                    in the house of representatives

  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, the Smith Reynolds 
Airport--located in North Carolina's Fifth District--is set to be 
designated as North Carolina's first legacy airport.
  Originally named Miller Municipal Field in 1927, the airport was soon 
renamed in 1942 after the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation made a donation 
to the airport.
  Since its inception, the airport has served as an Army Corps facility 
and was the birthplace for Piedmont Airlines, the legacy carrier that 
merged with US Airways.
  The Smith Reynolds airport has been a vital component of the Piedmont 
community. Through this designation, its impact will lead to further 
growth and innovation within North Carolina's aviation sector and will 
serve as a boon to the stat and local economy.
