As public concern over drones flying in the skies above New Jersey and other East Coast states has escalated, the White House wants Congress to pass legislation that would give the federal, state and local governments greater authority to address drones that fly in U.S. airspace.
“We do need better authorities to deal with that growing ecosystem of drones in U.S. airspace,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday in an interview on NBC’s “TODAY” show.
Gaps exist in federal, state and local government authorities to deal with drones, Kirby said.
“Congress needs to help us get through this,” he said.
