US POLITICS-CONSOLIDATION INFORMATION

This message is for the members of the list who have an interest in the

proposed Consolidation.

I thank those of you who have communicated your concerns, questions and

comments about consolidation.

I know individual members of the steering committee answered some of the

communication and I thank them for their response. I am also aware that

additional information is being requested. In order to ensure that all

inquires are addressed, beginning this week, I will gather the information

relayed through this list and provide a synthesized reply once per week. (Most

often on a Monday)

I encourage all stakeholders, AOPA and Academy members, who will ultimately

vote on this to share your comments and questions. Please use this list,

direct e-mail or call a member of the steering committee.(The phone number/e-

mail of steering committee members can be found on the web at www.opoffice.org

under Consolidation Buzz, Pursuing Consolidation)
