Aerospace Industries Association president and CEO John Douglass warned Congress that government agencies must redouble efforts to develop the nation’s next generation air transportation system (NextGen) or the nation will suffer serious operational–and economic–impacts.

He told the House space and aeronautics subcommittee that the Bush Administration and Congress must ensure that responsibility, accountability and urgency exist among the Joint Planning and Development Office and related agencies to guarantee they properly manage and conduct the full range of integrated NextGen activities.
