I am deeply concerned over these regulations which would inconvenience over 200,000 passengers who use these flights each year. I know from my own experience that there is a tremendous savings in time as a result of direct service. The Minnesota delegation protested this action in a joint delegation letter after the proposed rules appeared in the Federal Register. On March 22 I called a meeting of the Congressional delegations from Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana with the Department of Transportation and the FAA to discuss our objections to the new policy. They assured us that they will consider our objections carefully before making a new policy decision. I appreciate your letter and hope you will continue to keep me posted on any further developments and likewise, I'll do the same. With best wishes. Sincerely, ��, a- J n A. Blatnik, M. C.
