FROM www.aopa.org
Congress passes defense authorization with no warbird provision
Bill now goes to President
Update: Dec. 14 ? Congress passed the conference report to accompany the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1438) yesterday. The Senate's 96-2 approval last night came after the House voted to approve the conference report, 382-40, earlier in the day. The bill now goes to the president for signature. House-Senate conferees on S. 1438 reached an agreement Wednesday and removed the "warbird provision" in the final version of the legislation. AOPA worked with the conferees, in particular Chairman Bob Stump of the House Armed Services Committee (R-Ariz.), Senator Max Cleland (D-Ga.), and AOPA member Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) to remove this section that could have resulted in the destruction of vintage military aircraft.
A great Christmas present
