I think the article will be of interest to many who read the REcORD. and I include it with my remarks. as follows: It is a sobering fact of the jet age that both the beginning and the end of a journey by airswift and effortless as it may bemust be by ground transportation. Whether arriving from Karachi. La Paz. or Denver as a diplomat. vacationer. or refugee. the alternatives for getting into town are much the sameboard an airport bus. hail a taxi. or wait for Cousin Amy to drive out to meet you. With airports being built farther and farther from urban centers. to minimize the problem of noise and to allow for more and longer runways. ground transportation becomes ever more important. and also makes a firm and lasting impression on all who must travel or choose to travel by air. To those who land at Washington National. and Dulles International Airport in Chantilly.
