Enclosed please find the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) first submission,
which responds to DOT Document Request No.l. This first group of documents
partially addresses item numbers 1, 5 and 6, and fully responds to item number 4 on the
list. At the May 19 meeting in DOT's Deputy General Counsel office, there was
discussion about much of the FAA security responsibilities concerning hijacked
airliners transferring to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), when the
organization was established - specifically item numbers 1 and 3. This information has
to be obtained from them. Also, the FAA's response to the Joint Inquiry, item number
8, will be provided by TSA.
Sincerely,
Shirley S. Miller
Senior Advisor
