Agriculture Secretary Vilsack and Transportation Secretary LaHood to Renew Agreement to Promote Renewable Fuels in the Aviation Industry
WASHINGTON, April 15, 2013— TODAY, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will announce that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Federal Aviation Administration, along with other partners, are extending an agreement to help develop viable renewable fuels for the aviation industry.
