Congratulations, Mr. President
National Air Transportation Association (NATA) president James
K. Coyne congratulated President George W. Bush and those elected
and re-elected to Congress for their hard-fought victories. Coyne
issued the following statement:
"On behalf of NATA and its over 2,000 companies, I would like to
congratulate the President on his re-election as well as those
elected and re-elected to the US Senate and House of
Representatives. This was a long, hard-fought campaign on both
sides, and both President Bush and Senator John Kerry should be
proud of their efforts. The number of Americans participating in
the democratic process by voting in this election is both inspiring
and encouraging. The association looks forward to continuing its
work with the Administration and Congress on air transportation
issues, aviation security policy and tort reform.
"I would also like to take the
opportunity to thank Senator Tom Daschle for his service to South
Dakota, as well as the rest of the nation. Senator Daschle has been
a steadfast friend of the general aviation industry and we will
surely miss his leadership in Washington. NATA looks forward to
working with Senator-elect Thune, who himself has served as a great
advocate for general aviation during his previous time in the House
of Representatives.
NATA eagerly anticipates the opening of the 109th Congress and
will continue to work to build relationships with both new and
current Members of Congress. NATA will continue to remain a strong
and effective voice for aviation businesses in the new
Congress."
