JULY 1968
WHAT'S DOING IN WASHINGTON
By CURT OLSEN
This month’s biggest news is the Oral Argument in the Transpacific Route Case. Beginning June 10 and concluding June 13 each of the 16 remaining applicants and the 45 other parties had counsel appear to support, recommend dismissal or otherwise modify the Hearing Examiner’s Recommended Decision. The proceeding now stands awaiting action by the Board. The full five-man Board sat throughout the arguments and now retire to deliberate their decision. This will be sent to the White House (as a series of Orders dealing with each applicant’s new or modified routes) for approval by the President; as required by Section 801 of the Federal Aviation Act where the Order(s) deal(s) with international routes.
General consensus seems to indicate a decision before the November elections.
* * *
In a related hearing, The Pacific Islands Local Service Investigation is scheduled to begin hearings 7/8/68. There are almost as many applicants in this, as the parent case (above) with the same Hearing Examiner as the Transpac Case.
Pan Am has extensive route applications submitted in this Case.

CAB HEARING EXAMINER ROSS NEWMAN issued his Recommended Decision in the Bermuda Service Investigation. He proposed adding Northeast Airlines and Transcaribbean to Eastern, BOAC and PAA in the Bermuda market by:
NEA: BOS-BDA; TCA PHL/Washington—BDA and EAL: addition of ORD and DTW to its present rights. Pan Am would get no new authority. Mr. Newman did put a restriction on TCA’s proposed authority; requiring service to BDA through IAD until the Bilateral Agreement with the UK could be amended to permit direct PHL-BDA service.

BILATERAL AIR TRANSPORT AGREEMENTS:
Italy: Oral Argument before the CAB in the Show-Cause Case may have influenced the Italian Government in its action to permit Pan Am to increase cargo frequencies to 2/wk. The CAB has not issued its decision and the exploratory talks that took place last month have not yet led to fruitful negotiations.
Portugal: Talks were recessed after several days of meeting in Washington the end of May. The Portuguese maintain they have the right to predetermine capacity, while the U.S. disagrees. Present summer schedules filed by PAA were allowed, but the situation remains serious.
Mexico: U.S. airlines filed schedule increase recently with the Mexican Government to ensure adequate capacity for U.S. tourists visiting Mexico during the Olympic Games. Talks have been held without announced results.
Japan: JAL was granted Vancouver-SFO and beyond to MEX rights with “Blind Sector” rights between Vancouver and SFO.
France: There hasn’t been any news lately from Paris about the agreement reached a couple of months back. It is ru-
mored there are some unknown disturbances affecting the Government’s actions.
Israel: EL AL’s President recently spoke at a press luncheon in Washington and stated it was his intention to file application to serve at least five more U.S. cities. The present U.S.-Israel bilateral does not stipulate EL ALs’ U.S. points of service, merely the “United States.”
Greece: Talks scheduled to begin in Athens July 2.
Colombia: Talks scheduled to begin July 1 in Bogota.
Brazil: Talks are set for mid-July in Rio.
Thailand: The Thai Government rejected PAA’s application for SYD-BKK service.
Service to JNB by PAA on a second weekly frequency has been rejected by the Governments of Nigeria (Lagos) and the Congo (Kinshasha). To date talks have not overcome objections both governments have to increase in this service.

The CAB Order separated the MIA-LON route case from the East Coast Points to Europe Service Investigation. We petitioned to intervene and have been named as a party to the Proceeding. A date for beginning of hearings has not been set. The East Coast Points to Europe Investigation has been delayed by the Board’s Order of Separation. This case will examine the need for service from BOS; HFD; PHL; BAL and Washington, D.C., on the one hand and points in Norway,
