A presidential commission warns the U S aviation system is in serious trouble and calls for up to 103 billion dollars in government spending over 32 years. It proposes direct aid to manufacturers, new noise rules, an undersecretary for civil aviation, a national airport land bank, and allowing supersonic transports once noise and environmental goals are met. The report favors private development but allows federal participation if private risk is too great.
