         FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION EXTENSION ACT OF 2010

  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of H.R. 4957, which was received 
from the House and is at the desk.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection?
  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Reserving the right to object, let me say that the 
Senator from Oregon has made some very good points, and he is exactly 
right. They are points we agree with on this side of the aisle.
  I do not object.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will report the bill by 
title.
  The bill clerk read as follows:

       A bill (H.R. 4957) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
     1986 to extend the funding and expenditure authority of the 
     Airport and Airway Trust Fund, to amend title 49, United 
     States Code, to extend authorizations for the airport 
     improvement program, and for other purposes.

  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the bill.
  Mr. WYDEN. I ask unanimous consent that the bill be read three times 
and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table, with no 
intervening action or debate, and that any statements be printed in the 
Record.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  The bill (H.R. 4957) was ordered to a third reading, was read the 
third time, and passed.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the 
quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Udall of Colorado). Without objection, it 
is so ordered.
