Dear Senator Spong:

     In our report to you entitled Growth And Use of Washington
Area Airports (B-159719, dated August 18, 1971), we stated that
we planned to furnish you a report at a later date in response to
your questions concerning the legal status and jurisdiction over
improvements made by the air carriers at Washington National
Airport (National) in the event the airport is sold. Information
on this matter follows.

     In January 1966, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
issued a statement to repres-entfives o'fair carriers serving the
Washington area explaining that some of the air carriers operating
at National had approached FAA with requests to improve or con-
struct certain facilities at National for their exclusive use and
occupancy. According to FAA's statement, the air carriers' requests
contemplated the leasing of land area and unoccupied space in the
main terminal, and undertaking improvements and construction at
their own expense.

     In its statement, FAA advised the carriers that (1) the
Government would entertain requests from any scheduled air carrier
operating at National for improvement of existing facilities,
rental of unused facilities, or rental of land area; (2) any agree-
ment with an air carrier must commence ona mutually agreeable date
and expire on or before September 30, 1971; and (3) an air carrier's
rights under such an agreement would not be permitted to interfere
with the Government's plans or preparations for any improvement it
might decide to make in the airport areas in which the carrier's
facilities were located.


     As shown in the
FAA, 12 air carriers
National since 1965.
