NTSB chairman Jim Burnett calls for reducing flights in busy pockets this summer to bridge the gap between air traffic and control capacity. FAA head Engen disputes the claim, defending the system as safe and challenging Burnett to seek White House action if restricting air commerce is desired. Burnett has criticized FAA safety leadership, citing O Hare as an example.

President Threatens Trade Veto in House Over Gephardt Plan
President threatens a veto if the Gephardt amendment is adopted as the House debates a major trade bill. The measure would require surpluses with the United States to be cut by 10 percent annually or face retaliation. Japan posted a $59 billion surplus with the U.S. last year, a key factor in the push for tougher trade laws.
