H.R. 1669 Introduced By Tennessee's John Duncan
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a resolution
recognizing the 70th anniversary of the National Air Transportation
Association (NATA). House Resolution 1669 highlights the
association's rich history and contributions to improving the
safety of general aviation.
Representative John Duncan (R-TN), a senior member of the House
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee,
Subcommittee on Aviation, introduced the resolution that
acknowledges the association's mission in representing the
legislative, regulatory and business interests of its members and
providing education, services, and benefits to its members to
ensure their long-term economic success.
"The resolution recognizes the foresight and resiliency of the
association founders, William A. Ong and Leslie H. Bowman, NATA's
first two presidents, as well as the important contributions of
George E. Haddaway and John L. Gaylord, who were instrumental in
the organization's formation," stated NATA President James K.
Coyne.
The House Resolution congratulates NATA on its 70 years and
specifically states that the U.S. House of Representatives
"applauds the National Air Transportation Association for creating
programs and resources to enhance the safety of general aviation
operators; and commends the National Air Transportation Association
for being instrumental in bolstering the general aviation industry
during a time of turmoil in the 1940s."
"It is a true honor for the association and its members to be
recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives," stated Coyne. "I
would especially like to thank Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. for
introducing House Resolution 1669. Congressman Duncan has been an
active and steadfast supporter of the association and its
membership, and continues to be an outstanding leader on general
aviation issues in the House of Representatives."
"We are thrilled that Congress has highlighted the important
role NATA plays in the aviation industry, recognizing its members
for their steadfast support in ensuring the growth and durability
of the general aviation community," Coyne concluded. "NATA looks
forward to the next 70 years as it continues to represent and
support the thousands of small businesses that make up the backbone
of our national air transportation system."
