GA groups generally welcomed the Senate confirmation of Judge Michael Chertoff to be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, replacing Tom Ridge, who resigned. But his positions on general aviation are still unknown.

Commenting on Chertoff’s confirmation to head the DHS, Bolen said, “We look forward to having an opportunity to familiarize Mr. Chertoff with the priorities of the business aviation community and to working with him to develop policies that protect America’s aviation security interests, while recognizing economic realities and the need to protect personal freedoms.”
