Calls to House Republicans on the T&I Committee Needed
AAAE/ACI-NA
Todd and Joel just met with Representative Don Young, Chairman of the
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and pushed for
airport economic relief elements in the security bill. Chairman Young
expressed his interest in trying to provide economic relief on the
federally mandated security requirements.
We have learned that the Republicans on the House T&I Committee will
meet at 1 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, October 3) to discuss pending
aviation security legislation. Currently, most of that discussion is
likely to focus on the issue of whether or not to federalize screeners.
We need you, since you have a Republican member from your state on the
Committee, to CALL that office and urge the Committee to discuss the
need for airport relief provisions in this package as well. Phone
numbers are listed below.
Specifically, please ask your member to:
*urge the Committee leadership to provide reimbursement for the FAA
mandated requirement of increased law enforcement officer presence at
airports
*provide AIP and PFC flexibility to cover not only increased security
requirements but also temporary debt service on airport bonds
*provide war-risk insurance coverage for airports (airport war-risk
policies have been cancelled effective October 1 and the Committee
should adopt a similar fix to the airports as Congress provided for the
airlines) and
*take action to create a liquidity pool for airports that would allow
for debt service payments, loans or grants and press for advanced
refunding of airport bonds which would allow airports to take advantage
of lower interest rates.
We will provide more details on the meeting with Chairman Young in a
future Airport Alert but we need you to start making calls. Thanks for
your help!
