and ethics compliance.
"Thanks to the support of the President and Secretary Mineta,
I’m pleased to have someone of Andy’s high caliber join
the FAA team," said Administrator Blakey. "His industry and private
sector experience will be a valuable asset as we chart a course for
aviation’s next century."
Steinberg has almost two decades of legal and aviation industry
