the f.a.a. bill in. it is a narrow fix on this and only dealing with the interstate itself. and again, this is a bill we want to provide some sort of uniformity and that's all we are asking, uniformity across state lines and asking for that type of uniformity. and again, the industries, those drivers cross state lines multiple times per day. i would ask that you support the denham-costa amendment. the chair: the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defazio: i yield the gentleman -- the chair: for how long? mr. defazio: 30 seconds. mr. mceachin: this amendment preempts important state level protections to ensure that truck drivers are treated fairly and able to do their job safely. this not only erases breaks but affect all local and state wages with adverse implications from everything from workers' compensation to the minimum wage. these changes would be deeply hurtful and i urge my colleagues to oppose them. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the ge

on the f.a.a. at the behest of chinese battery manufacturers and large, you know, firms in the u.s. who utilize those batteries, an amendment was placed into a previous bill that prohibits the f.a.a. from exercising their judgment about the safety of the carriage of lithium batteries on airplanes. instead, we are bound to an nternational convention, the i ko, who is very responsive in terms of seeking lowest common denominator regulation of anything they can. normally we lead the world. normally we would say, no, get this stuff off aircraft. we've lost two 747's, two 747's. they were cargo aircraft. went down because of lithium batteries. it only takes a very few lithium batteries -- do we have the lithium battery? this is packaging of lithium battery. this is what happens with those lithium batteries if just one overheats and starts a spontaneous reaction. again, catastrophic to the aircraft. now, we are temporarily under n i.k.o. rule that says that they should not be carried in passenger aircraf

the f.a.a.'s on it. >> kroft: but the f.a.a. is not on it, you say. >> alkalay: it does not appear that they are on it when it comes to allegiant, no. >> kroft: most of the public is also unaware that allegiant's c.e.o., maurice gallagher, was one of the founders of valujet, another low-cost carrier with the same business model as allegiant. valujet never recovered from the crash of one of its planes in the everglades in may of 1996. loretta alkalay, like the former n.t.s.b. member, john goglia, says she would never fly allegiant. do you know anybody in the industry that-- that flies allegiant? >> alkalay: no. no. and i know that a lot of people talk about how they don't fly allegiant, so it's very concerning. i know people that worked at the f.a.a. who say they would never fly allegiant. >> kroft: i mean, that's quite an admission. i mean, this just seems like one of those secrets that everybody knows, and then if you have a plane go down, it'll all come out. >> alkalay: you know, if, god forbid, there is an accident, i think t

speaker, this f.a.a. bill is a good step towards bringing more value to the american taxpayer from the f.a.a., and this rule is a good step to making that possible. with the passage of this rule today, we will be able to move directly to that debate. mr. speaker, don't believe the headlines that say congress has packed up its bags and gone home. i hear that day in and day out that folks think this 2018 won't be a particularly productive legislation. i re-- productive legislative session. i reject that. i see the passion that my democratic colleagues see. i see the same passion on our side. now, i am not saying we won't have challenges people focus on the process at hand, but this f.a.a. bill is a good example of the fact that we're still hard at work and there's still much work that we can do together. this bill, mr. speaker, finally delivers on the regulatory reform for the f.a.a. certification process. now, if you have any companies in your district that are involved in f.a.a. regulations in any way, sh

the airline says it complies with all f.a.a. regulations and requirements. allegiant has reported fewer mechanical incidents as the airline is replacing its aging fleet of md-80 aircraft. jeff? >> glor: kris van cleave, thanks. >> glor: coming up next on the cbs news, police say she killed her husband and her look alike, now this grandmother is the now this grandmother is the center of a nationwide hunt. i. that's because they have a shield annuity from brighthouse financial, which allows them to take advantage of growth opportunities in up markets, while maintaining a level of protection in down markets. so they can focus on new things like exotic snacks. talk with your advisor about shield annuities from brighthouse financial- established by metlife. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc, approved,

the f.a.a. three days after the explosion that killed a passenger on a southwest airlines plane, the agency is ordering the inspection of hundreds of engines. transportation correspondent kris van cleave has late details on this. kris? >> reporter: jeff, this is a rare move by the f.a.a., and it affects about 175 planes in the u.s., 340 worldwide. the emergency order is aimed at airlines like southwest that heavily use their aircraft on a daily basis. they will have 20 days to inspect 737s with engines that 0,d approximately 30,000 takeoffs and landings. esr southwest, that would be a jet that could be roughly 12 to 13 years old, as a ballpark, or older. the ultrasonic inspections take ouout four hours per engine to complete. inspectors will look for microscopic cracks and other signs of fatigue that could lead to a fan blade breaking off in flight. now, this order comes as the agency is being criticized for lacking urgency after tuesday's tecident. ntff. >> glor: kris, i think there is going to

