The effect of allowing the FAA to proceed with the closing or remoting the proposed 30 flight stations without complying with the wishes of Congress as expressed in the conference report adopted last year. would be to jeopardize continued services to the flying public such as: Preflight pilot briefing. enroute communications. VFR flights. assisting lost VFR aircraft. originating NOTAMs notice to airmen. broadcasting aviation weather information. accepting and closing flight plans. monitoring radio navaids. participating with search and rescue units in locating missing VFR aircraft. and operating the national weather teletypewriter systems. In addition. at selected locations. flight service stations take weather observations. issue airport advisories. administer airman written examinations. and advise customs and immigration of transborder flight. In the interest for the safety of the flying public. I do not think it unreasonable to insist. as we did last year. that the FAA properly plan and sufficiently test alternate procedures.
