The Concorde supersonic airliner narrowly survived a congressional committee vote that sought to negate Transportation Secretary Coleman’s ruling limiting flights to New York and Washington on a 16 month trial. The Senate Commerce Committee defeated an airport aid bill amendment 10 to 9 that would ban Concorde flights in the country except in emergencies due to noise and environmental concerns.
