Statement by AIA President and CEO Marion Blakey Regarding Defense Trade Treaties
Written by thomas · Filed Under Aeronautics NewsSeptember 19, 2008
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — We are very
disappointed that Congress has deferred approval of the U.S.-UK and
U.S.-Australian Defense Trade Cooperation Treaties. We had been optimistic
that they would be approved and signed by the president this session,
despite the press of last minute business facing the Senate. Even with this
setback, we are encouraged by progress this year in export control
modernization. The administration’s package of proposals released in
January, along with the rule clarifying export control treatment for civil
aircraft components in August, are significant steps forward in achieving a
system that is predictable, efficient and transparent. It is critical to
our nation’s security and economic prosperity to continue with
modernization efforts in the next administration and Congress, to include
passage and implementing these treaties.
Founded in 1919, the Aerospace Industries Association represents the
nation’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of civil, military, and
business aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, space systems,
aircraft engines, materiel, and related components, equipment services, and
information technology.
