![["Miss Olive Cousins wrote a critical letter to U.S. Senator Mike Monroney expressing concerns about the sonic boom project in Oklahoma City. She questioned the necessity of the project, the lack of insurance for property damage, and the impact on residents. She urged Senator Monroney to consider the needs of the \"little\" voters of Oklahoma and not to straddle the fence on this issue. Senator Monroney responded, defending the project and acknowledging the concerns of residents, but also expressing his commitment to bettering Oklahoma and hoping to change Miss Cousins' critical attitude towards him."]](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_0067_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Over Sonic Booms in Oklahoma City")

Senator Monroney expresses concern about the fair treatment of citizens submitting claims for property damages caused by the sonic booms. He suggests that a fair policy should be established to ensure that claims are handled properly. Senator Monroney also discusses the national interest aspects of the Supersonic Transport Development Program and the importance of conducting objective studies to anticipate public reactions to sonic booms.

![["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")
