The letter is a response to Senator Monroney's inquiry about claims of sonic booms generated by Air Force aircraft during FAA test flights in Oklahoma City. The Air Force's procedures for processing and adjudicating sonic boom claims are designed to protect the interests of claimants and the government. A report by Air Force Headquarters personnel concluded that the standard procedures were justly and reasonably applied to the claims arising from the FAA tests. The letter expresses appreciation for Senator Monroney's interest in Air Force matters and provides a fact sheet on the issue.
