HR 8703 United States House · 119th Congress

To designate the facility of the Federal Aviation Administration located at Yakima Air Terminal in Yakima, Washington, as the "Roy A. Rutherford Air Traffic Control Tower".

This bill designates the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic control tower at Yakima Air Terminal in Yakima, Washington, as the "Roy A. Rutherford Air Traffic Control Tower." It directly affects the FAA facility by officially naming it in honor of Roy A. Rutherford and ensuring that all future legal and official records refer to it by this new name. The legislation does not change how the tower operates or who works there, but rather formalizes its name to recognize its historical significance.
