Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 1765, the Reducing Flight Delays Act:

“Recent disruptions in our air traffic system were avoidable if the Federal Aviation Administration had chosen to use the flexibility it already had while it implemented budget cuts.  The Senate in February rejected a proposal that would have provided the administration with additional flexibility when implementing these cuts, but I support such flexibility. 

“My office has learned to do more with less, and the House has done more with less while remaining open to the American people.  Accordingly, I would encourage agencies like the Federal Aviation Agency to take advantage of this additional flexibility, and join us in doing more with less.”
