This statement before Congress by Gerald L. Dillingham, Associate Director,

Transportation Issues, Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division,

General Accounting Office (GAO) assesses the recommendations contained in the

recently released report of the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and

Security. The statement focuses on the implementation issues relating to three

areas addressed by the Commission: aviation safety, air traffic control

modernization, and aviation security. In the view of the GAO, as FAA tries to

fundamentally reinvent itself as the Commission contemplates through some of

its recommendations, FAA and the aviation industry will be challenged in three

areas: (1) FAA's organizational culture and resource management, (2) FAA's

partnerships with the airline industry, and (3) the costs of and sources of

funding to implement the recommendations. 13p.
