Following the dedication to Armstrong, Bolen introduced U.S. Representative John Mica (R-7-FL), the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, which is one of the largest congressional panels in the U.S. House of Representatives. During the Opening General Session, Mica lamented that more of his colleagues "don't understand business aviation is one of the great engines of our economy and of a free enterprise system." He, along with Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS), cited the importance of passing a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill that supported NextGen and imposed no user fees on general aviation, as well as maintaining accelerated depreciation and ensuring that environmental and security regulations are sensible.
