Abstract:

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.
