Byron Dorgan: “It is bipartisan, a very significant effort to increase international tourism in our country.”

I spoke on the floor of the Senate a number of times about general aviation and its importance to this country.

We have now reached the tipping point that requires, in my judgment, action by Congress.

I spent much of my time as Chairman of this committee focused on increasing funding for the IHS and trying to force some systemic changes in the bureaucracy that plagues that agency.

I have no interest in injuring business aviation, general aviation, or small airports.
