| | SAN JOSE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RUNWAY DEDICATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Today, as we officially open Runway 30 Right at San Jose International Airport, we are celebrating the first new commercial runway completed this year in the United States. |
 | | The airport’s improvement program, which also calls for the extension of Runway 30 Left, construction of a new passenger terminal, and a major air cargo facility, is financed in part through more than $80 million dollars in grants from the FAA Airport Improvement Program and passenger facility charge revenue. |
 | | And so, it is especially gratifying now to have the pleasure of recognizing San Jose International Airport as the site of the first concrete poured, under my watch as Secretary of Transportation, in response to the demand for increased capacity in our nation’s aviation system. |
