PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE UNLOCKS TRUST FUND AFTER DECADE OF TRYING

President Clinton yesterday signed into law the landmark bill, known as
AIR-21 or H.R. 1000, that charts a course for FAA funding and policy for
the next three years and requires that all money in the Airport and
Airways Trust Fund be spent on aviation projects. "We have finally put
the 'trust' back in the trust fund," said AOPA President Phil Boyer
yesterday. "All of the taxes collected from aviation users can now be
used for air traffic control modernization and airport improvements."
