Wide-reaching recommendations from Future Aviation Advisory Committee - more studies and spending

Guaranteeing that the 23 recommendations made last Wednesday by the Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) will not sit on a shelf, US Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, said he would name a full-time point person in his office to oversee their implementation, assigning a timeline to each and reporting back to the committee perhaps as early as mid February 2011. Committee Chair DOT Assistant Security for Aviation and International Affairs Susan Kurland said the committee report would not come out until after the new year.
