WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) – co-chairs of the Senate Aerospace Caucus – introduced the Aeronautics Innovation Act (S. 2977) to help boost innovation, research and development in the aeronautics industry. The bill would provide a five-year funding commitment to advance innovation and supplement research in the field.
In 2016, the U.S. aerospace and defense industry produced more than 2.4 million jobs and generated more than $872 billion in revenue. However, without the proper strategy and investment, the U.S. risks falling behind other industrialized nations in developing and advancing the next generation of aircraft. Forecasts estimate that the world’s demand for passenger aircraft fleet above 100 seats will double over the next 20 years, generating new plane orders between 35,000 and 40,000 worth more than $5 trillion by 2035.
“The future of our aerospace industry depends on our investment in research, testing and manufacturing,” said Sen. Moran. “Kansas has demonstrated the significant impact a commitment to forward-thinking can have, and continues to play a prominent role in the national aerospace industry. Across the country, the industry is poised to make groundbreaking discoveries, perfect new technology and build better and more efficient aircraft. The investment that can be made by passing this legislation will make certain that our successes can continue into the next generation.”
“In order for the U.S. to boost its competitive edge in aeronautics, Congress must enact policies that invest in long-term research and development,” said Sen. Warner. “With countries across the globe looking to profit from record demand in the coming years for commercial aircraft, competition is fierce to lead the way in developing next-generation technology. This bill lays out a blueprint for how the U.S. can lead the world in a new age of manufacturing, where we can build the safest, quietest, most-fuel efficient and environmentally friendly planes available. Virginia is home to a thriving aerospace industry with leading federal facilities such as NASA Langley, and this bill will continue to support the nation’s next-generation capabilities in this important industry.”
“We applaud Senators Warner and Moran, the Senate Aerospace Caucus Co-Chairs, for championing the Aeronautics Innovation Act, which will provide continuity and budget stability for aeronautics research,” said Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Eric Fanning. “American industry partners are the leaders of innovation and need to maintain our competitive edge. If enacted, this legislation will boost our economy and protect our national security, ensuring American technological superiority in air and space.”
“We applaud Senators Moran and Warner for introducing this bill, which supports critical innovations and recognizes the importance of aviation manufacturing in the U.S., an industry that creates over 500,000 jobs and produces over $342 billion in economic activity,” said General Aviation Manufacturers Association President and CEO Pete Bunce. “This legislation will support research in new sectors of the industry, including electric propulsion, simplified air vehicle operation and increased vertical takeoffs and landings, as well as research efforts on unmanned aircraft systems and supersonic flight. These rapidly developing initiatives will allow for safer and more efficient aviation products, provide more high-quality engineering and manufacturing jobs, further contribute to the economy and keep the U.S. competitive in the global aviation market.”
“With recent advances in science and engineering, there are many emerging technologies that will accelerate the development of aerospace vehicle performance during the next decade,” said National Institute for Aviation Research Executive Director John Tomblin. “The investments outlined in the Aeronautics Innovation Act ensure that the strategic integration of these technologies will provide for the next major gains in vehicle performance and provide assurance of the US competitive advantage in the aerospace industry.”
“We applaud Sen. Moran and Sen. Warner for their leadership supporting efforts of the aerospace industry to design, industrialize and certify the next generation of aircraft,” said Spirit AeroSystems President and CEO Tom Gentile. “This aligns with Spirit’s strategy to provide commercial and defense customers with innovative, cutting-edge composite designs and manufacturing processes. We look forward to seeing this bill pass Congress to establish the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Program.”
“The National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) is excited to support this important legislative initiative, which will ensure continued U.S. leadership in aeronautics amid increased worldwide competition and investments by other governments,” said National Institute of Aerospace President and Executive Director Dr. Douglas O. Stanley. “Aeronautics is a critical industry for our economy and national defense and represents a significant portion of our nation’s exports. The Aeronautics Innovation Act will not only increase our investments in aeronautics research but will also re-focus them on critical innovative growth areas such as: unmanned aerial systems, autonomy, urban air mobility, composite materials, as well as flight test vehicles to demonstrate these technologies so U.S. companies can then take advantage of them.”
The Senate bill is also endorsed by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Small UAV Coalition, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), Spirit AeroSystems and the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) at Wichita State University.
Key provisions of the Aeronautics Innovation Act include:
- Authorizing robust funding levels for NASA’s Aeronautics directorate over the next five years.
- Ensuring sustained Congressional support for the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate’s (ARMD) Strategic Implementation Plan, a forward looking strategy that supports the future needs of aviation communities.
