Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.
Henry J. Kaiser Unfortunately, the same problems keep coming back year after year. So it is with the Aviation reauthorization and a number of other issues that I am working on here in Washington. As I write this column, the latest short-term reauthorization has expired and Congress is on recess until after Labor Day. However, much of what gets done on legislation is done by staff and during lengthy negotiation and strategy meetings between members. I believe that when Congress comes back in September, they will move to pass another extension of the existing authorization or they will reach a consensus on a long-term authorization.
