WASHINGTON, D.C. (WIVB) - White House Statement:
The President commends the House and the Senate for passing critical aviation safety measures as part of the FAA reauthorization extension.
The families of Continental Flight 3407 have never stopped pushing for these safety improvements to honor their loved ones who died in February, 2009.
The President told the family members two months ago that he would take sensible steps to pursue important safety reforms and he is pleased Congress has acted to ensure that we will use the best available evidence to make our aviation system as safe as possible for the traveling public.
The President plans to sign the FAA reauthorization into law Friday.
>> The House passed the bill Thursday, just before midnight.
>> The Senate passed the bill late Friday morning.
