An Aviation Daily article Thursday notes (near the end) that there are some changes in store for the Senate Commerce Committee. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), the current chairman, is leaving and will be replaced by Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK). That could result in changes in who chairs the subcommittees, although there was nothing in the article suggesting any changes were forthcoming. Also, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) will become the ranking minority member of the committee, replacing the retiring Ernest Hollings (D-SC).
