollars," said Rep. Hudson. "Today's bipartisan bill demonstrates that Democrats and Republicans can work together, and I'm proud of the progress we are making on such an important issue."
