The letter acknowledges Mr. Audette's concerns about the sonic boom tests being conducted in Oklahoma City by the Federal Aviation Agency. The tests were promised to be conducted carefully and with attention to complaints and damage claims. Civic leaders in Oklahoma City supported the testing as it could benefit the development of aviation industries in the area. The FAA has issued a pamphlet addressing public concerns about the program. Mr. Audette expresses his opposition to the tests as an invasion of his rights and a wasteful use of taxpayer money, and threatens to voice his concerns at the polls if necessary.
