REP. LIEU STATEMENT ON THE RECENT SHORT TERM FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) REAUTHORIZATION BILL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D I Los Angeles County) issued the following statement regarding the short term Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization bill.

“I am disappointed that the FAA short term reauthorization did not include any provisions to address the outrageous noise distresses faced every day by my constituents. The Republican majority silenced other voices and did not even allow Members of Congress to offer input or amendments to the short term reauthorization bill and mitigate this ongoing problem.

The FAA and the Republican majority should be engaging and listening to communities, not shutting out their representatives who were elected to voice their concerns. As a member of the Quiet Skies Caucus, I will continue to push for transparency and provisions to heed the daily noise violations faced by families in the 33rd District.”
