The DCCR is an additional step in our ongoing efforts to fix a problem this administration inherited and has now turned around. Our long-term solution is bringing on line controller workstations of the future. The DCCR will be operational at the Chicago air route center in October 1997. The first DSR is scheduled to be fully operational in Seattle in October 1998. The DCCR will replace IBM 9020E computers that create the displays on the air traffic controllers radar screens.