f.a.a. does with airline safety? uest: sure, that is probably the most important function has.. among other things, it regulates every single step of the process when it comes to aviation, when it comes to manufacturing, flight standards, and then some of the business practices that airlines undertake. f.a.a. has wide scope when it comes to regulatory authority also it operates the air traffic control system and hat is the backbone of our aviation system, day-to-day, ederal employees are operating movement of the aircraft. the f.a.a. is heavily involved comes to safety. that is the formal part of their mission. ne thing we'll see in this authorization coming up in ongress, how they will address safety smchlt procedures have as repeatedly referenced inefficient, overlapping and there are problems there. that is one thing they will authorization. host: what are some procedures overlapping or redundant? f.a.a. has offices and the gao and the inspector have looked at some processs and they are n

in august, the f.a.a. began work to make those inspections mandatory. wednesday, the agency said that directive will be issued within two weeks. former n.t.s.b. chair mark rosenker: >> i think that there should have been a more urgent order. >> reporter: airlines will have six to 18 months to do inspections. many have already started. and it would seem to me, after we have a fatal accident, you'd think they'd be ready to say something and maybe modify it from six months to, perhaps, 90 days. >> reporter: we were struck by this picture from tuesday's incident. ortice the people there with the oxygen masks covering their thuth, but not their nose. that is actually the wrong way to use that mask. flight attendants tell you in that safety briefing during every flight that you need to cover your nose and mouth in an emergency, or you may not get enough oxygen to stay conscious. peff. >> glor: kris van cleave, thank you. in minnesota today, prosecutors closed the investigation into the death of prince. they couldn't determine who gave the musician pills laced

the f.a.a. is ordering inspections on the same engines. the decision is a year after the manufacturer called for more examinations. >> throughout the rest of the flight there is what i will describe as a fair amount of vibration throughout the airframe of the airplane. >> reporter: tuesday's blast shattering a window on southwest flight 1380, causing a woman to be partially sucked out of the plane. investigators are looking into the how the window loss occurred. southwest said the plane was visually inspected last sunday, and it appeared to be fine. according to the ntsb chief, this metal fatigue would not have been detected by looking at the engine. at least two u.s. airlines announcing inspections of airlines on some of their boeing 737s. southwest says they will inspect their fleet, and united airlines are also checking their jets. >> there needs to be proper inspection mechanisms in place to check for this before there is a catastrophic event. >> reporter: metal fatigue was blamed for an eng

a former prosecutor at the f.a.a. with 30 years of experience says, quote, you know, if god forbid there is an accident, i think there will be a lot of people saying we knew. we knew and we did nothing, end quote. mr. speaker, aliegeant airline tragedy waiting to happen. they should know better as we as a country should know better because the c.e.o. of aliegeant is none other than one tragedy founders of valuejet. remember them? they were the cut rate airline that was apparently cutting corners on safety to boost their position with stockholders. they aren't flying anymore because valuejet flight 592 with 1910 people onboard plunged into the everglades after taking off from miami international airport 22 years ago. what we learned after the fact was that the airline drove up profits, pushed its fleets to the edge, took extra freight in cargo holds to make extra money, and cut corners on the safety of its passengers. you know what happened? people died. we have seen this before. which leads to the very important quest

they'll take up a number of issues, including beginning work on the f.a.a. re-authorization. final votes on that expected tomorrow or friday. live house coverage is here on c-span. as the joint meeting was happening this morning, a case being argued at the supreme court this morning. trump v. hawaii. this is a report from "the hill." they say that a closely divided supreme court today debated whether trump's third travel ban is constitutional. they heard oral arguments in what is considered the biggest case of the term. the oral argument of that has been posted on our website, cspan.org. and whether he also air that tonight at 9:00 here on c-span. 9:00 eastern. until the house comes in, more about that case from today's "washington journal." washington journal continues. los angeles times supreme court reporter joins us on the last day of arguments of the current term of the supreme court. set to be heard, trump versus hawaii. david savage, is there any reason why the court save this until the last day? >> it is a big deal. this case has gone through a series of cycles. this

the f.a.a. response times is the f.a.r. response sometimes. but i will find out. >> president cleaveland: on the incidents by call type, i notice you had 2,081 medical incidents that were called i guess last month. that's quite a few. is that primarily your ems 911 calls? >> ma -- what page are you looking at? >> president cleaveland: after your last tab. you have got a couple of pages here talking about activities summary report and then incidents by call type. what's always curious to me is the medical incidents, 2,000 of them and that's 16% of all your calls. what was the primary cause of those medical incidents? heart attacks? what? >> the incidents by call type, predominantly what we get is just medical incidents. that's when the reporting party either they don't make it clear to the call taker or the call taker puts it in to get it expedited. when we get on scene, they know what the call is. they don't necessarily transfer that back and then they change it to that. just because the call type comes in as this type, that's not necessarily
