20th Consecutive FAA Extension Introduced

The House introduced the 20^th short-term extension of the Federal Aviation Administration authorization.  The legislation, H.R. 2279, must be considered by the House by tomorrow afternoon because the House is not in session next week and the current extension expires June 30, 2011.  This extension would extend Airport and Airway Trust Fund taxes and Airport Improvement Program contract authority through July 22, 2011.  This latest extension will give the House and Senate Committees additional time to negotiate on their unresolved issues.
