Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act will impact anyone boarding a plane in the United States.

The bill improves runway safety, enhances cybersecurity, and upgrades the all-important air traffic control system. It also works to address staffing shortages facing the airlines, the FAA, and the NTSB.

House Republicans have crafted an FAA authorization bill of substance, one that makes critical improvements in aviation and promotes oversight over the agencies regulating the industry, and we will see even more oversight if my amendment is passed. It requires the Government Accountability Office to issue a report explaining what caused the thousands of flight cancellations around the July Fourth holiday.

Madam Speaker, you won't find many existing diversity and inclusion programs in this legislation, but you will find policies that make the skies safer for all passengers no matter their race or their background.
