Senate Passes FAA Reauthorization
The bill has wide support from general aviation groups for its many provisions, but also for the Senate's decision to leave out ATC privatization.

FAA reauthorization returns to the House after the Senate today approved a comprehensive 18-month bill by a 95-3 vote. Passage followed two weeks of debate that had been bogged down by the more than 330 amendments filed for consideration and the threat of a filibuster. The Senate yesterday approved a cloture motion to cut off debate and clear the way for final passage.
