“Lambert-St. Louis Airport and Its Tie to the Region’s Future” With Mr. Richard E. Hrabko, AAEInterim Director ofLambert-St. Louis International Airport
The AIAA St. Louis Section is pleased to feature Mr. Richard Hrabko, interim director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. Mr. Hrabko will be discussing the future of Lambert Airport and its tie to the region’s future. St. Louis has played a significant role in the nation’s aviation history. In recent years the commercial aviation industry has encountered unprecedented challenges. In response, Lambert Airport has continued to maintain the highest priority, safety, while addressing the demand for efficient customer service. Lambert’s performance is a key element for the growth and development of the entire St. Louis economy. Additionally, Lambert plays an integral role in the nation’s aviation sys-tem. An essential component of meeting these challenges is Lambert’s ongoing $1.1 billion expansion project which features a third major runway which will be operational in 2006. Mr. Hrabko succeeded in retired Leonard Griggs as interim director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport until a permanent director could be found. He has been St. Louis County’s director of aviation since 1980 and has served on the Lambert Airport Commission for the past three years.

You are, I’m sure, quite aware of this being a critical time for aero-nautics R&D programs which have endured continual cuts in the budgets of both NASA and DOD during the past several years. This year, as Congress evaluates funding levels and considers authoriza-tion bills, it is imperative that aeronautics research and development be seen as worthy of higher priorities. To advocate for the inclu-sion of more funding for the aeronautics programs at NASA, as one important element, we are initiating a letter writing campaign to inform elected officials of the importance of these programs to the future of America.Please join us in what we are told is the most effective action we can take in affecting this issue. Best would be a letter in your own words; second best a somewhat modified version of the attached; but in any event, at least a signed, reproduced copy of one of the two attached letters advocating increased aeronautics funding for the NASA authorization bill. Please direct such to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the key House and Senate committees listed below:House Committee on ScienceChairman: Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY)2320 Rayburn House Office BuildingWashington, DC 20515Ranking Member: Bart Gordon (D-TN)394 Ford House Office BuildingWashington, DC 20515House Appropriations Subcommittee on Science, State, Justice, Commerce and Related AgenciesChairman: Frank A.

If needed, their names and contact information can be found at www.house.gov (enter your zip code under “Find Your Representative” at the top of the webpage) and www.senate.gov.It will also help, but it isn’t essential, to provide a brief description of your own specific activities in aeronautics research and develop-ment in the appropriate place in the letter.A printable copy of these letters can be found on the AIAA web site.

Washington, DC 20501
Dear Representative ___________ (or Senator)
I am writing to ask that you support restoring the FY 2006
NASA budget for Aeronautics to the level previously approved
by Congress. The Administrations’ proposed budget reduces
the funding by virtually 1/3 and will result in the loss of fund-
ing for several important research efforts such as Rotorcraft and
Hypersonic aircraft. Please support an increase to the previ-
ously approved levels so that US leadership in these important
areas can be preserved. NASA Aeronautics research has, for
decades, contributed significantly to our economy in terms of
jobs and taxes, and has proven itself to be a crucial, if not deci-
sive element in our National Defense. Your support to restore
the aeronautics budget is very important to me. I would appre-
ciate hearing your views on this matter.
Sincerely,

Airbus’ jet transports are outselling Boeing’s. The Coast Guard helicopter fleet is of French design and manufac-ture. The new U.S. President’s “Marine One” fleet is of British and Italian design/development. Regional jet manufacture is dominated by Brazil and Canada. What is the U.S. response? DoD budgets for aeronautics research and technology continue to drop steadily. NASA’s total aeronautics R&D budget is pro-posed to be reduced by 33 percent in FY 06 from 1994-1998 levels; and major programs, like rotorcraft and hypersonic flight research, have been zero’d in NASA’s budget request.These decisions are being made, despite the fact that many challenges currently face air systems science and technology. A recent National Research Council study, for example, found that “unmanned air vehicles, ranging in size from micro air vehicles to high-altitude, long-endurance platforms...require research in materials, structures, and aerodynamics.”Aeronautics research and technology has, for decades, contrib-uted significantly to our economy in jobs and taxes, and has proven itself in every war since WWII to be a crucial, if not decisive element.
Making these same points, the Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry concluded that “the integral role aerospace plays in our economy, our security, our mobility, and our values makes global leadership in aviation and space a national imperative. Given the real and evolving challenges that confront our nation, government must commit to increased and sustained investment and must facilitate pri-vate investment in our national aerospace sector.”Please join in the effort to support aeronautics in the FY 2006 NASA budget and help preserve the leadership our nation has enjoyed in aeronautics since WWII and cannot afford - from economic or defense considerations – to take for granted.
