FILE - In this Saturday, July 6, 2013 aerial file photo, the wreckage of the Asiana Flight 214 airplane is seen after it crashed at the San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco. According to an investigative report released Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013 the Asiana Airlines captain who crashed the airplane in July told investigators he was "very concerned" about attempting a visual approach because the runway's automatic landing aids were out of service due to construction. The jet crash landed after approaching low and slow in an accident that left three dead and more than 200 injured, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The investigative report was released at the start of a daylong NTSB hearing into the accident. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, joined by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., takes reporters' questions, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013, as House Republicans signaled support for a budget deal worked out yesterday between Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chair Rep. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
