This week, the Senate will continue working on FAA Reauthorization. The deadline is three days away.

It’s going to take a lot of cooperation to get this complicated bill done. Thankfully, we have made some good progress over the last few days on germane amendments, and we hope to finish our work in time for the House to act on our bill. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to prioritize reaching an outcome, so we prevent slipping past the deadline.
