Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reauthorization of the Airport Improvement Program and S. 1491, the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1993: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Aviation of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, September 28, 1993 The subcommittee met at 9:31 a.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Wendell H. Ford (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Samuel E. Whitehorn, senior staff counsel, and Carol J. Carmody, professional staff member; and Alan Maness, minority senior staff counsel. Senator Ford. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today the subcommittee will discuss the legislation I introduced last week, S. 1491, the Reauthorization of the Airport Improvement Program. By now most of you know that S. 1491 is only a 1-year reauthorization. This is certainly not typical of AIP reauthorization bills, but I would argue that the circumstances surrounding the airline industry are also far from typical and demand that we deal with them in a somewhat unconventional manner. The aviation industry in my opinion is at a crossroads, possibly facing changes in the next year that completely reverse longstanding policies. Under the circumstances, it seems to make more sense to me to enact an omnibus aviation bill next year. By then, the new administration will have finished reviewing the recommendations of the National Commission to Ensure a Strong, Competitive Airline Industry and Secretary Pena will have all his team in place. I expect to hold hearings before the subcommittee some time next month. Before I run through the main objectives of this legislation, I would like to make clear for the record that I am not pleased with the appropriations levels in the House transportation appropriations bill. What kind of message are we sending to the industry when we undercut the Airport Improvement Program the minute the airlines are finally posting a profit? I believe it is the wrong message, and I will work to restore the level of funding to the fiscal year 1993 levels.
