UTILIZATION AND FUTURE OF MAJOR AIRPORTS IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1969 U.S. SENATE, SUBCOMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND COMMERCE OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Washington, D.C. The subcommittee met at 9:30 a.m., pursuant to call, in room 6226, New Senate Office Building, Senator Joseph D. Tydings (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Tydings and Spong. Also present: John T. McEvoy, staff director; James S. Medill, minority counsel; Terence T. Finn, counsel; and Edith B. Moore, assistant chief clerk. The CHAIRMAN. We will convene the Subcommittee on Business and Commerce of the District of Columbia Committee. We begin today a set of hearings on the utilization and the future of major airports in the National Capital region. The hearings are designed to explore five major aspects of aviation policy in those parts of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia which together form the Washington community. The subcommittee will consider: First, the regional nature of the three airports-Friendship, Washington National, and Dulles-must be treated as a system. They are interdependent. Each is part of a whole. Policies affecting one affect the other two. None of the three should be considered in isolation. Nor should two be treated at the expense of one. The three airports must be complementary, not competitive. Second. What is the future role of Washington National? Should it be closed down as some people advocate, or should it be maintained at its present level of activity or substantially enlarged? My own feeling is that this airport serves our community well but that any effort to increase its capacity would throw the system out of balance. Dulles and Friendship are now underused and should receive a major share of the projected air traffic increases. Let me add here that Friendship International Airport, as well as Dulles, is part of the regional air system. The CAB has certified it as an airport of service to the Washington area. It is a fine airport, with a potential to expand considerably, unlike National. Unlike Dulles, Friendship now has a traffic generating capacity of its own. There are a million people in the Washington region, throughout Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties who use Friendship and find its service and location highly desirable. It is my hope that these hearings |
