Memorandum of August 11,

1960

[ INTERAGENCY COORDINATION OF

AVIATION MATTERS ]

Memorandum for The Secretary of State,

The Secretary of Defense, The Secretary of the Treasury, The Postmaster

General, The Secretary of Commerce,

The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, The Chairman of the

Civil Aeronautics Board, The Chair- man of the Federal Communications

Commission, The Director of the Bureau of the Budget, The Director of the

Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization

I have today issued an Executive Order

terminating the Air Coordinating Committee as of the sixtieth day after today.

Since its inception in 1946, the Air

Coordinating Committee has made a significant contribution to the development

and coordination of aviation policies and

activities of Federal agencies. I wish to

thank the members of the Committee,

and all who have assisted the Committee,

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 matters is no longer fieeded. In

major part, this has resulted from the

enactment of the Federal 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 can be effected without relying 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 groups and liaison arrangements

which he deems to be necessary or desirable. Participation in the activities

of any such committee or other similar

body should be limited to agencies having

a substantial Interest in subjects under

consideration. Any secretariat services

required in connection with any such

committee or other body should be supplied by the Federal Aviation 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 to be greatest in the international

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 for the 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

the agency 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 that Agency and the participating agencies.

The Secretary of State will continue to

provide foreign policy guidance to the

agencies concerned, to conduct all negotiations with foreign 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 preclude the use of other or additional

Inter-agency arrangements permitted by

law, with respect to that field.

This memorandum shall be published

in the FEDERAL REGISTER.
