           HELPING THE AVIATION INDUSTRY TO GROW AND FLOURISH

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, each time I meet with officials from the 
Nashville International Airport, which I have the honor of representing 
in Congress, topics consistently include workforce shortages and 
recruitment issues.
  That is why I rise today in support of H.R. 3935, the Securing Growth 
and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act. This legislation will 
streamline Federal Aviation Administration operations, help grow the 
aviation workforce, invest in airport infrastructure, and improve the 
flying experience for millions of Americans. It will improve the 
passenger experience by making key improvements to the air traffic 
control system.
  The aviation industry supports 11 million jobs. This bill aims to 
ensure it continues to grow and flourish for years to come. It supports 
programs that will attract more pilots, mechanics, and assembly 
workers. It also helps ensure those folks are supported and that FAA 
rules and regulations aren't getting in the way of innovation, 
competition, or employee retention.
