currently the f.a.a. relies primarily on number of planements when making their fund determinations under the a.i.p. that disadvantages rural airports like fairchild airport in thigh mayorga district, which serves as a critical component of the state and fema's emergency response plan for the region, but has relatively few inplainments. mr. kilmer: this would help ensure that fairchild and other airports like it are able to secure the funding necessary to maintain their runway and other critical infrastructure so that the resources are available when disaster strikes. this matters to folks in my neck of the woods who live in the shadow of the zone. when the big one hits, the fairchild airport will be essential to deploying emergency supplies, as well as for evacuating people to safety. i'd like to thank chairman shuster and ranking member defazio for their support of this amendment and i urge my colleagues voluntary to vote yes on it. thank you, mr. speaker. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the

the f.a.a. bill in. it is a narrow fix on this and only dealing with the interstate itself. and again, this is a bill we want to provide some sort of uniformity and that's all we are asking, uniformity across state lines and asking for that type of uniformity. and again, the industries, those drivers cross state lines multiple times per day. i would ask that you support the denham-costa amendment. the chair: the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defazio: i yield the gentleman -- the chair: for how long? mr. defazio: 30 seconds. mr. mceachin: this amendment preempts important state level protections to ensure that truck drivers are treated fairly and able to do their job safely. this not only erases breaks but affect all local and state wages with adverse implications from everything from workers' compensation to the minimum wage. these changes would be deeply hurtful and i urge my colleagues to oppose them. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gen

and-- and that's where the f.a.a. k at the safety culture, because the message to all the other allegiant pilots is: "don't ever have an emergency evacuation if you don't see flames in the cockpit." i mean, that's-- what other message could you get? >> kroft: did the f.a.a. investigate? >> alkalay: i have been told that they never questioned the pilot. >> kroft: we decided to question the f.a.a. as far as the f.a.a. is concerned, what's more important: the safety of the passengers, or the assets of the airliner? >> john duncan: certainly the safety of the passengers is what's always important. >> kroft: john duncan is the executive director of flight standards at the federal aviation administration. he oversees the operations, maintenance and airworthiness of all u.s. carriers. that doesn't seem to be the values of allegiant as expressed in this letter of termination. you've seen it, right? >> duncan: i've seen the letter, yes. but just that letter, and-- and nothing else, so i don't know the rest of the story in that

i also asked the f.a.a. if it would be possible to vary the approaches on performance-based so you are not always every day, every hour, every, you know, whatever minute going over exactly the same position. and i think that's also something they should look at. so with that i certainly support this amendment, and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from illinois is recognized. mr. roskam: i want to thank the gentleman from oregon for his support and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from illinois. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. he amendment is agreed to. it is now in order to consider amendment number 17 printed in 650. a of house report 115- for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? mr. denham: mr. speaker, i rise to offer in support. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendmen

the first is the f.a.a. re-authorization act. the first long-term f.a.a. re-authorization since 2012. this legislation was developed over three years of bipartisan and stakeholder negotiations. it will provide long-term stability for our nation's aviation community, continue investments in research and innovation, and make necessary reforms to improve american competitiveness and safety in aviation. i appreciate chairman shuster working with ranking member defazio to ensure that this bill is as bipartisan as possible. i would have preferred that we did more to assist our nation's airport, but this bill reflects the committee's will. airline safety is on all of our minds, especially after the tragedy of southwest flight 1380. moving this bill forward without the poison pill lang wadge we have seen in previous version -- language we have seen in previous versions will go a long way in improving passenger safety, passenger comfort and the entire experience on our nation's airlines. following my work to return the ontario international airport to local control
