![["Residents of Oklahoma City have been enduring a six-month supersonic test that has caused damage to property and disturbed many citizens. While some support the test for scientific progress and economic benefits, others find the sonic booms to be a public nuisance. The Federal Aviation Agency denies selecting Oklahoma City for the experiment based on inferior construction, and many residents have filed damage claims. The experiment, which ends on August 3, aims to study the effects of supersonic flight and control the magnitude of sonic booms. Despite some opposition, the city hopes to benefit from the growth of the aviation industry and job creation in the future."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0029_thumbnail.jpg "Sonic Boom Controversy in Oklahoma City")

![["The letter is a response to Senator Monroney regarding the claims procedures for property damage in Oklahoma City. The Federal Aviation Agency has streamlined the process to ensure fair treatment for all citizens submitting claims. Qualified structural engineers review damage reports, and adjusters and engineers are not coerced into filing negative reports. The burden of proof is not placed on the property owner, and each claim is adjudicated based on potential sonic boom damage. The Tinker Claims Office reviews and adjudicates each case individually, and in response to suggestions, future denial letters will include the cause of the damage as determined by the engineer."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_4_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_4_0072_thumbnail.jpg "Streamlining Claims Procedures for Property Damage in Oklahoma City: Response to Senator Monroney")

![["The Federal Aviation Agency is conducting a study of the effects of sonic booms on typical structures in the New Mexico desert, as part of the national supersonic transport development program. The study will involve flying aircraft over structures to measure the impact of sonic booms, with the goal of understanding public reaction and potential sleep disturbances. The study will be conducted in two phases, with detailed planning based on the results of the first phase. The U.S. Air Force will be generating the sonic booms, and two contractors will be providing technical support and data collection. A press briefing and press tour of the site are scheduled to provide information and coverage of the study."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0011_thumbnail.jpg "FAA Study of Effects of Sonic Booms on Structures in New Mexico Desert")
