Scope and Contents

Mr. R. B. Hays of the Lincoln Motel in Oklahoma City is seeking compensation for property damage caused by sonic boom tests conducted by the Federal Aviation Agency. After filing a claim and being denied by the Air Force, Senator Mike Monroney has intervened on his behalf, requesting a reconsideration of the claim and a new inspection of the property. Hays believes the damage to his motel's tile bathrooms was caused by the sonic booms, as evidenced by cracks that suddenly widened and lengthened during the tests. Hays is seeking assistance from Senator Monroney to help him receive compensation for the damages.
