| NATA Congratulates LaHood On Senate Confirmation As DOT Secretary |
|
| Retired GOP Member of the U.S. House of Representatives Ray LaHood (R-IL) was confirmed earlier this month by the U.S. Senate as the next secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
LaHood, a moderate Republican, appeared before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and discussed President Obama’s vision for our nation’s transportation system. LaHood highlighted ways in which the department will distinguish itself from its predecessor. He also said he would select a Federal Aviation Administration administrator who will resolve a stalemate between the agency and the air traffic controllers union over labor costs.
“President Obama has made an excellent choice in selecting Representative LaHood as the next secretary of transportation,” NATA President James K. Coyne stated. | |

| NATA Congratulates DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano |
|
| NATA President James K. Coyne congratulated incoming Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on her confirmation earlier this month by the U.S. Senate. Napolitano is the first woman to serve as secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Elected in 2002 and then re-elected in 2006 as governor of Arizona, Napolitano was nominated by President Obama on December 1, 2008, to serve as secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after serving on the Obama-Biden Transition Project. Napolitano has an impressive resume, serving as U.S. Attorney, state attorney general and governor in immediate succession.
Commenting on Secretary Napolitano’s confirmation, Coyne stated, “I congratulate Secretary Napolitano on being confirmed by the Senate and look forward to working with her on critical issues facing general and commercial aviation, including the Large Aircraft Security Program, the Certified Cargo Screening Program and other aviation security matters.”
“NATA’s members play a critical role in this nation’s air transportation system,” Coyne concluded. “We welcome the opportunity to work with the new Secretary and her staff in developing security protocol that are appropriate and risk-based while ensuring that the economic impact on the aviation businesses implementing these changes is balanced.”
One of Secretary Napolitano’s first acts was to issue five action directives that essentially require a department-wide review of all its activities. Below is an excerpt of what is required of the Transportation Security Administration:
- Transportation security. TSA is directed to provide a review to the Secretary of the current strategies, plans and programs for security of the air, surface, and maritime transportation sector, to include a side by side comparison of the threat environment, resources and personnel devoted to each transportation sector. TSA shall coordinate, as necessary, with all pertinent components and offices in DHS, as well as with all relevant outside bodies and advisory councils. An oral report is due Jan. 28.
