when we sit together to re-authorize the f.a.a., mr. speaker, it isn't just about attending to the nation's business of ensuring safety of air travelers across the country. of course that is a priority, but it is an opportunity to implement the kind of innovative reforms we have seen across the globe and that america needs to re-establish itself as the world's aviation leader. . we have an opportunity together to deal with a bloated bureaucracy, to reduce taxpayer costs, to improve efficiency all in an industry that is designed to prioritize customers' experience and customer service. mr. speaker, americans pioneered air travel, and we remain the safest aviation system on the planet. but our own outdated bureaucracy, our own outdated rules are standing in the way of american innovators and making air travel more time consuming, more coastly and safety innovations more -- costly and safety innovations more difficult. mr. speaker, with this we can better serve our travelers and to preserve the world's finest commitment to safety, as we alw

the f.a.a. is recommending that l.a.p.d. top computers be banned from checked luggage on international flights. the concern is the batteries, when stored near certain toil trees cexplode. here's transportation correspondent kris van cleave. >> reporter: the f.a.a. has long been worried about the danger of lithium ion batteries in the cargo hold of a plane as this test video shows. but now, new tests found that potential danger could extend to even a single lithium ion battery in a large device like a l.a.p.d. top. turns out, if that kind of battery in a checked back overheats next to an aerosol or air polir remover or even rubbing alcohol it can spark an uncontrollable, catastrophic fire that burned so hot, some airliners couldn't put it out. in one test, an eight-ounce can of dry shampoo was strapped to an over heated laptop. it exploded in 40 seconds. >> fire onaboard bord is the worst thing that could happen to an aircraft. >> this man say former airline captain. >> having seen the devastation these batteries can cause, i

the f.a.a. is investigating a close call at san francisco's airport when an air canada jet failed to respond to repeated orders to abort its landing. this follows another near disaster three months ago involving the same airline at the same airport. here's transportation correspondent kris van cleave. >> 781, go around. air canada 781, go around. >> reporter: with air canada flight 781 closing in on runway 28 right sunday night, air traffic controllers at san francisco's airport made six calls to the pilots to abort the landing. there was no response from the flight from montreal with 149 on board. controllers feared a previous arrival wouldn't be clear of the similar -- same runway in time. a supervisor in the tower resorted to using a red light to alert the plane, which landed anyway. after landing, the tower made three more attempts to reach the air canada plane before finally hearing from the pilot, claiming there was a highway with the airliner's radio. >> that's pretty evident. >> i'm afrai

but 30 years have gone by and today after spending $7 billion, the f.a.a. still uses these outdated radar technology, moving from beacon to beacon, getting passed along as you travel across the united states and, yes, our air traffic control system still passes these little pieces of paper from one to the next to the next. oftentimes if you travel around, you'll go through areas where you're not captured by the radar at all while the other countries continue with this g.p.s. system. this outdated air traffic control system negatively impacts the entire flying public. an outdated a.t.c. means routes inefficiencies which means higher costs with yields more congestion in our skies and sitting on our tarmacs. i'd like to see a system that you don't leave the gate to go sit on the runway until you know that you actually have a slot and are moving into the air and have a direct flight to your point. but today you'll see many airlines that will sit you out on the tarmac waiting for a slot. more congestion is a direct factor of flight delays and cancelled flights. t

the f.a.a. in had a hearing indicated it would take another 10 years and $30 billion to update our air traffic control system for the air kayic system we have now. when asked, they said they hoped they would have it accomplished in 10 years. hope is not a plan. the trump administration supports the 21st century air act. air traffic controllers support the 21st century air act. airline pilots support t airlines support it. air cargo supports t we can go through a long list. yet we continue to deal with myths being spun that somehow this is adverse to aviation. we have an archaic air traffic control system that is hurting our nation. that is damaging our economy, and trying to move beyond fear and myths. mr. speaker, i urge colleagues to move beyond those myths and see the 21st century air act will benefit all users. bring the bill to the floor. let's have a vote and move our air traffic control system back. i yield back. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of

i'm proud that we worked together to get this bill over the finish line. now f.a.a. can continue to play a critical role in the federal government's response to the powerful hurricanes that have hit our country. the president is on his way to puerto rico to survey the hurricane damage personally and see how the federal government can continue to assist in the recovery efforts. our thoughts remain with the hurricane victims as they continue to piece their lives and communities back together. during his visit, the president will have the opportunity to see the resilience of the puerto rican people. he can also witness the overwhelming support of their fellow americans who have volunteered to help deliver relief. much of that support has come from the military, including the men and women of kentucky own -- queen ken's own air and a national -- kentucky's own air and national guard who helped bring relief to the virgin islands and puerto rico. just last week the brigade deployed from fort campbell in my home state to help support relief efforts in puerto rico. president

third, the package will require .60 f.a.a. to waive the $5 passenger facility charge during an aviation humanitarian crisis. and fourth, the package would require the f.a.a. to waive the u.s.-international transportation tax, which is $18 on a flight from puerto rico and the virgin islands. american citizens, mr. speaker. too often congress reacts to cries sees. crises.me for us -- it is time for us to be proactive and time for us to legislate before another disaster strikes. the humanitarian flight fairness package is a commonsense solution to a problem that directly affects our constituents. mr. speaker, i always try to deal in common sense. as a matter of fact, i have a constituent back at home who constantly reminds me of how shallow i am. so i can do nothing but rely on common sense, based on this constituent's feelings about me. but i want to thank the congresswoman again for hosting this special order hour. and i look forward to continue working with you as you address he issues faced by americans ffected by natural disa

speaker, my colleagues, i rise in support of the 21st century air act. this critical f.a.a. re-authorization offers the best possible plan to finally mornedize our antiquated air traffic control system. i recently traveled to ottawa, canada, with congressional colleagues to learn firsthand how canada's national air service provider has been using -- move 12g million aircraft each year since 1996. mr. faso: this model improves air traffic control tech nond -- technology and isn't subject to onerous government procurement rules. it's clear the system works far better than its u.s. counterpart. these reforms would also benefit the environment as the updated technology allows for more direct routes. for instance, in can dark over the last 20 year, has resulted gallons of on fewer fuel used in the last 10 year, twice that amount in the last 20 years this needed change has widespread bipartisan support and it would guarantee consistent funding for modernizing our air traffic safety system. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: frur does the gentleman from pennsylvania

they tried to do it last week in the f.a.a. bill, and we had to send it back because of -- because of joint opposition, both sides of the aisle. let's not go through that again, and i thank our chairman of our banking committee for helping in that regard. third, it's become clear that puerto rico's recovery will be further hindered by its ongoing debt crisis. that crisis, coupled with the devastation from maria, hurricane maria, has led to growing concerns that the island will soon face a liquidity crisis. simply put, the island is running out of money to pay for essential services like first responders, not to mention funds for rebuilding and recovery. the funds we hope to include in the disaster package are critical, but we have to make sure the island has enough cash to start the process, because in fema, local governments often have to lay out the money first and then they get repaid, but puerto rico doesn't have the money to lay out, so we have to deal with that issue to make it effective. with these things in mind, we shou
