White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday said President Obama would sign legislation to ease air traffic control furloughs if the bill passes Congress. 

The Senate voted on Thursday to approve legislation to end the furloughs, which were triggered by the budget sequestration. The house was voting on the legislation at the time of this writing.
