WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Commerce

Committee Chair Ted Cruz said on Tuesday he will propose broad

air safety legislation after a collision between an Army

helicopter and an American Airlines ( AAL ) regional jet in

January near Reagan Washington National Airport that killed 67

people.

The legislation would require the use of ADS-B, an advanced

aircraft-tracking technology, by U.S. Army helicopters near

civilian planes, mandate a review of helicopter routes across

the country and require the Army inspector general to review

"systemic breakdowns" that may have contributed to the fatal

collision, Cruz said.
