The Federal Aviation Administration re-authorization bill stalled in the Senate when Republicans voted “nearly unanimously” against ending debate and moving to an up-or-down vote on the proposed legislation. There was a bill that funded the FAA before the Senate but Republicans prevented a full vote from happening. So it seems as though the Senate Democratic leadership will offer a band-aid to fund FAA at previous levels until 2009.
The U.S. Senate this week brought the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill to the floor. The Hill newspaper and UPI newswire had good overview stories on the bill and the House language that addresses the FedEx special interest clause on Railway Labor Act application.
As of May 2, there are still tax provisions - unrelated to the FedEx issue or FAA - that were added as amendments that have clogged up consideration of the reauthorization bill. Senate Majority Leader Reid will allow for the weekend to see if these tax provisions can be resolved. Senator Reid scheduled a cloture vote for Tuesday. But as with everything else in the Senate, that vote can be postponed.
