Re: Monroe Regional Airport's application for funding under the Small Community air Service Development Program for 2014 Dear Secretary Foxx: I am writing to express my strong support for the applications submitted by the Monroe Regional Airport in Louisiana, forfunding underthe Small Community air Service Development Program (SCASDP). The Monroe Regional Airport has submitted this application to help secure low-cost, nonstopjet service to one of more major destinations for Northeastern Louisiana, Southern Arkansas and Western Mississippi. As you know, the Monroe regional Airport Is an important local and regional community economic engine in-Louisiana. Federal funding under the Small Community Air Service Development Program will go a long way in helping expand jet service to more destinations in the United States from the Monroe Regional Airport such as a new route from Monroe to Denver. Once again, I support the Monroe regional airports application under the small community air service development program. I respectfully request yourfull and fair consideration for this proposal, as I am,

Robert N. Amacker, Jr. Mayor
