FAA Deal Reached

From CNN:

Congressional leaders have reached "a bipartisan compromise between the House and the Senate" to fully fund the Federal Aviation Administration, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says.

The deal will "put 74,000 transportation and construction workers back to work," Reid says.

"This agreement does not resolve the important differences that still remain," Reid said in a written statement. "But I believe we should keep Americans working while Congress settles its differences."

U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement:

“This agreement is good news for Pennsylvania jobs as well as travelers across the Nation. It is frustrating that things got to this point in the first place but I am gratified that a bipartisan agreement was reached. Moving forward, I will continue to fight for communities that rely on regional airports and work to ensure that they are not needlessly targeted.

“I hope that this agreement is swiftly passed and signed into law to end the partial shutdown affecting 74,000 workers.”