- Building on the success of NASA’s Advanced Composites Consortium to enhance public-private collaboration on transformative aeronautics research necessary to maintaining competitive advantages in aircraft manufacturing.
- Establishing a national policy for aeronautics research that will maintain U.S. superiority in air capabilities and aviation industrial leadership.
- Establishing a new series of experimental plane, or “X-Plane,” programs rooted in ARMD’s strategic plan that will restore NASA’s capacity to see legacy priority initiatives through to completion and achieve national economic and security objectives.
- Directing NASA’s continuing support of unmanned aircraft system development, particularly unmanned traffic management and on-demand mobility technologies.
- Creating the 21st Century Aeronautics Research Capabilities Initiative, a program designed to modernize NASA’s aeronautics facilities, such as wind tunnels and modeling & simulation capabilities.
This is the companion bill to bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Steve Knight (R-Calif.), Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), Bobby Scott (D-Va.) and others in the House of Representatives.

Sens. Moran, Wicker & Hassan Introduce ‘MAP Broadband Act’ to Address Wireless Coverage Map Gaps
May 24 2018
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) today introduced S. 2955, the “Mobile Accuracy and Precision Broadband Act” (MAP Broadband Act). If enacted, the bill would help improve the accuracy of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mobile broadband coverage map and ensure that federal resources are targeted to unserved communities that do not have access to reliable mobile broadband service.
“Bridging the Digital Divide and deploying high-speed internet to rural communities continues to be a top priority for me and for my colleagues representing rural America,” said Senator Moran. “However, effective and efficient deployment of federal resources like the FCC’s Mobility Fund is completely reliant upon the accuracy of the data collected. This bill seeks to improve the map’s accuracy by bolstering the challenge process in an effort to better target areas that lack quality broadband services – especially rural areas – and make certain the economic competitiveness needs of all Kansans are addressed.”
“The FCC’s seriously-flawed mobile coverage map threatens to exclude many rural communities from much-needed wireless broadband support,” Senator Wicker said. “The FCC should address Americans’ concerns and fix this inaccurate map. We need to ensure that the 23 million rural Americans who currently lack broadband service will be first in line to receive support through the Mobility Fund program.”
“Ensuring that all Granite Staters have access to broadband is critical to the success of our people and businesses in the 21st century economy,” Senator Hassan said. “Unfortunately, the FCC’s coverage maps, which are used to prioritize broadband expansion efforts, are inaccurate for New Hampshire, and many rural areas. This bipartisan bill will improve the process by which Granite Staters can help identify errors in the FCC’s maps and help ensure that New Hampshire is appropriately represented in broadband expansion efforts."
The legislation would address problems with the FCC’s Mobility Fund Phase II (MF-II) presumptive eligibility maps. The map misrepresents the existence of 4G LTE wireless broadband service in many areas based on on-the-ground experience. If left uncorrected, this map would exclude many areas that lack sufficient wireless broadband access from being eligible for MF-II funding, which is expected to be $4.53 billion over 10 years.
The legislation would also address concerns with the FCC’s challenge process for the presumptive eligibility map. The FCC has established a process whereby eligible entities, including state, local, and tribal governments, as well as wireless providers, can challenge and verify the FCC’s initial assessment. However, the time frame for the challenge process does not provide enough time for entities lacking sufficient personnel and resources to correct significant flaws in the current map.
Specifically, the “MAP Broadband Act” would require the FCC to:
- Extend the challenge process window by 90 days to ensure that challengers with limited resources and personnel have enough time to challenge the map;
- Disclose the eligible handsets (i.e. phones) that each mobile wireless service provider has approved for challengers to use in the challenge process;
- Provide monthly updates on the number of entities that the Commission has approved to participate in the challenge process as challengers, and the percentage of the total geographic areas initially determined to be ineligible for MF-II support that have been challenged under the challenge process; and
- Provide annual updates on the expansion of mobile wireless service through the MF-II program.

Sen. Moran, Colleagues Urge Administration Against Take-It or Leave-It Strategy on NAFTA
May 23 2018
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) joined a group of 30 colleagues in sending a letter to United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer urging the administration to work closely with members of Congress to make certain a renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has the congressional support necessary to be enacted into law as negotiations on the agreement near conclusion.
“As you near the conclusion of NAFTA negotiations, we urge you to closely consider the parameters and negotiating objectives outlined in TPA and work closely with members of Congress from both parties to ensure that any agreement has the broad support necessary to be enacted into law,” the senators wrote. “In our view, a take-it or leave-it strategy could have negative unintended effects that jeopardize American jobs and economic growth. When discussing NAFTA modernization legislation with Congress, we ask the Administration employ a strategy that emphasizes collaboration, rather than conflict.”
