Dear Senator Spong:                                                            )

     Your letter of June 16, 1970, requested our assistance in clarify-
ing several matters which have or are expected to come up in testimony--
during Senate hearings on the operation of Washington National (National)
and Dulles International (Dulles) Airports. The questions included in
your letter relate principally to landing field use agreements between
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the air carriers serving
the above airports and landing fees and use agreements at other air car-
rier airports with comparable traffic. In addition, you requested that
we furnish you with a breakdown of landing field area and other operat-
ing costs and revenues for Dulles and National from fiscal year 1963 to
the present. In accordance with agreements reached with Mr. Jack Lewis
of your staff, we furnished him with the financial data separately. In
accordance with your request, we are enclosing the following information.

     I. Background and evaluation of selected provisions of the
         Dulles and National airport landing field use agreements
         (Enclosure I).

     2. Discussion of landing fees and air carrier use agreements
         for airports with traffic conditions comparable to Dulles
         and National airports (Enclosure I1).

     We trust that the information presented herewith will serve your
purpose. The information contained in this report was obtained prin-
cipally from FAA records. FAA, however, has not had an opportunity to
formally review and comment on this report. We plan to make no further
distribution of this report unless copies are specifically requested and
then we shall make distribution only after your agreement has been ob-
tained or public announcement has been made by you concerning the contents
of the report.

                                       Srcerely your



                                     Comptroller General
                                     of the United States
