U.S. Senate Clears FAA FY2017 Budget
The Senate bill must be hashed out with the House, but has drawn a veto threat.

The U.S. Senate passed a bill on Thursday that would provide $16.4 billion for the FAA in Fiscal Year 2017 but would prohibit use of any of those funds to remove the nation’s air traffic control organization from the FAA. Senate passage of the Fiscal Year 2017 transportation, housing and urban development appropriations bill by an 89-8 vote came one day after a House appropriations subcommittee approved its version of the FAA funding bill.
