"Gentlemen, the Army maintains sets of prepositioned stocks of combat support vehicles for contingency use."

"how much longer can we wait to fully embrace NextGen technologies, both in terms of safety and handling the air traffic volume"

"transforming our Nation's current air traffic control system is absolutely critical if we are to improve safety and plan for the anticipated growth in the amount of flights"

"to make NextGen a reality is going to take a considerable amount of time and money, both from the Federal Government and from the users"
