(Civil PenaltyAction) FDMS No. FAA-2012-0477 The Honorable J. E. Sullivan, Administrative Law Judge

RESPONDENT'S SUGGESTION OF HEARING LOCATION Respondent, The Liberty Foundation ("TLF"), by and through its undersigned attorney, opposes the FAA's request that the hearing in this matter be in the Chicago, Illinois area, and respectfully suggests the appropriate location for the hearing is the Atlanta, Georgia, area. In support of its suggestion, TLF states: TLF anticipates calling the below listed persons as witnesses, all of whom live in the Atlanta, Georgia area: 1. Rodney Schneider 2. Raymond Fowler 3. David Wilkins 4. Fran DeJoseph

1 There likely will be other witnesses who will testify on behalf ofTLF, butwho are notyet known to be available, who live and work in theAtlanta, GA area. STUARTA. GOLDSTEIN, P. A. 9350 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY, 10TH FLOOR, MIAMI, FL 33156 T: (305) 670-1222 F: (305) 670.7065SIIJARTGO! DSTEINPA@AIU:iEI2 In addition, Respondent anticipates calling two employees of the Federal Aviation Administration as witnesses: Aviation Safety Inspectors David Alderman and David Miller. InspectorsAlderman and Miller live and work in the Nashville, Tennessee area. Given the substantial cost that would be attendant on TLF to transport its witnesses to the Chicago area and house them for the duration of the hearing, fairness to TLF, a charitable foundation with limited resources, tips the balance in favor of holding the hearing in the Atlanta, Georgia area. There is no prejudice to the FAA if the hearing is held in theAtlanta area. Respectfully submitted, Stuart
