The other seeks to add San Antonio as a stop on the New York to Mexico City air route, currently ending at Fort Worth. Co signs with engineer Thomas Coghill and airport manager William Steinhardt. Representative Paul Kilday joins urging FWA approval. A plan to fund about 60 000 dollars is noted, with a third option near 750 000 dollars.