Co-signatories include Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), John Boozman (R-Ariz.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Crapo (R-Ind.), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.).
Text of the letter is below and here.
The Honorable Robert E. Lighthizer
United States Trade Representative
600 17th Street N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20508
Dear Ambassador Lighthizer:
Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into force in 1994, our economy has diversified and transformed through technological advances and growing industrial capabilities. To meet the needs of today’s North American economy, we agree that NAFTA should be modernized. We applaud the Administration’s ongoing efforts to update NAFTA and offer any support or assistance needed to reach an agreement that strengthens the American economy. As negotiations near conclusion, we will also take this opportunity to highlight the consultative and procedural requirements for fast-track congressional consideration and approval of a free trade agreement (FTA) set forth in The Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015 (TPA).
As you know, TPA helps ensure that the executive branch will consider congressional input and priorities before concluding the negotiation of a FTA. Specifically, these requirements include that the Administration meet upon request with any Member of Congress regarding negotiating objectives, consult closely with the Senate Committee on Finance and House Committee on Ways and Means, and keep fully apprised any designated congressional advisers. As a result of these consultative requirements, and other provisions set forth in statute, TPA also provides for expedited congressional consideration of negotiated FTAs, allowing for simple majority votes in both Houses of Congress without the consideration of any amendments. However, we are concerned that the necessary congressional support under TPA could be endangered if provisions counter to congressional priorities and objectives set forth in TPA are included in an updated NAFTA agreement. As you near the conclusion of NAFTA negotiations, we urge you to closely consider the parameters and negotiating objectives outlined in TPA and work closely with Members of Congress from both parties to ensure that any agreement has the broad support necessary to be enacted into law.
We are concerned about recent media reports suggesting that you may be considering an ultimatum strategy to pressure Congress into accepting an updated NAFTA, including through threats to withdraw from the original agreement. In the past, you have suggested that your goal is to achieve overwhelming bipartisan support for a modernized NAFTA. We believe this goal is only achievable through a strategy to constructively engage Members of Congress as required by TPA and without attempting to force a choice between negative outcomes. In our view, a take-it or leave-it strategy could have negative unintended effects that jeopardize American jobs and economic growth. When discussing NAFTA modernization legislation with Congress, we ask the Administration employ a strategy that emphasizes collaboration, rather than conflict.
We thank you for your tireless efforts to improve NAFTA and look forward to continuing our work to strengthen America’s economy through free and fair trade.

Sen. Moran Questions Army Secretary, Chief of Staff in Hearing to Examine Army’s FY19 Budget Request
May 16 2018
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) questioned Secretary of the Army Mark Esper and Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley in a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing yesterday to review the Army’s FY2019 budget request and justification for the Army. Sen. Moran drew attention to the Army’s stationing process and emphasized the importance of quality of life factors in local communities to the Army leaders.
“As we know, the Army recruits soldiers, but retains families,” said Sen. Moran. “The Army’s stationing process has a long-term impact on the health of the Army, taxpayers, soldiers and families stationed at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth and Kansans living in surrounding communities. I’m concerned the Army’s current process is not comprehensive, transparent or objective. I fear the Army’s analysis is prioritizing options that are fast and cheap in the near-term to the detriment of long-term benefits and cost savings. I sought Sec. Esper’s commitment to consider the total lifecycle cost of a stationing decision, and asked Gen. Milley to closely examine Army’s selective interpretation of home-station training space in the analysis, as well. The total lifecycle cost of a stationing decision impacts energy and utility expenses, local construction costs, cost of living and housing allowances for soldiers and families and impacts operating costs for the entire installation – I am confident the Army will receive a return on investment with a stationing selection in Kansas.”
“The quality of life at Kansas installations offers soldiers and their families outstanding lifelong experiences and should be a factor when the Army makes long-term decisions which will impact military recruitment and retention decades from now,” continued Sen. Moran. “I was pleased to hear the Army leaders commit to studying the long-term fiscal impacts of stationing decisions and to increase the transparency of the Army’s process. I look forward to my questions being answered by the end of the week.”
Watch the full exchange here.
Item to Note:
- Last month, Sen. Moran led the Kansas congressional delegation in writing to Sec. Esper and Chief of Staff Milley to emphasize the value Fort Riley offers the Army as it considers force structure decisions expected this summer.
