... Without ~eaclership, effective strategic planning and subsequent R&D implementation, aeronautics technology and jobs could quickly move to other nations, adversely affecting employment opportunities, trade balances, national security, and the efficiency of our transportation system. Those in attendance at the workshop also agreed that global competitiveness can only be maintained through a strong government, inclustry, and academia partnership.
