UPI reports that Congress agreed today to temporarily restore funding for the FAA until September.

Transportation Secretary Raymond LaHood voiced a loud plea to Congress earlier, requesting they return from their five-week vacations, to put FAA employees back to work. Although LaHood will probably hear loud objections from Congressmen for being called to action, he's a man that is looking out for the best interest of the nation and the American working class. Job well done Mr. LaHood!
