On September 24, by a vote of 69 to 27, the Senate agreed a motion by Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) to table (kill) Sen. Robert Torricelli's (D.-N.J.) amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Bill (S 2279) that would have re-established the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Noise Abatement and Control and commissioned an EPA study on airport noise.

"I do so in recognition of the reality of life of hundreds of thousands of people that I represent-who, by the chance of the place of their birth or where they choose to live-have a daily encounter with the rising problem of airplane noise in our country Torricelli said.
