Mrs. Dick Cook wrote a letter expressing concern about the sonic boom studies being conducted in Oklahoma City by the Federal Aviation Agency. She is worried about property damage and health issues caused by the testing. She believes that the program should be stopped immediately and if testing must continue, it should be done on government property. Senator Vanowen acknowledges her concerns and explains the importance of the testing for the development of the aviation industry in Central Oklahoma. He also mentions that the FAA has issued a pamphlet addressing the public's reaction to the program.
