They explain that the tests were extensively covered in the media and that the St. Louis tests did not result in public opposition. The agency states that the Oklahoma City tests will continue as planned and that they are working on finding solutions to reduce sonic boom effects. They assure the citizen that they will change methods if necessary."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_5_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_5_0028_thumbnail.jpg "Concerned Citizens Opposing Supersonic Tests in Oklahoma City")
