North American Airlines Delay Tied to White House Contacts

He cited letters from Adams to Chotiner showing efforts to delay an order revoking operating authority. Schwartz noted possible influence but offered no direct proof of a White House clique pressuring agencies. The testimony follows prior Florida and Miami license allegations involving Gordon Moore and FCC influence.
