In a dramatic announcement, Republican Senator Ted Cruz has said he will block funding to the US government if reforms to improve the safety of military flights are not passed by the end of January. This call comes after a tragic accident in which a commercial airliner collided with an Army helicopter over Washington DC, killing 67 people.
Cruz, along with Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell, called on Congress to remove provisions from a sweeping defense bill that would allow military aircraft to operate without broadcasting precise location. These regulations could roll back the safety measures put in place after the accident.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed hope that legislation proposed by Cruz and Cantwell, known as the ROTOR Act, will be included in a funding package. This legislation would require all aircraft to broadcast their position to increase airspace safety.
The victims’ families and the National Transportation Security Administration have sharply criticized the new provisions in the defense law. They argue that these provisions could weaken safety measures and jeopardize the progress made since the accident.
