Committee vote against raising the mandatory retirement age. Projecting ahead, assuming the House will accept the Senate version (and that the Senate passes the bill reported out by Committee first), the age of mandatory retirement stays as it is.

Which leaves a pretty significant problem. If a principal barrier - according to opponents of raising the age level - is the ICAO rule, how is anyone who supports raising the mandatory retirement age level rationally expecting progress to be made at ICAO while the United States has not had a Permanent Representative at ICAO with rank of Ambassador since Sullenberger resigned, way back in..... oh, never mind.
