FAA Budget: Issues Related to the Fiscal Year 1996 Request (Testimony,
03/13/95, GAO/T-RCED/AIMD-95-131).

The Administration is requesting $8.4 billion for Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) programs in fiscal year 1996, a one-percent
increase over last year's appropriation. This testimony focuses on major
programmatic issues affecting congressional consideration of FAA's
fiscal year 1996 budget. GAO discusses (1) the Facilities and Equipment
account, which funds air traffic control modernization; (2) the Airport
Improvement Program account, which funds airport improvement projects;
and (3) the Operations account, which supports FAA's day-to-day
operations and safety oversight functions.
