    Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers 1314 Longworth House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Representative McMorris Rodgers: I strongly urge you to oppose the 21st Century Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization Act (H.R. 2997; the “21st Century AIRR Act”). The privatization of our nation’s air traffic control (“ATC”) system that this legislation contemplates would be detrimental to the Spokane Airport and our region. I am deeply concerned that the 21st Century AIRR Act’s proposed changes to ATC functions would limit oversight of our nation’s aviation system. In Spokane, congressional action and oversight has helped to preserve essential aviation functions such as the Felts Field contract tower, contract weather observers, the third shift at the SIA tower, and by supporting the missions flown by the U.S. Air Force out of Fairchild Air Force Base. Congressional oversight is crucial to ensuring the public interest is protected. I believe there is a significant risk that an independent ATC entity substantially controlled by the major airlines would act to benefit those very airlines by prioritizing operations and investment at their large hub airports. This major shift would be to the detriment of air service access at other commercial service and general aviation airports in this country, including Spokane International Airport. The FAA reauthorization legislation currently pending in the Senate, which does not include the ATC privatization proposal, represents a more reasonable path forward. I would greatly appreciate your active support in advancing legislation that more closely resembles the Senate bill and ensures that ATC privatization provisions similar to the provisions of the 21st Century AIRR Act do not become law. Thank you for your strong support of Spokane Airports. Please let me know how I can help. Sincerely, Ben Stuckart

    1314 Longworth House Office Building
    Washington, D.C. 20515

    Dear Representative McMorris Rodgers:

    I strongly urge you to oppose the 21st Century Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization
    Act (H.R. 2997; the 21st Century AIRR Act). The privatization of our nations air traffic control
    (ATC) system that this legislation contemplates would be detrimental to the Spokane Airport
    and our region.

    I am deeply concerned that the 21st Century AIRR Acts proposed changes to ATC functions
    would limit oversight of our nations aviation system. In Spokane, congressional action and
    oversight has helped to preserve essential aviation functions such as the Felts Field contract
    tower, contract weather observers, the third shift at the SIA tower, and by supporting the
    missions flown by the U.S. Air Force out of Fairchild Air Force Base. Congressional oversight is
    crucial to ensuring the public interest is protected.

    I believe there is a significant risk that an independent ATC entity substantially controlled by the
    major airlines would act to benefit those very airlines by prioritizing operations and investment at
    their large hub airports. This major shift would be to the detriment of air service access at other
    commercial service and general aviation airports in this country, including Spokane International
    Airport.

    The FAA reauthorization legislation currently pending in the Senate, which does not include the
    ATC privatization proposal, represents a more reasonable path forward. I would greatly
    appreciate your active support in advancing legislation that more closely resembles the Senate
    bill and ensures that ATC privatization provisions similar to the provisions of the 21st Century
    AIRR Act do not become law.

    Thank you for your strong support of Spokane Airports. Please let me know how I can help.
