at the moment the house has thought passed an f.a.a. reauthorization bill. time is short. ly 15 the current law expires, and my plea to my colleagues in the house where i formally served is take up the senate bill, address the issues that you want as members of the house and representing your constituency, and send us the bill back so that we can conference this issue and have a more long-term reauthorization bill. certainty matters. certainty matters to the manufacturers in kansas. certainty matters to the airports and the pilots who utilize those airports and do not allow us once more to be in this circumstance of an extension one time after another and the uncertainty that that provides. it is, the bill in my view that the senate has approved in such an overwhelming fashion, it would be a shame if the important reforms that are included in that bill were held up by the house in large part because of a significant controversial proposal to privatize the national air traffic control system, and it sharply divides congress. everything that i've read and heard from, everythi

the f.a.a. saying no to requiring pilots to receive psychological testing, the average said the tests are ineffective because they capture a pilot's mental health for a moment in time. they do not provide any insight into weather the pilot suffers problems later on. last year a german pilot treated for suicidal tendencies deliberately flew an airliner into a mountain side. the f.a.a. is urgeing greater reporting by the pilots them service of mental problems. >> throughs of americans are hurt or die because of furniture that tips over. a proposed law aims to reduce the hazards inside of your home. senator casey of of calls for requiring stronger stability standards for clothing stores like dressers and the biggest risk of course is for children. >> half of all electric cars are sold in california and now there is a question of where to charge them. governor brown is calling for a massive build out of charging netborks with a few private companies stepping up and pg&e is asking for relaxed regulat

both the cities of ontario and los angeles, as well as f.a.a. staff have put in hundreds of hours of effort to approve and prepare for the management transfer of this hub airport. when both ontario international airport and los angeles international airport were operated by the same agencies, facility charges, or p.f.c.'s, collected at one airport could be used for projects at the other one. going forward, h.r. 4369 will enable a certain amount of passenger facility charges collected at the new independent ontario international airport to be used for projects at los angeles international airport as a way to pay back l.a.x. for sharing its passenger facility charges in the past years. since its not possible under existing law today, we're fixing this glitch. this this legislation will not cost the taxpayers a penny and the bill does nothing to increase passenger fees or any other fees. this is supported by all the stakeholders, including the f.a.a., city of los angeles, los angeles rural airports, city of ontario, ontario international airport aut

but the f.a.a. sts only reveal a pilot's mental health at the moment that they are given and can't predict future problems. in titusville, florida, a three-year-old girl likely would have drowned in this pool if not for her nine-year-old cousin. he spotted her under water and pulled her out. the surveillance video shows her coming out of the pool right there. the girl had stopped breathing. a teenager used c.p.r. training she learned at school and saved the child's life. today, vice president joe biden praised a sexual assault victim whose written statement in court drew sympathy from around the world. the six-month sentence given to her attacker, stanford university, drew outrage. in an open letter to the anonymous victim, biden wrote: and we'll be right back. eat more fiber. flax seeds. yogurt. get moving. keep moving. i know! try laxatives. been there, done that. my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know. tell me something i don't know. vo: linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess

the federal aviation administration's maintenance backlog has grown to $5 billion and the f.a.a. has identified over $400 million in needs for immediate facilities' repairs that we are not able to meet under our current allocation. if we do not invest in our transportation system, efficiency and vast will be compromised. meanwhile, we have also an affordable housing crisis in this country. 8 million very low-income americans are paying more for their rent. for every four families that are able to receive assistance, only one can be served in this fiscal environment. families cannot pay for higher education if the majority of their income goes to keeping a roof over their head. it is important to continue to adequately fund the drinking water state revolving fund and work to mitigate lead contamination. the sources are critical to modernize our water extra infrastructure and protecting public health. as the events in flint, michigan, indicate, the more our quality is compromised, the more it becomes a public crisis. it is about preserving an ecosystem keeping our drinking water fr
