A flight with seven Texas congressmen on board had to make an emergency landing. According to AP [1], the congressmen were on their way to D.C. to sign an aviation safety bill.

According to Air Cargo World [2], the bill addresses "poor oversight and a cozy relationship with airlines" and requires the FAA to rotate inspectors and prohibits safety inspectors leaving the FAA from working with airlines for two years.

I wonder if the Representatives, including Ron Paul, were previously for this bill or against it, and how they feel about it now?
