## Memorandum of August 11, 1960
[ INTERAGENCY COORDINATION OF AVIATION MATTERS ] Memorandum forTheSecretaryofState, The Secretary ofDefense,The Secretaryof the Treasury,The Postmaster General,The Secretaryof Commerce, The AdministratoroftheFederalAviation Agency, The Chairman of the CivilAeronautics Board, The Chair-

man of the FederalCommunications Commission, The Directorof the BureauoftheBudget,TheDirector ofthe Office of CivilandDefense Mobilization Ihavetoday issuedanExecutive Order terminating the Air Coordinating Committee as ofthesixtieth day aftertoday. Since its inception in 1946, the Air Coordinating Committee hasmade a significant contribution tothe development and coordination of aviationpolicies and activities ofFederal agencies. I wish to thank the members of the Committee, andallwho have assisted theCommittee, for their services.

It has become evident that a committee established by Presidential Executive Order and concerned with the coordination of both international and domestic aviation mattersis nolonger fieeded. In major part, this has resulted from the enactment of theFederal Aviation Act of 1958 which vested-enlarged coordination responsibilities in the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency and also provided expressly for certain types of interagency coordination.

It is recognized, however, that suitable substitute methods of interagency coordination of aviation matters will be needed in the future. Any interagency arrangements needed for such coordination canbe effected withoutrelying on a Presidentially established committee. Accordingly, it is directed that the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency shall initiate such arrangements

as may be appropriate to effect the needed interagency coordination and to meet the related requirements of the agencies concerned. The responsibilities of the Administrator for establishing such coordination arrangements pursuant to this memorandum will pertain primarily to matters in which agreement of two or more agencies Is necessary by

reason of either law or practical con- siderations; in other matters the agency having responsibility should adopt such

means of obtaining the advice of and informing other agencies as may be appropriate.

In carrying out the responsibilities assigned to him by this memorandum the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency may, subject to law, cause to be established any committees, councils, working groupsandliaisonarrangements which he deems to be necessary or desirable. Participation in the activities of any such committee or other similar body should belimitedto agencies having

a substantial Interest in subjects under consideration. Any secretariat services required in connection with any such committee or other body should be suppliedby the FederalAviation Agency except as other arrangements may be agreed to by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency and the participating agencies.

The need for formalized interagency coordination, and therefore the need for coordination facilities provided upon the initiative of the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, may be expected tobe greatest in theinternational field. Without limiting the foregoing portions of this memorandum, I suggest that the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency cause to be established

a new interagency group forthe purpose -of developing recommendations to the Secretary of State. The group should have only a small continuing membership, including, but not necessarily-limited to, a representative of the Federal Aviation Agency, as chairman of the group, and representatives of the Department of State, the Department of. Defense, the Department of Commerce and the Civil Aeronautics Board. Any other appropriate agency should participate in the activities of the new group when matters of substantial concern to theagency are under consideration. Any secretariat services for the group should be supplied by the Federal Aviation Agency except as other arrangements may be agreed upon by the Administrator of thatAgency and theparticipating agencies.

The Secretaryof Statewill continue to provide foreign policy guidance to the agencies concerned, to conduct all negotiations withforeign governments, and to appoint and instruct United States delegations to international conferences in this field.

In setting forth in this memorandum certain guidelines respecting arrangements for interagency coordination in the aviation field, it is not my intention to precludethe use ofother or additional Inter-agency arrangements permitted by law, withrespect to that field.

This memorandum shall be published in theFEDERAL REGISTER.
