- Description:
- The letter acknowledges a complaint about sonic boom tests being conducted in Oklahoma City and states that the tests were promised to be conducted carefully and damage claims would be promptly paid. Civic leaders in Oklahoma City supported the testing in hopes of developing aviation industries. The Federal Aviation Agency has issued a pamphlet on the program in response to public reaction. The letter urges Senator Mike Monroney to halt the tests due to their disturbing nature and potential for causing damages to homes.
