The National Civil Aviation Review Commission was established by Congress to make recommendations on how best to finance and reform the budgeting ofthe Nation’s aviation programs. The Commission’s purpose, in part, is to developa consensus on how much funding is actually needed over several years for development and operation of the Nation’s air traffic control system, the safety and security programs of the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as airport capital development, and how best to secure a dedicated, stable, and adequate source of funding for these programs.
