         REAUTHORIZATION OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Madam Speaker, after a canceled 7 a.m. flight and not 
getting standby on a 9:30 flight, I am back in D.C. this afternoon to 
encourage support for the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in 
American Aviation Act, otherwise known as H.R. 3935.
  This bill invests in critical airport infrastructure, encourages 
innovation, and improves efficiency through restructuring the FAA.
  I also want to encourage my colleagues to support my amendment, H.R. 
1818, which expands the qualified tuition program, otherwise known as 
the 529 plan, to include aviation mechanic and commercial pilot 
courses. This is a long-term solution for the aviation industry. It has 
137 cosponsors and tons of aviation industry and labor group support.
